4. The largest measuring cylinder that can accurately fill 3 tanks of
capacity 98, 182 and 266 litres each, is of capacity?
a) 7 lts
b) 14 lts
c) 98 lts
d) 42 lts
Answer: (b)
Solution:
To know the measuring cylinder that can fill all the given
capacities, they must be divisible by the required number.
98, 182, 266 all are divisible by 14

2


So 14 litres is the largest cylinder that can fill all the given
cylinders

(Or)
The other method is take HCF of all given capacities i.e. 98, 182
and 266.
5. In how many different ways can the letters of the word
'CORPORATION' be arranged so that the vowels always
come together?
a) 810
b) 1440
c) 2880
d) 50400
Answer: (d)
Solution:
In the word 'CORPORATION', we treat the vowels OOAIO as
one letter.
Thus, we have CRPRTN (OOAIO).
This has 7 (6 + 1) letters of which R occurs 2 times and the rest
are different.
Number of ways arranging these letters = 7!/2! = 2520
Now, 5 vowels in which O occurs 3 times and the rest are
different, can be arranged in 5!/3! = 20 ways
∴ required number of ways = (2520 × 20) = 50400.

46. Given the relationship between the input u (t) and the output y

(t) to be ( ) = ∫0 (2 + − ) −3( − ) ( ) the transfer function

Y(s)/U(s) is

a) 2 −2
+3

b) +2
( +3)2

c) 2 +5
+3

d) 2 +7
( +3)2

Answer: (d)

Solution:

Relation between input, u(t) and output, y(t):
( ) = ∫0 (2 + − ) −3( − ) ( )

38


Observe that the above integral is a convolution operation

between the input u(t) and the impulse response of the system.
( ) = [(2 + ) −3 ( )] ∗ ( )
∴ ℎ( ) = (2 + ) −3 ( )

Use the LT pairs:

−3 ( ) → 1
+3

−3 ( ) → 1

47. y[n] denotes the output and x[n] denotes the input of a

discrete-time system given by the difference equation y[n]-

0.8y[n – 1] = x[n] + 1.25x[n + 1]. Its right-sided impulse

response is

a) causal

b) unbounded

c) periodic

d) non-negative

Answer: (d)

Solution:

From the given difference equation

( ) − 0.8 ( − 1) = ( ) + 1.25 ( + 1)

( ) = ( ) = 1+1.25 1
( ) 1−0.8 −1

= 1 + 1.25
1−0.8 −1 1−0.8 −1

39


For right-sided impulse response, h(n) the ROC is | | > 0.8
∴ ℎ( ) = (0.8) ( ) + 1.25(0.8) +1 ( + 1)
ℎ( ) ≠ 0, < 0

So, it can be verified that h(n) is non casual, bounded and not
periodic.
ℎ( ) ≤ , < ∞; h(n) is bounded.
h(n) is not periodic as it is a monotonically decaying sequence.
→ h(n) is non negative
48. A system with input x (t) and output y (t) is defined by the
input - output relation: ( ) = ∫−−∞2 ( ) . The system will be
a) causal, time - invariant and unstable
b) casual, time - invariant and stable
c) non-causal, time invariant and unstable
d) non - causal, time -variant and unstable
Answer: (d)
Solution:
Given ( ) = ∫−−∞2 ( )
y at time t is depending on values of x(t) in the range of t = -∞ to
(-2t
i.e., y for negative values of time is depending on x at positive
values of time.
Hence system is non-casual.
For a bounded input like a step function the output is not
bounded, as the input is integrated.

40


Hence system is unstable
For input, x(t) output ( ) = ∫−−∞2 ( )
For ( − 0), = ∫ − =2− ∞ ( − 0)

= ∫ − =2− ∞− 0 ( 1) 1 … … (1)
When 1 = − 0
But = ( − 0) = ∫−−∞2( − 0) ( ) … … . . (2)

As equations (i) and (ii) are not equal, system is time-variant

∴ System is non-casual, time-variant, and unstable.

It may be noted that the system is Linear.

51. The armature resistance of permanent magnet dc motor is 0.8

ohm. At no load, the motor draws 1.5 A from a supply voltage

of 25 V and runs at 1500 rpm. The efficiency of the motor while

it is operating on load at 1500 rpm drawing a current of 3.5 A

from the same source will be

a) 48.0%

b) 57.1%

c) 59.2%

d) 88.8%

Answer: (a)

Solution:

At no load developed power (P) = EbIa

Eb = 25 – 1.5 × 0.8 = 23.8 V

P = 23.8 × 1.5 = 35.7 W

Under no load condition the developed power is useful to

overcome friction & windage losses.
∴ friction & windage losses = 35.7W

Under loaded condition armature Cu loss = (3.5)2 × 0.8 = 9.8W

∴ Total losses = 35.7 + 9.8 = 45.5 W

Input to motor = × = 25 × 3.5
= 87.5

= − × 100


42


= 87.5−45.5 × 100 = 48%
87.5

Data for Question 52:

A 240V dc shunt motor draws 15A while supplying the rated

load at a speed of 80 rad/s. The armature resistance is 0.5 ohm

and the field winding resistance is 80 ohm.

52. The net voltage across the armature resistance at the time of

plugging will be

a) 6 V

b) 234 V

c) 240 V

d) 474 V

Answer: (d)

Solution:

Motor operation before plugging:

Circuit immediately after plugging (reversing supply to the
armature, while shunt field current direction is unchanged):

43


Since field flux direction is unchanged, and speed also is
unchanged (speed cannot change instantaneously due to inertia)
the induced emf does not change in magnitude or polarity and is
as shown in fig.2. The voltage drop across the armature
resistance (by KVL) is then (240 + 234) = 474 V.

54. The hysteresis loop of a magnetic material has an area of 5cm2

with the scales given as 1cm = 2AT and 1cm = 50mWb. At

50Hz the total hysteresis loss is ______ W.

Answer: 25

Solution:

Area enclosed by the hysteresis loop = energy loss due to

hysteresis per cycle.

50 Hz = 50 cycles/sec

The hysteresis loop is given to have an area of 5 cm2.

An area of 5 cm2 corresponds to 5 × 2× 50 (At) (m Wb) = 0.5

Joules.

MVAR is installed to maintain the load factor at 0.97 lagging. If
the capacitor goes out of service, the load power factor becomes
a) 0.85 lag
b) 1.00
c) 0.80 lag
d) 0.90 lag
Answer: (c)
Solution:
Let the initial power factor angle = ∅1
After connecting a capacitor, the power factor angle = ∅2
Given ∅2 = cos−1 0.97
= 14.070

46


(tan ∅1 − tan ∅2) = supplied by capacitor
4 × 106(tan ∅1 − tan 14.07) = 2 × 106
cos ∅1 = 0.8

Hence if the capacitor goes out of service the load power factor
becomes 0.8 lag
