Electronics And Communication - ECE 2012 GATE Paper (Practice Test) - Question 1

Q. 1 - Q.  5 carry one mark each.

Q.

If (1.001)1259 = 3.52 and (1.001)2062 = 7.85, then (1.001)3321

Detailed Solution for Electronics And Communication - ECE 2012 GATE Paper (Practice Test) - Question 1

Option (D) is correct option.
Let 1.001 = x
So in given data :
x1259 = 3.52
x2062 = 7.85
Again x3321 = x1259+2062
= x1259x2062
= 3.52 x 7.85
= 27.64

Electronics And Communication - ECE 2012 GATE Paper (Practice Test) - Question 7

Raju has 14 currency notes in his pocket consisting of only Rs. 20 notes and Rs. 10 notes. The total money values of the notes is Rs. 230. The number of Rs. 10 notes that Raju has is

Detailed Solution for Electronics And Communication - ECE 2012 GATE Paper (Practice Test) - Question 7

Let no. of notes of Rs.20 be x and no. of notes of Rs. 10 be y .
Then from the given data.
x + y = 14
20x + 10y = 230
Solving the above two equations we get
x = 9, y = 5
So, the no. of notes of Rs. 10 is 5.

Electronics And Communication - ECE 2012 GATE Paper (Practice Test) - Question 8

There are eight bags of rice looking alike, seven of which have equal weight and one is slightly heavier. The weighing balance is of unlimited capacity. Using this balance, the minimum number of weighings required to identify the heavier bag is

Detailed Solution for Electronics And Communication - ECE 2012 GATE Paper (Practice Test) - Question 8

We will categorize the 8 bags in three groups as :
(i) A1A2A3 (ii) B1B2B3 (iii) C1C<2
Weighting will be done as bellow :
1st weighting → A1A2A3 will be on one side of balance and B1B2B3 on the other. It
may have three results as described in the following cases.
Case 1 : A1A2A3 = B1B2B3

This results out that either C1 or C2 will heavier for which we will have to perform
weighting again.
2nd weighting " C1 is kept on the one side and C2 on the other.
if C1 > C2 then C1 is heavier.
C1 < C2 then C2 is heavier.

Case 2 : A1A2A3> B1B2B3it means one of the A1A2A3 will be heavier So we will perform next weighting as:
2nd weighting → A1 is kept on one side of the balance and A2 on the other.
if A1 = A2 it means A3 will be heavier
A1 > A2 then A1 will be heavier
A1 < A2 then A2 will be heavier

Case 3 : A1A2A3 < B1B2B3
This time one of the B1B2B3 will be heavier, So again as the above case weighting
will be done.
2nd weighting " B1 is kept one side and B2 on the other
if B, = B2 B3 will be heavier
B1 > B2        B1 will be heavier
B1 < B2        B2 will be heavier
So, as described above, in all the three cases weighting is done only two times to
give out the result so minimum no. of weighting required = 2.

Electronics And Communication - ECE 2012 GATE Paper (Practice Test) - Question 9

The data given in the following table summarizes the monthly budget of an average
household.

The approximate percentages of the monthly budget NOT spent on savings is

Detailed Solution for Electronics And Communication - ECE 2012 GATE Paper (Practice Test) - Question 9

Total budget = 4000 + 1200 + 2000 + 1500 + 1800
= 10,500
The amount spent on saving = 1500
So, the amount not spent on saving
= 10,500 − 1500 = 9000
So, percentage of the amount
= (9000/10500) x100%
= 86%

Detailed Solution for Electronics And Communication - ECE 2012 GATE Paper (Practice Test) - Question 14

Electric field of the propagating wave in free space is given as

So, it is clear that wave is propagating in the direction (− 3ax + 4ay).
Since, the wave is incident on a perfectly conducting slab at x = 0. So, the reflection
coefficient will be equal to −1.

i.e

Again, the reflected wave will be as shown in figure.

i.e. the reflected wave will be in direction 3ax + 4ay . Thus, the electric field of the
reflected wave will be.

Electronics And Communication - ECE 2012 GATE Paper (Practice Test) - Question 16

Consider the given circuit

Detailed Solution for Electronics And Communication - ECE 2012 GATE Paper (Practice Test) - Question 16

The given circuit is

Condition for the race-around
It occurs when the output of the circuit (Y1,Y2) oscillates between ‘0’ and ‘1’
checking it from the options.
1. Option (A): When CLK = 0

it won’t oscillate for CLK = 0.
So, here race around doesn’t occur for the condition CLK = 0.
2. Option (C): When CLK = 1, A = B = 1
A1 = B1 = 0 and so Y1 = Y2 = 1
And it will remain same for the clock period. So race around doesn’t occur for the
condition.
3. Option (D): When CLK = 1, A = B = 0
So, A1 = B1 = 1
And again as described for Option (B) race around doesn’t occur for the condition.
So, Option (A) will be correct.
