TANGEDCO AE EE Full Test - 4 - Question 4

The function f(x) = 3 + |x - 2| at the point (2, 3) is

Detailed Solution for TANGEDCO AE EE Full Test - 4 - Question 4

Concept:


g(x) = ϕ(x-2) = |x-2|
Shift the graph to right on X-axis by 2 units.


F(x) = g(x) + 3 = 3 + |x-2|
Shift the above graph 3 units on the y-axis in the upward direction.


As the graph is continuous on the given point (2, 3). So the given function is continuous at the point (2, 3). But there is a sharp edge at point (2, 3), so the limiting value of the function in the left and right proximity of the point will be different. Hence the function is not differentiable at the point (2, 3).

Important Point

L' Hospital's rule:
If by plugging the values the limit is coming to be 0/0 or , all we need to do is differentiate the numerator and differentiate the denominator and then take the limit. We can keep on differentiating until the limit can be estimated.
For example,

Putting x → 0, we are getting 0/0

Differentiating the numerator and denominator we get,

Putting x → 0, we are getting 0/0
Differentiating the numerator and denominator again we get,

Putting x → 0, we are getting 0/0

Differentiating the numerator and denominator again we get,

TANGEDCO AE EE Full Test - 4 - Question 7

A radio station broadcasts at a frequency of 108 M. If the broadcast is an electromagnetic wave, then what is its wavelength?

Detailed Solution for TANGEDCO AE EE Full Test - 4 - Question 7

Concept:

  • Wavelength (λ): It is equal to the distance traveled by the wave during the time in which any one particle of the medium completes one vibration about its mean position. It is the length of one wave.
  • Frequency (f) : It is defined as the number of vibrations completed by the particle in one second.
    • It is the number of complete wavelengths traversed by the wave in one second.

The relation between velocity, frequency, and wavelength is given by
c = f × λ

where, c = velocity of light, f = frequency Hz, λ = wavelength
Calculation:
Given that, f = 108 MHz, c = 3 × 108 m/s (standard value)
Putting all the values in
c = f × λ
λ = c/f = 3 × 108/ 108 × 106 = 2.7 m
The correct option is 2.7 m.

{
return a + b;
}
main()
{
int c;
c = add (10, 20);
printf("c = %d", c);
}

In this Program Add function is following the call by value mechanism so that value cannot be called outside the function So the answer will be a+b = 10+ 20 = 30

Therefore Option B is correct

TANGEDCO AE EE Full Test - 4 - Question 9

Given,

Gas: H2, CH4, CO2, SO2.

Critical temperature/K: 33, 190, 304, 630.

On the basis of data given above, predict which of the following gases shows the least adsorption on a definite amount of charcoal?
Detailed Solution for TANGEDCO AE EE Full Test - 4 - Question 9

Concept:

  • The same adsorbent (charcoal in this case) at the same temperature will adsorb different gases to a different extent. The extent to which gases are adsorbed is proportional to the critical temperature of the gas.

Where a, is the magnitude of intermolecular forces between gaseous molecules. Thus, higher the critical temperature more is the gas adsorbed. Among the given gases, H2 has the minimum critical temperature, i.e. 33 K thus; it shows least adsorption on a definite amount of charcoal
TANGEDCO AE EE Full Test - 4 - Question 10

In C programming, which of the following loop use explicitly breaks out of the loop by executing the break; statement?

Detailed Solution for TANGEDCO AE EE Full Test - 4 - Question 10

while Loop:
Both while loops and do-while loops are condition-controlled, meaning that they continue to loop until some condition is met. While loops check for the stopping condition first, and may not execute the body of the loop at all if the condition is initially false.

where the body can be either a single statement or a block of statements within { curly braces }.
do-while Loops:
do-while loops are exactly like while loops, except that the test is performed at the end of the loop rather than the beginning. This guarantees that the loop will be performed at least once.

In theory, the body can be either a single statement or a block of statements within { curly braces }, but in practice, the curly braces are almost always used with do-whiles.
for Loops:
for-loops are counter-controlled, meaning that they are normally used whenever the number of iterations is known in advance.

TANGEDCO AE EE Full Test - 4 - Question 11
Fluid is a substance that
Detailed Solution for TANGEDCO AE EE Full Test - 4 - Question 11

Concept:

  • ​The distinction between a solid and a fluid is made on the basis of the substance’s ability to resist an applied shear (tangential) stress that tends to change its shape.
  • A solid can resist an applied shear by deforming its shape whereas a fluid deforms continuously under the influence of shear stress, no matter how small its shape is.
  • A fluid can be defined as a substance which is capable of flowing and changing its shape according to the surrounding without offering internal resistance. Liquid offers no resistance to change of shape and it conforms to the shape of its surrounding.
  • The fluid is a substance that continues to deform under the action of shear forces. If shear force is absent, fluid will be at rest.
TANGEDCO AE EE Full Test - 4 - Question 12

A network has a pole at s = -1 and a zero at s = -2. If this network is excited by sinusoidal input, the output

Detailed Solution for TANGEDCO AE EE Full Test - 4 - Question 12

The given network has a pole at s = -1 and a zero at s = -2.

The transfer function of the network can be represented as

TF = s+2 / s+1

The phase angle of the above system is,

The above phase angle is negative for all the frequencies. Therefore, the above system provides a lagging angle. This network is an example of lag compensator.

Therefore, if this network is excited by sinusoidal input, the output lags the input.

Note:

If the network provides a leading angle, then the output will be leading the input.

If the network provides zero angle, then the output will be in phase with the input.

TANGEDCO AE EE Full Test - 4 - Question 13

Calculate the regulation of the transformer in which ohmic loss is 1% of the output and reactance drop is 5% of the voltage, when the power factor is 0.8 leading

Detailed Solution for TANGEDCO AE EE Full Test - 4 - Question 13

Concept:
Voltage regulation is the change in secondary terminal voltage from no load to full load at a specific power factor of load and the change is expressed in percentage.
E2 = no-load secondary voltage
V2 = full load secondary voltage
Voltage regulation for the transformer is given by the ratio of change in secondary terminal voltage from no load to full load to no load secondary voltage.

Voltage regulation
It can also be expressed as,

Regulation

Regulation = %R cos ϕ ± %X sin ϕ
+ sign is used for lagging loads
- ve sign is used for leading loads
Where %R = ohmic drop
%X = reactance drop
Calculation:
Ohmic loss (%R) = 1%
Reactance drop (%X) = 5%
Power factor = cos ϕ = 0.8 leading
sin ϕ = 0.6
Regulation = %R cos ϕ ± %X sin ϕ
= 1 (0.8) - 5 (0.6) = -2.2%

TANGEDCO AE EE Full Test - 4 - Question 14

For a type 1 system, the low frequency asymptote of its Bode plot will have a slope of

Detailed Solution for TANGEDCO AE EE Full Test - 4 - Question 14

In a Bode magnitude plot,

  • For a pole at the origin, the initial slope is -20 dB/decade
  • For a zero at the origin, the initial slope is 20 dB/decade
  • The slope of magnitude plot changes at each corner frequency
  • The corner frequency associated with poles causes a slope of -20 dB/decade
  • The corner frequency associated with poles causes a slope of -20 dB/decade
  • The final slope of Bode magnitude plot = (Z – P) × 20 dB/decade

Type-1 System:

A low-frequency slope of the magnitude plot of -20 dB/decade indicates a single pole of G(s)H(s) at s = 0 and therefore a type 1 system.

V0 = (1/3) × 200 = 66.66 Volt

V.R.F. = ≈ 1.5

TANGEDCO AE EE Full Test - 4 - Question 16
A packet filtering firewall operates at which of the following OSI layers?
Detailed Solution for TANGEDCO AE EE Full Test - 4 - Question 16

The correct answer is At the network.

Packet-filtering firewalls operate at the network layer (Layer 3) of the OSI model. Packet-filtering firewalls make processing decisions based on network addresses, ports, or protocols.

Host-to-Network Layer :
This is at the lowest of the stack among layers in the TCP/IP model. The host has to communicate to the network using some protocol, so that it may transmit IP packets over it. This protocol differs from host to host and network to network.
Protocols used: ARPANET, SATNET, LAN, packet radio are the protocols that are utilized in this layer.

Transport Layer :

  • It performs the same functions as that of the transport layer present in the OSI model. Here are the key points regarding the transport layer:
    1. It uses TCP and UDP protocol for an end to end transmission.
    2. TCP is a reliable and connection-oriented protocol.
    3. TCP also handles flow control.
    4. The UDP is not reliable and a connectionless protocol also does not perform flow control.
  • Protocols utilized in this layer: TCP/IP and UDP protocols are deployed in this layer.

Internet Layer :

  • The responsibility of this layer is to permit the host to insert packets into the network and then make them travel independently to the destination. However, the sequence of receiving the packet may vary from the sequence they were sent.
  • Protocols used: Internet Protocol (IP) is deployed in the Internet layer.

Application Layer :
This layer is the same as that of the OSI model and performs the given functions:
It provides various facilities such as manipulation of information in different ways, redistributing the files of information, distributing the results, etc.
The functions such as log in or password checking are also performed by the application layer.
Protocols used in this layer: TELNET, HTTP, NNTP, FTP, SMTP, DN are the protocols employed in this layer.
TANGEDCO AE EE Full Test - 4 - Question 17
Which type of chopper is generally used in high power circuits where load fluctuation is not very large?
Detailed Solution for TANGEDCO AE EE Full Test - 4 - Question 17

Chopper circuits are known as DC to DC converters. Similar to the transformers of the AC circuit, choppers are used to step up and step down the DC power. They change the fixed DC power to variable DC power.

Applications of Choppers:

Load Commutated Chopper:

In this type of commutation, the current through the SCR is reduced below the holding current value by resonating the load. In this type, the load circuit is so designed that even though the supply voltage is positive, an oscillating current tends to flow and when the current through the SCR reaches zero, the device turns off.

This type of chopper is used in Series Inverter circuits.

Current Commutated Chopper:

This is a type of commutation in which an LC series circuit is connected across the SCR. Since the commutation circuit has negligible resistance it is always under-damped i.e., the current in the LC circuit tends to oscillate whenever the SCR is on.

Voltage Commutated Chopper:

Voltage commutated choppers are widely used in high power circuits where load fluctuation is not large.

TANGEDCO AE EE Full Test - 4 - Question 19

At a particular instant, the R- phase voltage of a balanced 3-phase system is +30 V, and the Y - phase voltage is -90V. The voltage of B - phase at that instant is

Detailed Solution for TANGEDCO AE EE Full Test - 4 - Question 19

Concept:
Let's consider 3-phase balanced voltage phasors as
VR = Vm sin (ωt)
VY = Vm sin (ωt - 120°)
VB = Vm sin (ωt -240°)
Where
VR, VY, VB are phase voltages of the balanced 3 phase system
Vm is the maximum value
Calculation:
Given that
at particular instant VR = + 30 V, VY = -90 V
VR = Vm sin (ωt) = +30
VY = Vm sin (ωt - 120°) = -90
Divide VR by VY
We will get, sin (ωt - 120°) = -3 sin (ωt)By solving wt =19.1°
And VR = 30 = Vm sin (ωt)
⇒ Vm = 91.68 V
Now substitute the value of wt and Vm in the VB equation,
VB = Vm sin (ωt +120°)
= 91.68 sin( 19.1°+120°)
=60 V
Therefore the value of B phase VB = +60 V
Alternative method:
At any instant of time sum of all the three phasors of three phase balanced system is equal to zero
so, VR + VY + VB =0
Given that at some instant VR = +30 V , VY = -90 V
From the above equation +30 + (-90) + VB = 0
⇒ VB = +60 V

TANGEDCO AE EE Full Test - 4 - Question 20

  • The infinite radius half-circle will start at the point where the mirror image of the polar plot ends. And this infinite radius half-circle will end at the point where the polar plot starts.

Analysis:


The above plot is not having ‘’ radius semi-circle. It means the system is a Type-0 system.

TANGEDCO AE EE Full Test - 4 - Question 22
A differentially compound DC generator has its series and shunt field providing 20% and 80% flux respectively. The series field is suddenly short circuited without changing the load. Then the terminal voltage ignoring all the resistances
Detailed Solution for TANGEDCO AE EE Full Test - 4 - Question 22

In a differentially compound DC generator,

Flux due to shunt field ϕrh = 80% of ϕ

Flux due to series field ϕre = 20% of ϕ

Since all the resistances are ignored, the voltage drop is zero.

⇒ Vt = Eg

As, Vt = Eg - IaRa

Vt = terminal voltage

Eg = generated voltage

The generated voltage is,

⇒ Eg ∝ ϕ

⇒ Vt ∝ ϕ ⇒ Vt ∝ (ϕrh – ϕre)

Now, the series field is suddenly short-circuited

⇒ ϕre = 0

Percentage change in terminal voltage = 100 × (Vtnew - Vtold) / Vtold

⇒ % change in Vt = 100 × (0.8 ϕ - 0.6 ϕ) / 0.6 ϕ

⇒ % change in Vt = 100 × 1 / 3 = 33.33%

∴ Terminal voltage increases by 33.33%

m = 3, n = 3
By using Sum by column method.

y(n) = x1(n) * x2(n)

Output y(n) = {1, 2, 3, 2, 1}

TANGEDCO AE EE Full Test - 4 - Question 29
If X ∼ N (0, 1) and Y = X2 then the correlation coefficient r (X, Y) is
Detailed Solution for TANGEDCO AE EE Full Test - 4 - Question 29

Concept:

The correlation coefficient is given by

Cov(X,Y) = E(XY) – E(X) E(Y)

Where cov(X, Y) = covariance of X and Y; σ = standard deviation; E = expectation;

Calculation:

Given X ∼ N (0, 1)μx = 0 & σx2 = 1 ⇒ σx = 1;

And the probability density function will be

μx = 0 ⇒ E(X) = 0;

var(X) = σX2 = E (X2) – [E (X)]2 = 1 ⇒ E (X2) = 1;

Given Y = X2; therefore Y is a chi-square distribution with 1 degree of freedom.

For a chi-square distribution with degree of freedom (n) = 1,

Expectation = E(Y) = n = 1; variance = σy2 = 2 × n = 2;

Now

E(XY) = E (X3) =

Hence, the function inside the integral is odd, we can say it is symmetric w.r.t zero.

E(X3) = 0;

Now

Cov(X, X2) = E (X3) – E(X) E(X2) = 0 – 0 × 1 = 0;

TANGEDCO AE EE Full Test - 4 - Question 30

The purpose of including an external resistance at the time of starting a DC motor is to

Detailed Solution for TANGEDCO AE EE Full Test - 4 - Question 30

A starter is necessary to start a DC motor because it restricts initial high armature current that exists, as the value of starting back-EMF is zero.
A resistor is used in the starter for a DC shunt motor

  • When the connected dc motor is to be started, the lever is turned gradually to the right
  • When the lever touches point 1, the field winding gets directly connected across the supply, and the armature winding gets connected with resistances R1 to R5 in series
  • During starting, full resistance is added in series with the armature winding
  • Then, as the lever is moved further, the resistance is gradually is cut out from the armature circuit
  • Now, as the lever reaches to position 6, all the resistance is cut out from the armature circuit and armature gets directly connected across the supply

So, the purpose of including an external resistance at the time of starting a DC motor is to reduce the starting current.
