07. Computers were invented for performing only high-end useful computations. However, it is no
understatement that they have taken over our world today. The internet, for example, is ubiquitous.
Many believe that the internet itself is an unintended consequence of the original invention. With
the advent of mobile computing on our phones, a whole new dimension is now enabled. One is left
wondering if all these developments are good or, more importantly, required.
Which of the statement(s) below is/are logically valid and can be inferred from the above

Option A 
 f(x) = 1 ? |x ? 1| 
@ x = 3 
f(x) = 1 ? |3 ? 1| 
 = 1 ? 2 = ? 1 
So, it is not 
Option B 
  f(x) = 1 + |x ? 1| 
@ x = 3 
f(x) = 1 + |3 ? 1| 
= 1 + 2 = 3 
So, it is not 
Option C 
  f(x) = 2 ? |x ? 1| 
@ x = 3 
f(x) = 2 ? |3 ? 1| 
 = 2 ? 2 = 0 
 So, it is true 
Option D 
  f(x) = 2 + |x ? 1| 
@ x = 3 
f(x) = 2 ? |3 ? 1| 
= 2 + 2 = 4 
So, it is not

FAQs on Electrical Engineering (EE) 2016 GATE Paper (Set A) with solution - GATE Electrical Engineering (EE) Mock Test Series 2025

1. What is the GATE exam and why is it important for electrical engineering students?
Ans. The GATE exam, or Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering, is a national-level exam conducted in India to assess the understanding of various undergraduate subjects in engineering and science. It is important for electrical engineering students as it serves as a gateway to postgraduate programs in prestigious institutions, recruitment in public sector companies, and eligibility for scholarships.
2. How can I prepare for the GATE exam in electrical engineering?
Ans. To prepare for the GATE exam in electrical engineering, it is important to have a thorough understanding of the core concepts and topics covered in the syllabus. Some effective strategies include creating a study schedule, practicing previous year question papers, joining coaching institutes or online platforms for mock tests and guidance, and seeking help from experienced faculty members or mentors.
3. What are the career opportunities for electrical engineering graduates after qualifying the GATE exam?
Ans. Qualifying the GATE exam opens up various career opportunities for electrical engineering graduates. They can pursue higher studies in renowned institutions, specialize in a specific field of electrical engineering, or apply for jobs in public sector companies such as BHEL, ONGC, NTPC, etc. Additionally, GATE scores are also accepted by many private companies for recruitment purposes.
4. Can I use a calculator during the GATE exam in electrical engineering?
Ans. No, the use of calculators or any electronic gadgets is strictly prohibited during the GATE exam. The exam is designed to test the problem-solving abilities and understanding of fundamental concepts, and hence, candidates are expected to perform calculations manually.
5. Are there any negative markings in the GATE exam for incorrect answers?
Ans. Yes, there is negative marking in the GATE exam. For multiple-choice questions (MCQs), 1/3 marks are deducted for every incorrect answer, while 2/3 marks are deducted for every incorrect answer in numerical answer type (NAT) questions. It is important to carefully attempt only those questions for which you are confident about the answer to avoid losing marks.
