Answer: 330 watts.
Exp:

100 V
2A
15V
By KCL, current through 15V source is 2A.
→ When current entering in to +ve terminal of a battery means, it is absorbing the power.
→ When current entering in to –ve terminal, means, delivering the power.
→ 100V source is absorbing the power
i.e. (10) (100) = 1000 watts.
→ 80V source is delivering the power
i.e. (8) (80) = 640 watts
→ 15V source is delivering the power
i.e. (2) (15) = 30 watts
∴ The total power absorbed by the circuit elements ie = 1000 - (640+30) = 330 watts.

A fair coin is tossed n times. The probability that the difference between the number of heads
and tails is ( n − 3) is
(A) 2− n
(B) 0
(C)
n
C n −3 2− n
(D) 2− n + 3
Answer:
(B)
Exp: Let X = difference between the number of heads and tails.
Take n = 2 ⇒ S = {HH,HT,TH,TT} and X = −2,0,2; Here, n − 3 = −1 is not possible
Take n = 3 ⇒ S = {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT,THH,THT,TTH,TTT} and X = −3, −1,1,3
Here n − 3 = 0 is not possible
Similarly, if a coin is tossed n times then the difference between heads and tails is n − 3 is not
possible
∴ required probability is 0

The dc current flowing in a circuit is measured by two ammeters, one PMMC and another
electrodynamometer type, connected in series. The PMMC meter contains 100 turns in the
coil, the flux density in the air gap is 0.2 Wb / m 2 , and the area of the coil is 80 mm 2 . The
electrodynamometer ammeter has a change in mutual inductance with respect to deflection of
0.5 mH/deg. The spring constants of both the meters are equal. The value of current, at which
the deflections of the two meters are same, is ________________
Answer: 3.2
Exp:
→ Given pmmc and electro dynamometer type meters are connectsed in series.
→ Both meters are carrying same current. And both are having same spring constants.
→ Both are reflecting same readings. i.e. we should equate the reflecting torques.
For pmmc, T def = BAN.I.
Electrodynometer, T def = I 2 .
BAN.I = I2 .

A three-phase, 4pole, self excited induction generator is feeding power to a load at a
frequency f1. If the load is partially removed, the frequency becomes f2. If the speed of the
generator is maintained at 1500 rpm in both the cases, then
(A) f1 f 2 > 50 Hz and f1 > f 2
(B) f1 < 50 Hz and f 2 > 50Hz
(C) f1 f 2 < 50 Hz and f 2 > f 2
(D) f1 > 50 Hz and f 2 < 50Hz
Answer: (C)
Exp:
Initially self excited generator supply power to a load at f1 . If load is partially removed then
slightly speed increase, also frequency f 2
∴ f 2 > f1
But both cases f1f 2 < 50 Hz

A single phase induction motor draws 12 MW power at 0.6 lagging power. A capacitor is
connected in parallel to the motor to improve the power factor of the combination of motor
and capacitor to 0.8 lagging. Assuming that the real and reactive power drawn by the motor
remains same as before, the reactive power delivered by the capacitor in MVAR is
____________.
Answer: 7MVAR
Exp:
Given, 1 − φ Induction motor draws 12mW at 0.6pf, lag
Let P1 =12mW
cos φ1 = 0.6 pf
To improve pf, cos φ2 = 0.8
( Qc ) del by capacitor = ?
cos φ1 =
P1
12 ×106
⇒ S1 =
S1
0.6
⇒ S1 = 20 MVA
4 Reactive power, Q1 = S12 − P12 =16 MVAR
When capacitor is connected then
cos φ2 =
0.8 =
P1
(∵ Re al power drawn is same )
S2
12 ×106
S2
S2 =15MVA
∴ Re active power ,Q 2 = S22 − P12 = 9MVAR
But motor should draw the same reactive power.
∴ ( Qc )del by capacitor = 16 − 9 = 7 MVAR

There are two generators in a power system. No-load frequencies of the generators are 51.5
Hz and 51Hz, respectively, and both are having droop constant of 1 Hz/MW. Total load in the
system is 2.5 MW. Assuming that the generators are operating under their respective droop
characteristics, the frequency of the power system in Hz in the steady state is __________.
Answer: 50
Exp:
Given, two generators in a power system has no load frequency of 51.5 & 51 Hz.
∴ drop constant=1Hz/mW
Total load=2.5 mW
for generator '1',
generator '2 '
f = − x1 + 51.5
f = − x 2 + 51
∴ − x1 + 51.5 = − x 2 + 51
⇒ x1 − x 2 = 0.5
...(1)
Total load ⇒ x1 + x 2 = 2.5 ...(2)
By solving (1) & (2) ⇒ x1 =

Analysis:
If you will observe the combinational circuit output expression which is the input for T flip
flop is not matching directly, so you should go through the option. If you will solve the
combinational circuit of option (B) then
(

Now, according to consensus theorem J-K will become redundant term, so it should be
eliminated.
Hence, T = JQ n + K.Q n , which in matching with our desired result and option-(B) is correct
answer.

An LPF wattmeter of power factor 0.2 is having three voltage settings 300 V, 150 V and 75
V, and two current settings 5 A and 10 A. The full scale reading is 150. If the wattmeter is
used with 150 V voltage setting and 10 A current setting, the multiplying factor of the
wattmeter is _________.
Answer: 2
Exp: In LPF wattmeter, Td on the moving system is small owing to low power factor even when
the current and potential coils are fully excited. Also the errors introduced due to inductance
of pressure coil tend to be large at low power factors. So for calculating multiplying factor for
a low p.f. wattmeter, p.f. mentioned on the wattmeter should be taken into account.
Therefore,
Multiplying Factor = (Current range used*Voltage range used*p.f)/Power at FSD
Given, Power at Full scale reading = 150
Current Range used
= 10 A
Voltage Range used
= 150 V
Power Factor
= 0.2

Therefore, m =

Instruction given is:
LHLD
2100H
The operation performed by this instruction is load HL register pair from the specified
address in the instruction, directly. HL register pair is required 2-Byte data, but in 8085 at one
address it contains only one-byte data, so this instruction will access two memory locations.
So, first byte address (i.e., 2100H) is mentioned in instruction itself and by default second
byte data is accessed from the next location (i.e., 2101H). Lower address data will be copied
to lower byte ( i.e., ( L ) ← M ( 2100H ) ) and higher address data will be copied to higher byte
(i.e, ( H ) ← M ( 2101H ) )

on Thursday was 15% higher than that of Monday, then the temperature in ºC on
Thursday was
(A) 40
(B) 43
(C) 46
(D) 49
Answer: (C)
Explanations:- Let the temperature of Monday be TM
Sum of temperatures of Tuesday and Wednesday = T and
Temperature of Thursday =TTh
Now, Tm + T = 41 × 3 = 123
& Tth + T = 43 × 3 = 129
∴ TTh − Tm = 6, Also TTh = 1.15Tm
∴0.15Tm = 6 ⇒ Tm = 40
∴ Temperature of thursday = 40 + 6 = 46O C

The horse has played a little known but very important role in the field of
medicine. Horses were injected with toxins of diseases until their blood built up
immunities. Then a serum was made from their blood. Serums to fight with
diphtheria and tetanus were developed this way.
It can be inferred from the passage that horses were
(A) given immunity to diseases
(B) generally quite immune to diseases
(C) given medicines to fight toxins
(D) given diphtheria and tetanus serums
Answer: - (B)
Exp: - From the passage it cannot be inferred that horses are given immunity as in (A),
since the aim is to develop medicine and in turn immunize humans. (B) is correct
since it is given that horses develop immunity after some time. Refer “until their
blood built up immunities”. Even (C) is invalid since medicine is not built till
immunity is developed in the horses. (D) is incorrect since specific examples are
cited to illustrate and this cannot capture the essence.
