and passes a man standing on the platform in 20 seconds. What is the length of the platform
in metres?
Answer: 560

(A) X (B) Y (C) XY (D) X+Y
Answer: (A)
Exp: Given Boolean Expression is ( X + Y ) ( X + Y ) + XY + X
As per the transposition theorem
( A + BC ) = ( A + B )( A + C )
so, ( X + Y ) ( X + Y ) = X + YY = X+0
( X + Y ) ( X + Y ) + XY + X ( )

17. A discrete-time signal x [ n ] = sin ( π2 n ) ,n being an integer,is
(A) periodic with period π . (B) periodic with period π 2 .

(C) periodic with period π / 2 . (D) not periodic
Answer: (D)
9
Exp: Assume x [ n ] to be periodic, (with period N)

⇒ x [n ] = x [n + N]
⇒ sin ( π 2 n ) = sin ( π2 ( n + N ) )
Every frigonometric function repeate after 2π interval.
⇒ sin ( π2 n + 2πk ) = sin ( π 2 h + π 2 N )
 2k 
⇒ 2πk = π2 N ⇒ N =  
 π 
Since ‘k’ is any integer, there is no possible value of ‘k’ for which ‘N’ can be an integer, thus
non-periodic.
18. Consider two real valued signals, x(t) band-limited to [ −500 Hz, 500 Hz ] and y ( t ) band-
limited to [ −1kHz, 1kHz ] . For z ( t ) = x ( t ) . y ( t ) , the Nyquist sampling frequency (in kHz) is
__________
Answer: 3
Exp: x ( t ) is band limited to [ −500Hz, 500Hz ]
y ( t ) is band limited to [ −1000Hz, 1000Hz ]
z ( t ) = x ( t ) .y ( t )
Multiplication in time domain results convolution in frequency domain.
The range of convolution in frequency domain is [ −1500Hz, 1500 Hz ]
So maximum frequency present in z(t) is 1500Hz Nyquist rate is 3000Hz or 3 kHz

19. A modulated signal is y(t) = m.(t)cos(40000 πt ), where the baseband signal m(t) has
frequency components less than 5 kHz only. The minimum required rate (in kHz) at which
y(t) should be sampled to recover m(t) is __________________.
10
Answer: 10 KHz.
Exp: Since m(t) is a base band signal with maximum frequency 5 KHz, assumed spreads as
follows:
M(f )
f
m(t) M(f )
−5k +5k f (Hz)
*1
∵ y(t) = m(t) cos(40000π t) 
7
→ m(f ) [δ(f − 20k) + δ(f + 20k)]
2
1
∴ y(f ) = [ M(f − 20k) + M(f + 20 k)]
2
Thus the spectrum of the modulated signal is as follows:
y(f )
15k 25k f (Hz)

−25k −20k −15k 20k
If y(t) is sampled with a sampling frequency ‘fs’ then the resultant signal is a periodic
extension of successive replica of y(f) with a period ‘fs’.
It is observed that 10 KHz and 20 KHz are the two sampling frequencies which causes a
replica of M(f) which can be filtered out by a LPF.
Thus the minimum sampling frequency (fs) which extracts m(t) from g(f) is 10 KHz.

Instantaneous frequency f i ( t ) = φi ( t ) ×

9. A firm producing air purifiers sold 200 units in 2012. The following pie chart presents the
share of raw material, labour, energy, plant & machinery, and transportation costs in the total
manufacturing cost of the firm in 2012. The expenditure on labour in 2012 is Rs. 4,50,000. In
2013, the raw material expenses increased by 30% and all other expenses increased by 20%.
What is the percentage increase in total cost for the company in 2013?
Transpor Labour
− tation
30% 15%
Plant and Raw Material

machinery 20%
30%
Energy
25%
Answer: 22%
Exp: Let total cost in 2012 is 100
Raw material increases in 2013 to 1.3 x 20=26
Other Expenses increased in 2013 to 1.2 x 80=96
Total Cost in 2013 =96+26=122
Total Cost increased by 22%
Hint:Labour cost (i.e, 4,50,000) in 2012 is redundant data.

37. Consider the common-collector amplifier in the figure (bias circuitry ensures that the
transistor operates in forward active region, but has been omitted for simplicity). Let IC be the
collector current, VBE be the base-emitter voltage and VT be the thermal voltage. Also, g m
and r0 are the small-signal transconductance and output resistance of the transistor,
respectively. Which one of the following conditions ensures a nearly constant small signal
voltage gain for a wide range of values of RE?

38. A BJT in a common-base configuration is used to amplify a signal received by a 50Ω

antenna. Assume kT/q = 25 mV. The value of the collector bias current (in mA) required to
match the input impedance of the amplifier to the impedance of the antenna is________.
Answer: 0.5

Answer: 9.4
Exp: ∵ β = high, I B is neglected
10 k
∴ VB = 12 × = 8V
10 k + 5k
VE = VB − 0.7 = 7.3V
∴ VCE = 12 − 7.3 = 4.7V
∴ Maximum undistorted V0 ( p − p ) = 2 × 4.7V = 9.4V

41. A 16-bit ripple carry adder is realized using 16 identical full adders (FA) as shown in the
figure. The carry-propagation delay of each FA is 12 ns and the sum-propagation delay of
each FA is 15 ns. The worst case delay (in ns) of this 16-bit adder will be __________.
A0 B0 A1 B1 A14 B14 A15 B15
C0 C1 C14 C15
FA 0 FA1 FA14 FA15
S0 S1 S14 S15
20
Answer: 195
Exp: A1 A14 A15
A0 B0 B1 B14 B15
C1 C14 C15
FA 0
C0
FA1 ........ . FA14 FA15
S0 S1 S14 S15
This is 16-bit ripple carry adder circuit, in their operation carry signal is propagating from 1st
stage FA0 to last state FA15, so their propagation delay is added together but sum result is
not propagating. We can say that next stage sum result depends upon previous carry.
So, last stage carry (C15) will be produced after 16 ×12 ns = 192 ns
Second last stage carry (C14) will be produced after 180 ns.
For last stage sum result (S15) total delay = 180ns + 15ns = 195ns
So, worst case delay = 195 ns

(A) 1FH, 1FH, 20H, 12H (B) 1FH, FEH, 1FH, FFH, 12H
(C) 1FH, 1FH, 12H, 12H (D) 1FH, 1FH, 12H, 20H, 12H
Answer: A
Exp: Let the opcode of STA is XXH and content of accumulator is YYH.
Instruction: STA 1234 H
Starting address given = 1FFEH
So, the sequence of data and addresses is given below:

43. A stable linear time invariant (LTI) system has a transfer function H ( s) = . To make
s2 + s − 6
this system causal it needs to be cascaded with another LTI system having a transfer function
H1(s). A correct choice for H1(s) among the following options is
(A) s + 3 (B) s - 2 (C) s - 6 (D) s + 1
21
Answer: B
1 1
Exp: Given, H ( s ) = =
s + s − 6 ( s + 3)( s − 2 )
2
It is given that system is stable thus its ROC includes jω axis . This implies it cannot be
causal, because for causal system ROC is right side of the rightmost pole.
⇒ Poles at s = 2 must be removes so that it can be become causal and stable
simultaneously.
1 1
⇒ ( s − 2) =
( s + 3)( s − 2) s+3
Thus H1 ( s ) = s − 2

47. Consider a transfer function G p ( s ) = with p a positive real parameter.
s2 + ( 3 + p ) s + ( 2 − p )
The maximum value of p until which GP remains stable is ________.
Answer: 2
ps 2 + 3ps − 2
Exp: Given G p ( s ) =
s2 + ( 3 + p ) s + ( 2 − p )
By R − H criteria
The characteristic equation is s 2 + ( 3 + p ) s + ( 2 − p ) = 0
i.e. s 2 + ( 3 + p ) s + ( 2 − p ) = 0
By forming R-H array,
s2 1 (2 − p)
s1 ( 3 + φ ) 0
s0 ( 2 − p )
For stability, first column elements must be positive and non-zero

i.e. (1)( 3 + p ) > 0 ⇒ p > −3
and ( 2 )( 2 − p ) > 0 ⇒ p < 2
i.e. −3 < p < 2
The maximum value of p unit which G p remains stable is 2
