c
sinq = sin18c = 0.309
= 0 314 - 0 309 #100 = 0 49

% error .
Now, we check it for q = 50c
= = p =

180
c
sinq = sin50c = 0.77
0.77 0.873 . % = 0 873 12 25 - =-
% error .
so, the error is more than 10%. Hence, for error less than 10%,
q = 18c can have the approximation
sin q . q
1.2 Option (A) is correct.
For, a given matrix A 6 @ the eigen value is calculated as
A - lI = 0
where l gives the eigen values of matrix. Here, the minimum eigen
value among the given options is
l = 0
We check the characteristic equation of matrix for this eigen value
A - lI = A (for l = 0)

Hence, it satisfied the characteristic equation and so, the minimum
eigen value is
l = 0
1.3 Option (D) is correct.
Given, the polynomial
f^xh a4x 4
a x 3
a x 2

a x a
= + + + 1 - 0
Since, all the coefficients are positive so, the roots of equation is
given by
f^xh = 0
It will have at least one pole in right hand plane as there will be
least one sign change from ^a1h to ^a0h in the Routh matrix 1st col-umn.
Also, there will be a corresponding pole in left hand plane
i.e.; at least one positive root (in R.H.P)
and at least one negative root (in L.H.P)
Rest of the roots will be either on imaginary axis or in L.H.P

Sum of the principal diagonal element of matrix is equal to the sum
of Eigen values. Sum of the diagonal element is -1 - 1 + 3 = 1.In
only option (D), the sum of Eigen values is 1.
1.34 Option (C) is correct.
The product of Eigen value is equal to the determinant of the matrix.
Since one of the Eigen value is zero, the product of Eigen value is
zero, thus determinant of the matrix is zero.
Thus p11p22- p12p21 = 0

sinz can have value between -1 to +1. Thus no solution.
1.37 Option (A) is correct.
We have f (x) = ex + e-x
For x > 0, ex > 1 and 0 < e-x < 1
For x < 0, 0 < ex < 1 and e-x > 1
Thus f (x) have minimum values at x = 0 and that is e0+ e-0 = 2.

Now, given that
C1 = 10 mF ; V 10V ^ 1hmax =

i.e., V2 < V ^ 2hmax
Hence, this is the voltage at C2. Therefore,
V3 = 2 volt
V2 = 0.8 volt

2.14 Option (A) is correct.
In the given circuit
VA- VB = 6 V
So current in the branch will be
IAB 2 3 A
We can see, that the circuit is a one port circuit looking from
terminal BD as shown below
For a one port network current entering one terminal, equals the
current leaving the second terminal. Thus the outgoing current from
A to B will be equal to the incoming current from D to C as shown
i.e. IDC = IAB = 3 A
The total current in the resistor 1 W will be
I1 = 2 + IDC (By writing KCL at node D)
= 2 + 3 = 5 A
So, VCD = 1#(- I1) =- 5 V
2.15 Option (C) is correct.
When 10 V is connected at port A the network is

RTh = 2 W
Substituting RTh into equation (i)
VTh,10 V = 3(2 + 1) = 9 V
Note that it is a non reciprocal two port network. Thevenin voltage
seen at port B depends on the voltage connected at port A. Therefore
we took subscript VTh,10 V. This is Thevenin voltage only when 10 V
source is connected at input port A. If the voltage connected to port
A is different, then Thevenin voltage will be different. However,
Thevenin’s resistance remains same.
Now, the circuit is as shown below :

7 V
This is a linear network, so VTh at port B can be written as
VTh = V1a + b
where V1 is the input applied at port A.
We have V1 = 10 V, VTh,10 V = 9 V
` 9 = 10a + b ...(i)
When V1 = 6 V, VTh, 6 V = 9 V
` 7 = 6a + b ...(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii)
a = 0.5, b = 4
Thus, with any voltage V1 applied at port A, Thevenin voltage or
open circuit voltage at port B will be
So, VTh,V1 = 0.5V1+ 4
For V1 = 8 V
VTh,8 V = 0.5#8 + 4 = 8 = Voc (open circuit voltage)
2.17 Option (A) is correct.
Replacing P - Q by short circuit as shown below we have
Using current divider rule the current Isc is

From z matrix, we have
v1 = z11i1+ z12i2
v2 = z21i1+ z22i2
If v2 = 0
Then

2.44 Option (D) is correct.
According to maximum Power Transform Theorem
ZL = Z* s = (R s - jX s
)
2.45 Option (C) is correct.
At w " 3, capacitor acts as short circuited and circuit acts as shown
in fig below
Here we get
V 0 =

V

At w " 0, capacitor acts as open circuited and circuit look like as
shown in fig below
Here we get also
V 0 =

V
i
So frequency response of the circuit is as shown in fig and circuit is
a Band pass filter.
2.46 Option (D) is correct.
We know that bandwidth of series RLC circuit is

2.47 Option (D) is correct.
Here Vth is voltage across node also. Applying nodal analysis we get
V V V i

But from circuit i V V

Therefore
V V V V
2 1 1 2
or Vth = 4 volt
From the figure shown below it may be easily seen that the short
circuit current at terminal XY is isc = 2 A because i = 0 due to
short circuit of 1 W resistor and all current will pass through short
circuit.
Therefore Rth 2

2.48 Option (A) is correct.
The voltage across capacitor is
At t = 0+, Vc (0+) = 0
At t = 3, VC (3) = 5 V
The equivalent resistance seen by capacitor as shown in fig is
Req = 20 20 = 10kW
Time constant of the circuit is
t = ReqC = 10k # 4m = 0.04 s
Using direct formula
= 3 - 3 - -t t
V ( ) (1 e / ) V (0)e /
Vc (t) V ( ) [V ( ) V (0)]e /
