Question 1 Explanation: 
It is forming a closed loop. So it can't be a tree.
Question 2
The equivalent inductance measured between the terminals 1 and 2 for the circuit shown in the figure is
A
L_{1}+L_{2}+M
B
L_{1}+L_{2}-M

Question 2 Explanation: 


If current enters the dotte terminals of coil 1 then a voltage is developed across coil 2 whose higher potential is at dotted terminals.
\begin{aligned} V &=\frac{-M d I}{d t}+\frac{L_{1} d I}{d t}-\frac{M d I}{d t}+L_{2} \frac{d I}{d t} \\ &=\left(L_{1}+L_{2}-2 M\right) \frac{d I}{d t}\\ V&=L_{e q} \frac{d I}{d t} \end{aligned}

B
5 sin(2t - 53.1^{\circ})
C
25 sin(2t + 53.1^{\circ})
D
