remaining half have two children per family. The probability that a child picked
at random, has a sibling is _____
1.5 | |
0.67 | |
2 | |
3 |
Question 2 Explanation:
Required probability
=\frac{\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{3}}{\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{3}}=\frac{2}{3}=0.666
=\frac{\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{3}}{\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{3}}=\frac{2}{3}=0.666
Question 3 |
C is a closed path in the z -plane by |z| = 3. The value of the integral \oint_{c}(\frac{z^{2}-z+4j}{z+2j})dz is
-4\pi (1+ j2 ) | |
4\pi (3- j2 ) | |
-4\pi (3+ j2 ) | |
4\pi (1- j2) |
Question 3 Explanation:

\oint_{c} \frac{z^{2}-z+4 j}{z+2 j}
Pole =z=-2 j
which is inside of |z|=3
From Cauchy integral formula
\begin{aligned} \oint \frac{z^{2}-z+4 j}{z+2 j} &=2 \pi i\left[\lim _{z \rightarrow-2 j} z^{2}-z+4 j\right] \\ &=2 \pi j[-4+2 j+4 j] \\ &=2 \pi j[-4+6 j] \\ &=-4 \pi[2 j+3] \end{aligned}
Question 4 |
A real (4x4) matrix A satisfies the equation A_{2} = I, where I is the (4x4)
identity matrix. The positive eigen value of A is _____.
1 | |
2 | |
3 | |
4 |
Question 4 Explanation:
\begin{aligned} \text{since, }A^{2}=l, \text{eig}\left(A^{2}\right)&=\text{eig}(I)=1 \\ \Rightarrow \quad \text{eig}(A)^{2}&=1\\ \Rightarrow \quad \text{eig}(A)&=\pm 1 \end{aligned}
Therefore, the positive eigen value of A is +1.
Therefore, the positive eigen value of A is +1.
Question 5 |

0.5 | |
0.33 | |
0.25 | |
0.75 |
Question 5 Explanation:
If multiple independent random variables are uniformly distributed in the same interval then each random variable will have equal chances to be largest and to be lowest.
P\left(X_{1} \text { is the largest) }=\frac{1}{3}\right.
P\left(X_{1} \text { is the largest) }=\frac{1}{3}\right.

Using KVL at all the three nodes we get,
At node A
i_{5}-i_{3}+i_{2}=0\qquad \ldots(i)
At node B
i_{4}+i_{1}-i_{2}=0\qquad \ldots(ii)
At node C
i_{6}+i_{3}-i_{1}=0 \qquad \ldots(iii)
By putting the value of i_{3} and i_{2} from equation (i)
and (ii) in equation (iii) we get,
\begin{aligned} i_{6}+\left(i_{2}+i_{5}\right)-i_{1}&=0 \\ i_{6}+\left(i_{1}+i_{4}+i_{5}\right)-i_{1}&=0 \\ \therefore \quad i_{6}+(2-1-4)-2&=0 \\ i_{6}&=5 \mathrm{A} \end{aligned}

Question 8 Explanation:
\begin{array}{l} \text { Responsivity }(R)=\frac{I_{p}}{P_{o}} \\ \text { where } I_{p}=\text { Photo current } \\ \qquad P_{0}=\text { Incident power } \\ \therefore \quad I_{p}=R \times P_{0}=8 \mu \mathrm{A} \end{array}

In the figure, assume that the forward voltage drops of the PN diode D_{1} and
Schottky diode D_{2} are 0.7 V and 0.3 V, respectively. If ON denotes conducting
state of the diode and OFF denotes non-conducting state of the diode, then in
the circuit,

D_{1} is ON and D_{2} are OFF | |
both D_{1} \; and \; D_{2} are OFF | |
D_{1} is OFF and D_{2} are ON |
Question 9 Explanation:

Apply KVL
\begin{aligned} 10 &=1000 I+20 I+0.3 \\ I &=\frac{9.7}{1020} \\ I &=9.5 \mathrm{mA} \end{aligned}
Now, we calculate V_{D_{1}} of
\begin{aligned} & 10=9.5+V_{D_{1}} \\ \therefore V_{D_{1}} &=0.5 \mathrm{V} \end{aligned}
since v_{D_{1}} \lt 0.7 \mathrm{V}, \quad \mathrm{D}_{1} is in OFF state i.e. our assumption is correct and hence (D) is the correct option.
