 Question 1
Two matrices A and B are given below:
$A=\begin{bmatrix} p &q \\ r& s \end{bmatrix};$ $B=\begin{bmatrix} p^2+q^2 & pr +qs \\ pr+qs & r^2+s^2 \end{bmatrix}$
If the rank of matrix A is N, then the rank of matrix B is
 A N/2 B N-1 C N D 2N
Engineering Mathematics   Linear Algebra
Question 1 Explanation:
\begin{aligned} A &=\begin{bmatrix} p & q\\ r & s \end{bmatrix} \\ A \times A=A^2&=\begin{bmatrix} p^2+q^2 & pr+qs\\ pr+qs & r^2+s^2 \end{bmatrix} =B \\ A^2 &=B \end{aligned}
Rank of amtrix does not change when we squaring the matrix, hence rank of B = rank of A=N.

\begin{aligned} \int_{1}^{2}Kx^2dx &=1\\ \left.\begin{matrix} K\frac{x^3}{3} \end{matrix}\right|_1^2&=1\\ K\left ( \frac{8}{3}-\frac{1}{3} \right )&=1\\ \frac{7K}{3}&=1\\ K&=\frac{3}{7}=0.42 \end{aligned}

Fiven signal $f(t)$ is an odd signal. Hence, $F(\omega )$ is imaginary and odd function of $\omega$.
 Question 6
The line A to neutral voltage is $10 \angle 15^{\circ}$V for a balanced three phase star connected load with phase sequence ABC . The voltage of line B with respect to line C is given by

Question 6 Explanation:
Given,
$V_{AN}=10\angle 15^{\circ}volt$
As the system is balanced and phase sequence is ABC, therefore,
$V_{AN}=10\angle 15^{\circ}$
$V_{BN}=10\angle 135^{\circ}V$ and $V_{CN}=10\angle 255^{\circ}V$
$\therefore$ voltage of line w.r.t. line C is
$V_{BC}=V_{BN}-V_{CN}$
$V_{BC}=10\angle 255^{\circ}-10\angle 135^{\circ}$
$V_{BC}=10\sqrt{3}\angle -75^{\circ} Volt$

Question 8 Explanation:

Driving point impedance, Z(s) is ,
$Z(s)=s+\left ( \frac{\left ( s+\frac{1}{s} \right )\times \frac{1}{s}}{s+\frac{1}{s}+\frac{1}{s}} \right )$
$\;\;=s+\left ( \frac{s^2+1}{s^2} \right )\times \frac{s}{s^2+2}$
$\;\;=s+\frac{s^2+1}{s(s^2+2)}$
$\;\;=\frac{s^2(s^2+2)+^2+1}{s^3+2s}$
$Z(s)=\frac{s^4+3s^2+1}{s^3+2s}$
