Question 1 |
Multiplication of real valued square matrices of same dimension is
associative | |
commutative | |
always positive definite | |
not always possible to compute |
Question 1 Explanation:
Matrix multiplication is associative.
Question 2 |
The value of \lim_{x \to 1} \left ( \frac{1-e^{-c(1-x)}}{1-xe^{-c(1-x)}} \right ) is
c | |
c+1 | |
\frac{c}{c+1} | |
\frac{c+1}{c} |
Question 2 Explanation:
Applying L Hospital rule
\lim_{x \to 1}\left ( \frac{1-e^{-c(1-x)}}{1-xe^{-c(1-x)}} \right )=\lim_{x \to 1}\left ( \frac{1-e^{-c+cx}}{-x(ce^{-c+x})-(e^{-c+cx})} \right ) =\frac{-c}{-c-1}=\frac{c}{c+1}
\lim_{x \to 1}\left ( \frac{1-e^{-c(1-x)}}{1-xe^{-c(1-x)}} \right )=\lim_{x \to 1}\left ( \frac{1-e^{-c+cx}}{-x(ce^{-c+x})-(e^{-c+cx})} \right ) =\frac{-c}{-c-1}=\frac{c}{c+1}
Question 3 |
The Laplace transform of a function f(t) is L(f)=\frac{1}{s^2+\omega ^2}. Then f(t) is
f(t)=\frac{1}{\omega ^2}(1-\cos \omega t) | |
f(t)=\frac{1}{\omega} \cos \omega t | |
f(t)=\frac{1}{\omega} \sin \omega t | |
f(t)=\frac{1}{\omega ^2}(1-\sin \omega t) |
Question 3 Explanation:
L(t)=\frac{1}{s^{2}+\omega ^{2}}
f(t)=L^{-1}\left \{ \frac{1}{s^{2}+\omega ^{2}} \right \}=\frac{1}{\omega }\sin \omega t
f(t)=L^{-1}\left \{ \frac{1}{s^{2}+\omega ^{2}} \right \}=\frac{1}{\omega }\sin \omega t
Question 4 |
Which of the following function f(z), of the complex variable z, is NOT analytic at all the points of the complex plane?
f(z)=z^2 | |
f(z)=e^z | |
f(z)=\sin z | |
f(z)=\log z |
Question 4 Explanation:
logz is not analytic at all points.
Question 5 |
The members carrying zero force (i.e. zero-force members) in the truss shown in the
figure, for any load P \gt 0 with no appreciable deformation of the truss (i.e. with no
appreciable change in angles between the members), are


BF and DH only | |
BF, DH and GC only | |
BF, DH, GC, CD and DE only | |
BF, DH, GC, FG and GH only |
Question 5 Explanation:
If at any joint three forces are acting out of which
two of them are collinear then force in third member
must be zero.
