GENERAL APTI TUDE

4. I f the standard deviat ion is less, there wil l beless deviat ion or batsman is more consistent .

5. The given ser ies is

12, 35, 81, 173, 357, .......

The given ser ies fol lows the fol lowing pat tern

12 2 + 11 = 35

35 2 + 11 = 81

81 2 + 11 = 173

173 2 + 11 = 357

357 2 + 11 = 725

– 2– 2

N, V, B, D,

7. By reading the instructions, it is clear that personwho fi l ls form T is a resident female with annualincome of ` 9 Lakh.

8. Let the length of plat form = x.m

and t rain length = 280 m (given)

According to Quest ion

28060

x =28020

x = 560 m.

9. For 2005,t rade deficit = (90 – 70) crores

= 20 crores

Now1

th5

of expor t = 15

(70) crores

= 14 crores

20 crores.

Hence opt ion (a) is wrong.

For 2004,Trade deficit = (80 – 70) crores

= 10 crores

Now 1

th5

of expor t = 15

(70) crores

= 14 crores

20 crores.

Hence opt ion (b) is wrong.

For 2007,Trade deficit = (120 – 110) crores

= 10 crores

Now 1th

5 of expor t =

15

(110) crores

= 22 crores

10 crores.

Hence opt ion (c) is wrong.For 2006

Trade deficit = (120 – 100) crores

= 20 crores

Now 1th

5 of expor t =

15

(100) crores

= 20 crores

= Trade deficits

Hence opt ion (d) is cor rect .

6. Two cascaded sect ions

Z1 = Output impedance of fir st sect ion

Z2 = Input impedance of second sect ion

For maximum power t ransfer, upto 1st sect ion is

ZL = Z1*

ZL = Z2 Z1*

7. Using KVL at al l the three nodes.

i 4 + i 1 – i 2 = 0

i 6 + i 3 – i 1 = 0

i 5 + i 2 – i 3 = 0

I D1 = k(VGS – VT)2

I D1 = K(4 – VP)2 ...(1)

For m2,

I D1 = K(5 – VQ – 1)2

I D2 = K(4 – VQ)2 ...(2)

I D1 = I D2

(4 – VP)2 = (4 – VQ)2

VP = VQ & VP + VQ = 8

VP = VQ = 4V

For m3,

This is not minimum phase system.

Encirclement to the cr i t ical point (– 1, 0) = N = 0

Open loop pole at RHS = P = 1

N = P – z
