SOL
Correct option is (B).

Acquiescence Acceptance without protect
Submission The Act of submitting
Wheedle Influence and arguing by gentle urging, caressing as flattering.
Round about Deviation from a straight course
Flippancy Inappropriate lavite (light mindedness)
Lightness Having a light
Profligate A dissolute men in fashionable society

Similar sentence is given in option (C)

She had a terrific time at the parts terrific
Here, terrific means very great or intense, extraordinary good or great.
However, the statements given in other options, give a different meaning as
described below.
Option (A)
Terrible means causing fear or dread as terror.
Option (B)
Horrible means a thing that causes horror.
Option (C)
Terrifying means causing extreme terror.
Based on the given statements, select the most appropriate option to solve
the given question.
If two floors in a certain building are 9 feet apart, how many steps are there
in a set of stairs that extends from the first floor to the second floor of the
building?
Statements:
(I) Each step is 3 foot high.

(II) Each step is 1 foot wide.
(A) Statement I alone is sufficient, but statement II alone is not sufficient.

Correct option is (A)

Given
Distance between two floors of building = 9 feet

Height of each step = 34
(Statement I)

Width of each step = 1
(Statement II)
Using the data give in statement I, we may calculate the number of steps in
a set of stairs as

n = 9 # 4 = 12 step
3
So, statement I is sufficient to give the answer.
However, there is no use of width given in statement II to calculate number
of required steps in set of stairs. So, width of foot can be anything, and it is
not sufficient to obtain the number of steps.
Thus, statement I alone is sufficient, but statement II alone is not sufficient.

Therefore, we have

Vin > VDAC
(3.5 > 2.56)
So, it maintains the bit in second clock pulse. Again, it will load value in
output register as

^11000000h2 = ^192h10
So,
VDAC = 192 # 20 mV = 3.84 V

For this, we have

Vin < VDAC
(3.5 < 3.84)
So, it will clear the bit in second cycle. So, after second cycle, the output is

= ^10000000h2 = ^128h10
Similarly, in third cycle, it will load bit in output register as

^10100000h2 = ^160h10
and we obtain

VDAC = 160 # 20 = 3.2 V
Since,
Vin > 3.2 V
So, it maintains the loaded bit. Hence, at the end of third bit, we have

^10100000h2 = ^160h10
The single-phase full-bridge voltage source inverter (VSI), shown in figure, has
an output frequency of 50 Hz. It uses unipolar pulse width modulation with
switching frequency of 50 kHz and modulation index of 0.7 for Vm = 100 V DC,
L = 9.55 mH, C = 63.66 F , and R = 5 , the amplitude of the fundamental

Given maxterm representation,

f Â, B, C, D h = M ^0, 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15h
So, the minterm representation for the Boolean function is

f Â, B, C, D h = m ^2, 6, 8, 10h
Here, A is MSB and D is LSB, so we form the K-map as

From the K-map, we have

In option (C), the expression is

= ACD + AB D ^1 + C h

= ACD + AB D
This is same as that obtained from the K-map. Hence, the equivalent

The circuit shown in the figure has two sources connected in series. The
instantaneous voltage of the AC source (in volt) is given by v ^ t h = 12 sin t . If

flowing in the circuit is______

From the circuit, we have

So,
i ^ t h =
+ 12 sin t (1)
^1 + jwh ^1 + jwh
Now, we have
for dc voltage, Vdc = 8 V

for v ^ t h = 12 sin t
= 1 rad/sec,
So, equation (1) becomes
