PREFACE
This book doesnt make promise but provides complete satisfaction to the readers. The
market scenario is confusing and readers dont find the optimum quality books. This book
provides complete set of problems appeared in competition exams as well as fresh set of
problems.
The book is categorized into units which are then sub-divided into chapters and the
concepts of the problems are addressed in the relevant chapters. The aim of the book is
to avoid the unnecessary elaboration and highlights only those concepts and techniques
which are absolutely necessary. Again time is a critical factor both from the point of view
of preparation duration and time taken for solving each problem in the examination. So
the problems solving methods is the books are those which take the least distance to the
solution.
But however to make a comment that this book is absolute for GATE preparation will be
an inappropriate one. The theory for the preparation of the examination should be followed
from the standard books. But for a wide collection of problems, for a variety of problems
and the efficient way of solving them, what one needs to go needs to go through is there
in there in the book. Each unit (e.g. Networks) is subdivided into average seven number of
chapters on an average each of which contains 40 problems which are selected so as to avoid
unnecessary redundancy and highly needed completeness.
I shall appreciate and greatly acknowledge the comments and suggestion from the users of
this book.

SOL 1.1 Correct answer is 330 W.
We redraw the given electric circuit as
From the given circuit, we have the following observations for the connected
batteries:
100 V battery: As the current flows through the battery from positive to negative
terminal, so it absorbs power.
80 V battery: As the current flows through the battery from negative to positive
terminal, so it delivers power.
15 V battery: As the current flows through the battery negative to positive
terminal, so it delivers power.
Thus, the net power absorbed by circuit elements is obtained as

Since, increase in torque accelerates the motor, so the slope of torque speed
characteristic should be negative to restore the speed to original value, which in
turn makes the system stable.
Thus, for stable operating point, the slope of torque-speed characteristic should
be negative.
Hence, the points P and S are stable operating points.

SOLUTI ON
SOL 5.1 Correct option (B).
In the given Routh-Hurwitz array of polynomial, all the elements of a row have
zero value. This is due to symmetrical location of the roots in the s-plane with
respect to origin. The system is either marginally stable or unstable. Now, we
check this characteristic for all the given options.
Option (A):
Only one root is at origin. So, it does not satisfy the symmetrical condition.
Option (B):
Since, the system has imaginary roots, so we get the pole-zero location diagram
as shown below.
The imaginary roots on jw (imaginary) axis are symmetrical with respect to
origin. Hence, this option is correct.
Option (C):
The system has only positive real roots as shown below. So, the root location
diagram does not satisfy the symmetrical condition.
Option (D):
Again, the system has only negative real roots, as shown below. So, the root
location diagram does not satisfy the symmetrical condition.
SOL 5.2 Correct option (C).
We have the root locus diagram as

As the root locus have poles s 1 =- , 2 - and root lies in even multiple of poles,
so it is converse of the main transfer function. Hence, gain should be negative, i.e.

SOL 5.11 Correct option is (A).
For the given system, we have
G s H s ^ ^ h h 1 <
So, we may easily conclude that the Nyquist-plot intersect the negative real axis
between 0 and 1 - point, i.e. the Nyquist plot does not enclose the point , 1 0 - ^ h
or in other words number of encirclements is zero.
N 0 = ...(1)
From Nyquist criterion, we have the relation
N P Z = - ...(2)
where P is the number of open loop poles in right-half of s-plane and Z is the
number of closed loop poles (roots of characteristic equation) in right-half of s
-plane. Since, for a stable closed loop system, we must have
Z 0 = ...(3)
Thus, from equations (1), (2), and (3), we get
P 0 =
i.e. no poles of open loop system lies in right-half of s-plane, or in other words,
all the poles lies in left-half of s-plane.
Hence, the given system is stable if all poles of G s H s ^ ^ h h are in left half of the
s-plane.
SOL 5.12 Correct option is (B).
We have the block diagram of given system as

SOL 5.36 Correct option is (B).
Since initial slope of the bode plot is 40 - dB/decade, so no. of poles at origin
is 2.
Transfer function can be written in following steps:
1. Slope changes from 40 - dB/dec. to 60 - dB/dec. at 2
1
w = rad/sec., so at
1
w there is a pole in the transfer function.
2. Slope changes from 60 - dB/dec to 40 - dB/dec at 5
2
w = rad/sec., so at
this frequency there is a zero lying in the system function.
3. The slope changes from 40 - dB/dec to 60 - dB/dec at 25
3
w = rad/sec, so
there is a pole in the system at this frequency.

Since there is no feedback in the circuit and ideally op-amp has a very high value
of open loop gain, so it goes into saturation (ouput is either V + or V - ) for
small values of input.
The input is applied to negative terminal of op-amp, so in positive half cycle it
saturates to V - and in negative half cycle it goes to V + .

Switch (i):
When V V >

; diode will be OFF, but the transistor is ON.
When V V >
b a
; transistor is OFF, but diode will be ON.
So, the switch can not block voltages of either polarity when the active device
(diode or transistor) is in the OFF state.

When V V >
a b
, both diode and transistor are ON.
When V V >
b a
both diode and transistor are OFF.
So, the switch can block voltages of either polarity when the active devices
(diode and transistor) are in the OFF state.
Switch (iii):
When V V >
a b
, the SCR is ON.
When V V >
b a
, the SCR is OFF.
So, the switch can block voltages of either polarity when the active device (SCR)
is in the OFF state.
Switch (iv):
When V V >
a b
, diode is OFF.
When V V >
b a
, SCR is OFF.
So, the switch can not block voltages of either polarity when the active device
(SCR or diode) is in the OFF state.
Thus, the switches (ii) and (iii) only can block voltage of either polarity, when
active device is OFF.

We consider the following two cases :
Case I : When , Q Q

ON
In this case the ve + terminal of V
0
will be at higher voltage. i.e. V 0 >
0
and so
i 0 >

(i.e., it will be ve + ). Now, when the Q

goes to OFF condition we
consider the second case.
Case II : When Q

, Q
4
ON and Q, Q
2
OFF :
In this condition, ve - terminal of applied voltage V
0
will be at higher potential
i.e., V 0 <
0
and since, inductor opposes the change in current so, although the
polarity of voltage V
0
is inversed, current remains same in inductor i.e. I 0 >
0
.
This is the condition when conduction have been asked.
In this condition , V I 0 0 > >
0 0 ^ h since, IGBTs cant conduct reverse
currents therefore current will flow through , D D

Thus, D

OFF state and current passes through diode. In this condition the voltage across
Q

On eliminating y, we have

Hence these will be infinitely many solutions for any given b

Given the set of points in complex plane,
S

and the function,

By complex number property, we know

Thus, for the given set of points, i.e. z 1 = ; the value of function is
f z

i.e. f z ^ h maps S to the point (1, 0) on the plane.

z t ^ h is the convolution of x t ^ h and y t ^ h, i.e.

SOL 10.7 Correct option is (B).
Given the fair coin is tossed n times. Assume that
Number of head appearing x = times

So, x

Again, y is an integer and n is also an integer value. So, the above relation is

Given, the quadratic equation
x x P P 3 2 1
2
+ + - ^ h 0 =
It will have the roots with opposite sign if
P P 1 - ^ h 0 <
So it can be possible only when
P 0 < and 0 P 1 > -
or P 0 > and 0 P 1 < -
The 1
st
condition tends to no solution for P .
Hence, from the second condition, we obtain
0 P 1 < <
i.e., P is in the range , 0 1 ^ h

We will categorize the 8 bags in three groups as :
(i) A A A
1 2 3
, (ii) B B B
1 2 3
, (iii) C C
1 2
Weighting will be done as bellow :
1
st
weighting " A A A
1 2 3
will be on one side of balance and B B B
1 2 3
on the other.
It may have three results as described in the following cases.
Case 1 : A A A
1 2 3
= B B B
1 2 3
This results out that either C
1
or C
2
will heavier for which we will have to
perform weighting again.
2
nd
weighting " C
1
is kept on the one side and C
2
on the other.
if C
1
C >
2
then C
1
is heavier.
C
1
C <
2
then C
2
is heavier.
Case 2 : A A A
2 1 3
B B B >
1 2 3
it means one of the A A A
1 2 3
will be heavier So we will perform next weighting as:
2
nd
weighting " A
1
is kept on one side of the balance and A
2
on the other.
if A
1
A
2
= it means A
3
will be heavier
A
1
A >
2
then A
1
will be heavier
A
1
A <
2
then A
2
will be heavier
Case 3 : A A A
1 2 3
B B B <
1 2 3
This time one of the B B B
1 2 3
will be heavier, So again as the above case weighting
will be done.
2
nd
weighting " B
1
is kept one side and B
2
on the other
if B
1
B
2
= B
3
will be heavier
B
1
B >
2
B
1
will be heavier
B
1
B <
2
B
2
will be heavier
So, as described above, in all the three cases weighting is done only two times to
give out the result so minimum no. of weighting required = 2.

Let us assume total voters are 100. Thus 40 voter (i.e. 40 %) promised to vote
for P and 60 (rest 60 % ) promised to vote fore Q.
Now, 15% changed from P to Q (15 % out of 40)
Changed voter from P to Q 40 6
