01. In a load flow problem solved by Newton-Raphson method with polar coordinates, the
size of the Jacobian is 100 100. If there are 20 PV buses in addition to PQ buses and a slack
bus, the total number of buses in the system is _________ .
01. Ans: 61
Solution:
Size of Jacobian = 2 PQ buses + PV buses
100 = 2 PQ + 20
PQ = 40
Total no. of buses = PQ + PV + Slack bus= 40 + 20 + 1 = 61 bus

03. Let y 2 2y 1 x and x y 5 . The value of x y equals _________. (Give the answer
up to three decimal places)
03. Ans: 5.732

x y 5
x 5 y .(i)
Since, y2 2y + 1 = x
y2 2y + 1 = (5 y)2

closest to
(a) 1500 (b) 1470
(c) 157 (d) 154
05. Ans: (c)

120 120 50
Synchronous speed = f 1500 rpm
P 4
This speed is in terms of mechanical angle.
2
Speed in mechanical rad/sec = 1500 50 mech rad/sec

Since, both stator & rotor flux rotate at synchronous speed with respect to stator.
Hence, speed sensed by stationery observer = 50 rad/ sec
Speed 50 157 rad/ sec

(c) D1 conducts for 180 and D2 conducts for 180.
(d) D1 conducts for more than 180 and D2 conducts for 180.
11. Ans: (a)

The inductance given in the problem is source inductance due to which there is overlap
between the two diodes.
Hence, each diode conducts for (180 )
where is overlap angle.
12. The figure below shows the circuit diagram of a controlled rectifier supplied from a 230
V, 50 Hz, 1-phase voltage source and a 10:1 ideal transformer. Assume that all devices are
ideal. The firing angles of the thyristors T1 and T2 are 90 and 270, respectively.
The RMS value of the current though diode D3 in amperes is ___________
12. Ans: 0
Since the load is purely resistance, the conduction does not go beyond 180.
Hence, the freewheeling diode does not come into conduction. So, rms current through D3 is
0.

06. There are three boxes. One contains apples, another contains oranges and the last one
contains both apples and oranges. All three are known to be incorrectly labelled. If you are
permitted to open just one box and then pull out and inspect only one fruit, which box
would you open to determine the contents of all three boxes?
(a) The box labelled Apples (b) The box labelled Apples and Oranges
(c) 18 (d) 19
06. Ans: (b)

We will open box labeled apple and oranges & we draw one fruit
If it is apple, then it cannot be box containing apples & oranges as it must be incorrectly
labeled.
So, it must contain apples.
Same case will happen if drawn fruit is orange
Then, we are left with two boxes & two labels & we know label is incorrect on box so we can
place correct label.

terms.
The authors belief that ideology is not as important as literature is revealed by the word:
(a) culture (b) seemingly
(c) urgent (d) political
08. Ans: (b)

The author says it seemed that ideology is more important than literature so he believes
otherwise.

region, which of the following regions is most likely to have a thunderstorm?
(a) P (b) Q
(c) R (d) S
10. Ans: (c)

The region most likely to have a thunderstorm must have contour lines closer to each other.
This ensures that pressure drops very rapidly. .
Hence, region R is most likely to have thunderstorm.
