6.     Which of the following analog modulation scheme requires the minimum transmitted power and
minimum channel bandwidth?

(a) VSB

(b) DSB-SC

(c) SSB  (ans)

(d) AM

Solution :     VSB  → fm + fc

           DBS - SC  → 2 fm

                  SSB  → fm

                   AM → 2 fm

Thus SSB has minimum bandwidth and it required minimum power i.e. 17% as compared to AM.
 7.      A device with input x(t) and output y(t) is characteristic by : y (t) = x2(t). An FM signal with frequency
deviation of 90 KHz and modulation signal bandwidth of 5 KHz is applied to this device. The bandwidth of
the output signal is

(a) 370 KHz  (ans)

(b) 190 KHz

(c) 380 KHz

(d) 95 KHz

Solution : In present case

∆f = 90; fm = 5

β = [∆f / fm] = [90/5] = 18

FM equation

A cos [wct  + β = sin wmt]

= A cos [wct  + 18 sin wmt]

y(t) = x2 (t) = A2 cos2 [wct  + 18 Sin wmt]

Note : Cos2 q = [1 + Cos2q] / 2

If there is change in frequency the modulation index also changes in same ratio

y(t) = A2 [(1/2) + (1/2) Cos {2wct  + 36Sin wmt}]

y(t) = [(A2/2) + (A2/2) Cos {2wct  + 36Sin wmt}]

After the device,

β(new) = 36 = [∆f(new) / fm]

∆f(new) = 36 x 5 = 180

By carson's rule

Bandwidth = 2(∆f +  fm)

               = 2 (180 + 5)
Bandwidth = 370 kHz

 9.     A carrier is phase modulated (PM) with frequency deviation of 10 KHz by a single tone frequency of 1
KHz. If the single tone frequency is increased to 2 KHz, assuming that phase deviation remains
unchanged, the bandwidth of the PM signal is

(a) 21 kHz

(b) 22 kHz

(c) 42 kHz

(d) 44 kHz   (ans)

Solution : ∆f = 10 KHz     fm(new) = 2 KHz

fm = 1 KHz

By carson's Rule

BW = 2 (∆f + fm) = 2 (10 + 1) = 22 KHz

∆ f(new) = 2 x 10 = 20

BW(new) = 2 (20 + 2) = 44 kHz

________ each working now for 10 hours daily, the work can be completed in time.

A140
B150
C59
D100
Answer: Option B
Explanation:

One day's work = 2 / (7 * 90)

   One hour's work = 2 / (7 * 90 * 8)

  One man's work = 2 / (7 * 90 * 8 * 75)

  The remaining work (5/7) has to be completed within 60 days, because

  the total number of days allotted for the project is 150 days.

  So we get the equation

   (2 * 10 * x * 60) / (7 * 90 * 8 * 75) = 5/7 where x is the number of

men working after the 90th day.

We get x = 225

Since we have 75 men already, it is enough to add only 150 men.

My cousin lends me Rs.10 lakhs for studying in United States at 8% compound interest per
annum, during the course period of 2 years and at 12% per annum after completion of my
studies. If I return 50% of the amount which is to be returned on completion of studies, and the
remaining after one year, how much interest must I pay him during the whole period in Lakhs?

A1.12 
B2.36
C2.72
D3.06
Answer: Option B
Explanation:

Amount which is to be returned on completion of studies = 10,00,000 [(1+8/100)^2]

                                                                                  =Rs.11,66,400

But amount which is returned on completion of studies =11,66,400/2 = Rs.5,83,200

Amount which is returned after one year of completion of studies =5,83,200 [(1+12/100)^1] =

Rs.6,53,184

: . Total amount returned = 5,83,200 + 6,53,184 = Rs.12,36,384

: . Interest paid = 12,36,384 – 10,00,000 = Rs.2,36,384 = Rs.2.36 lakhs

The total capital investment in setting up a production unit is Rs.15 lakhs and the production unit
produces 3 million kg of product annually. Selling price of product is 9 per kg. Manufacturing
cost include raw material at the rate Rs.0.8 per kg, labour at the rate 1.2 per kg, packing at the
rate of 0.6 per kg and utilities at the rate of 0.8 per kg. General expenses comes out to be 15% of
manufacturing cost. If taxes are considered as 33% of gross annual earnings, determine the net
profit of the production unit per year?

A0.5 crores
B1.02 crores
C1.5 crores
D2 crores
Answer: Option B
Explanation:

Manufacturing cost = 3.4 per kg. (0.8 +1.2+.6+.8)

General expenses = 0.15 * 3.4 = 0.51 per kg

Total cost = 3.4 +0.51 = 3.91

Profit = 9-3.91 = 5.09

Profit for 3 million kg of product = 5.09 *30,00,000 = Rs. 1,52,70,000 = Rs.1.52 crores

Tax = .33 *1.52 = 0.5016 crores.

Net profit = 1.52 –0.50 = 1.02 crores.

A man deposited Rs.40,000 in a bank at 10% per annum interest compounded yearly. Now after
two years, the government comes out with a law that any annual interest greater than Rs.2500
will be taxed at the end of the year. Also, the rate of interest is decreased to 8%. How much
should the man withdraw now so as, not to pay tax at the end of the year?

ARs.16750
BRs.23000
CRs.17150
DRs.8750
Answer: Option C
Explanation:

Amount (including C I at end of two years) = 4000 *1.1*1.1 = Rs.48400

For annual interest of Rs.2500 at 8%, principle amount that should be deposited = 2500/0.08 =
Rs.31250.

Amount that should be withdrawn = 48400 – 31250 = Rs.17150.

The compound interest on a certain sum for 2 years is Rs.1100 and the simple interest is
Rs.1000. If this sum is invested such that the simple interest is Rs.400 and the number of years is
equal to rate percent per annum, find the new rate percent.

A2%
B4%
C8%
D16%
Answer: Option B
Explanation:

Simple interest for one year= 1000/2= Rs.500

Compound interest for 1 year= Simple interest for 2 years+ Simple interest on Simple interest of
1 year= 500 * 2 +100
:. Rate of interest= 100*(100/500)= 20%
Hence, sum= 500 * (100/20)= 2,500
Now this money is again invested
Let n be number of years and rate of interest
:. 400= (2500 * n2)/100   :.n= 4

A man invested 3/3 of his capital at 7% , 1/4 at 8% and the remainder at 10% If his annual
income is Rs.561. The capital is:

A5200
B6600
C4800
Dnone of these
Answer: Option B
Explanation:

Let the capital be Rs. x.

Then, (x/3 + 7/100 + 1) + (x/4 + 8/100 + 1) + (5x/12 + 10/100 +1) = 561

7x/300 + x/50 + x/24 = 561

51x = 561 * 600

x = 6600.

over A?

ARs.200
BRs.225
CRs.250
DRs.275
Answer: Option C
Explanation:

A’s interest =25 lakhs*2/100 = 50,000

B’s interest = 25 lakhs * (101/100) * (101/100) – 25 lakhs = 50,250

In how many ways can 21 books on English and 19 books on Hindi be placed in a row on a shelf
so that two books on Hindi may not be together?

A3990
B1540
C1995
D3672
Answer: Option B
Explanation:

In order that two books on Hindi are never together, we must place all these books as under:

      X E X E X E X .... X E X

       Where E - denotes the position of an English book and X that of a Hindi book.

       Since there are 21 books on English, the number of places marked X are therefore, 22.
Now,            19 places out of 22 can be chosen in

22C19 = 22C3 = (22 x 21 x 20)/3 x 2 x 1 = 1540 ways

A9780/359
B9340/357
C 9120/329
D8760/269
Answer: Option A
Explanation:

Actual time passed = (6 days * 24 hours) + 19 hours = 163 hours.

given: Clock losses 4 minute in every single day.
(i.e.) In 1440 minutes (24hours * 60 minutes) it losses 4 minutes.
Therefore, the minute hand moves at a slightly slower manner.
That is, the speed of minute hand can be expressed as 1436/1440 fractional part of one minute.
Actual time elapsed is just the reciprocal of it. (i.e.) 1440/1436
Thus in the given time of 163 hours, the actual time elapsed 
= 163 (hours) * 60 (minutes) * 1440/1436 (minutes hand) 
But due to loss in time, the time elapsed by clock is different and = 163*60
Now calculate the difference = (163*60*1440/1436) - (163*60) = 9780/359

Father is aged three times more than his son Raj. After 8 years, he would be two and a half times
of Raj's age. After further 8 years, how many times would he be of Raj's age?

A2 times
B5/2 times
C11/4 times
D3 times
Answer: Option A
Explanation:

Let Raj's present age be x years.

Then, father's present age = (x + 3x) years = 4x years
∴ (4x +8) = 5/2(x + 8)
8x + 16 = 5x + 40
3x = 24 => x = 8
Hence, required ratio = (4x + 16)/(x +16) = 48/24 = 2

A watch which gains 5 seconds in 3 minutes was set right at 6 a.m. In the afternoon of the same
day, when the watch indicated quarter past 3 o' clock, the true time is :

A59 7/12 past 2

B3 p.m.
C58 7/11 minutes past 2
D2 3/11 minutes past 3
Answer: Option B
Explanation:

Error Clock :: Original Clock

3 min 5 sec :: 3 min
185 sec :: 180 sec
[9 hr 15 min = 555 min = 33300 sec]
33300 sec :: (180/185 x 33300) sec
33300 sec :: 32400 sec

33300 – 32400 = 900 sec = 15 min

Time in  error clock is 3.15 p.m.

So time in Original clock = 3 p.m.

A father tells his son, “I was of your present age when you were born”. If the father is 36 now,
how old was the boy 5 years back ?

A13
B15
C17
D20
Answer: Option A
Explanation:

: Let the father’s age be x and the son’s age be y. Then, x-y = y or x = 2y
Now, x = 36. So, 2y = 36 or y = 18.
Therefore son’s present age = 18 years.
So, son’s age 5 years ago = 13 years
