Question: Identify the logic gate

Options:
(a) OR
(b) AND
(c) NAND
(d) XOR
Answer: (c)
Solution: The bulb will glow all the times unless both switches are on, in which case battery
will be grounded and no current will be going through the bulb and it will be off. So this
circuit represents the working of a NAND gate.

Question: If length of wire on stretching is increased by 20% what is percentage increase in

resistance
Options:
(a) 40
(b) 44
(c) 20
(d) 60
Answer: (b)
Solution:
Suppose original length = L, Area of cross-section = A, radius of wire = r and Resistance = R
Since the wire is the same, the resistivity  will be the same.
After the increase in length, let us take new length = L′, radius of wire = r′ and new resistance
= R′
L′ = 120 L/100 = 6L/5 (since there is 20% increase)
The volume of the wire remains the same (given).
So, Volume of Original Wire = volume of new wire
 r 2 L =  r 2 L 
r 2 L = r 2 L
r 2 = r 2 L / Lr 2
= 5r 2 / 6

Options:
1
(a) B L2
2
(b) B L2

(d) 2B L2
Answer: (a)
Solution:
Consider an infinitesimally small length of rod at a distance x from the center of the circular
path.
The emf induced across this element d = Bv ( dx )
d = B ( x )( dx ) = Bwxdx

Question: A 5  5 matrix is to be formed having elements 0 or 1 such that in every row &
every column element ‘1’ occurs exactly once.
Answer: 120.00
Solution:
In first column, 1 can be placed in any of the 5 places = 5
In second column, 1 can be placed in any of the 4 places = 4
In third column, 1 can be placed in any of the 3 places = 3
In fourth column, 1 can be placed in any of the 2 places = 2
In fifth column, 1 can be placed in any of the 1 place = 1
Total = 120

Question: We have the following digits: 3, 5, 6, 7, 8. How many numbers more than 7000
can be formed using the digits once only.
Answer: 168.00
Solution:
Number using all the 5 digits = 5! = 120
Number using 4 digits
Case 1:
When 7 is fixed at 1000’s place
7 _ _ _ = 24 ways
Case II:
When 8 is fixed at 1000’s place
8 _ _ _ = 24 ways
Total number = 120 + 24 + 24 = 168



Answer: 4.00
Solution:
S = tan ( cos  ) + tan  ( sin  ) = 0

tan ( cos  ) = tan ( −  sin  )

 cos = n +  −  sin 
cos + sin  = n + 1
n = 0, sin  + cos = 1

Question: f ( x ) = x3 − f  (1) x 2 + f  ( 2 ) x + f  ( 3)

Options:
(a) f ( 0 ) = f (1) + f ( 2 )
(b) 2 f ( 0 ) = f (1) − f ( 3)
(c)
(d)
Answer: ()
Solution:
f ( x ) = x3 − f  (1) x 2 + f  ( 2 ) + f  ( 3)

Differentiate thrice & put x = 3

f  ( x ) = 3!

 f  ( 3) = 6!

Let f  (1) = a & f  ( 2 ) = b

f  ( x ) = 6 x − 2 f  (1)

x = 2  b + 2a = 12
f  ( x ) = 3x 2 − 2 f  (1) x + f  ( 2 )

x = 1  a = 3 − 2a + b
3a = 3 + b
a =3 & b=6

f ( x ) = x3 − 3x 2 + 6 x + 6
