SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans. (a)
Sol. The leading power factor in an AC electric circuit is obtained by Capacitive Load. So, when a capacitor is connected in parallel with the load then capacitor produces reactive KVA into the circuit and reduces the power factor angle. Hence, power factor will be improved.
S2. Ans.(b)
Sol. Topology is the way of physical or logical arrangement of each and every node in the network with the help of links. Based on the requirement of application of the network topology are chosen. These are – Ring, Star, Bus, Mesh, Tree and hybrid topology.
S3. Ans.(d)
S4. Ans.(a)
Sol. Digital modulation is less prone to noise interference as compared to analog modulation. So, satellite communication system uses this technique.
S5. Ans.(b)
S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. In computer networks, the data which is obtained in the form of segments from transport layer is converted to packets in the network layer. These packets are then sent to data link layer where it is converted into frames.
S7. Ans (c)
Sol. VHF waves can travel long distances by tropospheric ducting due to refraction by temperature gradients in the atmosphere.
S8. Ans.(d)
Sol. 4K = 2^2 × 2^10 = 2^12 Bytes
We know that,
⇒ memory size = 2^n × m
where,
n is number of address lines
m is number of data lines
⇒ 4K memory = 2^12 × 8 bits
Hence, 12 bits are needed for address and 8 bits for data lines.
S9. Ans (b)
Sol. Converting 10.7510 in Binary system here so:
The Whole part(i.e., left side of decimal) of a number is obtained by dividing:
Binary representation of 1010 = 10102
The fractional part of number is found by multiplying on the basis new
Binary Representation of 0.7510 = 0.112
Add up both whole and fractional part, we get:
10102 + 0.112 =1010.112
Therefore, 10.7510 = 1010.112
S10. Ans.(b)
Sol. Fourier Series is –
f(t) = a_o + ∑_(n=1)^∞▒( a_ncosω_ot + b_nsinω_ot)
