Answers

1. (a) 28 = 256 (without edges)

2. (c)

3. (a) 

Resonant frequency
{f_r} = \frac{1}{{2\pi \sqrt {LC} }} = \frac{1}{{2x3.14\sqrt {20x{{10}^{ - 3}}x5x{{10}^{ - 6}}} }} = 0.50kHz
Quality factor
Q = \frac{1}{R}\sqrt {\frac{L}{C}} = \frac{1}{{10x{{10}^3}}}\sqrt {\frac{{20x{{10}^{ - 3}}}}{{5x{{10}^{ - 6}}}}} = 0.632x{10^{ - 2}}
Bandwidth
BW = \frac{{{f_r}}}{Q} = \frac{{0.50}}{{0.632x{{10}^{ - 2}}}} = 80kHz

4. (d) 
See the following figure


Here 
{h_{12}} = {\left. {\frac{{{V_1}}}{{{V_2}}}} \right|_{{I_1} = 0}} = \frac{{{R_B}}}{{{R_B} + {R_C}}} and
{h_{22}} = {\left. {\frac{{{I_2}}}{{{V_2}}}} \right|_{{I_1} = 0}} = \frac{1}{{{R_B} + {R_C}}}

Hence 
{h_{22}} = \frac{1}{{{R_B} + {R_C}}} = \frac{1}{{20 + 0}} = 0.05

5. (a) Mmax = √L1L2 = √6 x 6 = 6 mH

6. (b) 

tr = ln 9/a = 2.2/12 = 0.18
ts = 3.91/a = 3.91/12 = 0.33

7. (d) 

{e_{ramp}}(\infty ) = \frac{{15}}{{(10x20x30)/(25x35)}} = 2.1875

8. (c)
Characteristic equation: s3 + 3s2 + 2s + k = 0
By applying the Routh tabulation method,

For the system to become stable, the sign changes in the first column of the Routh table must be zero.
6 - K > 0 and K > 0
0 < K < 6

9. (a)

10. (b) Use mason’s gain formula to solve the signal flow graph and by using mason’s gain formula transfer function from the signal flow graph can be calculated which relates the forward path gain to the various paths and loops.

Meaning of AeSI withdrawing case from Delhi High Court and its implications for IEI

Image
There is breaking news - AeSI withdraws case from Delhi High Court on 27-05-2022. Does it mean that Aeronautical Society of India (AeSI)  is no more interested in conducting Section A and B exams and will only give membership? At first glance, it looks so. Fortunately, this conclusion is not true. To understand this let us go back to the past, just nine months back.  But first, let us understand what the problem is. The MHRD - AICTE in 2013 (and beyond), derecognised the equivalence criteria between engineering professional bodies (IEI, AeSI, IETE, IME, ICE and more such professional bodies) - Section A and Section B passed candidates, with that of B. Tech degree from an Indian University. In 2018, fresh admission was on hold as per the order given by Delhi High Court. Now, back to our story, AeSI came up with a better plan -  AeSI signed an MoU with Hindustan Institute of Technology & Science, Chennai (HITS)  in 2021. According to this MoU, students of Aeronautical Society who

AMIE aspirants are at crossroads—whether to continue/discontinue AMIE in the present scenario?

Image
  A lot of AMIE aspirants are at cross roads—whether to continue/discontinue AMIE in present scenario when fresh AMIE admissions and re-registration are suspended till further orders. The case is being fought in Delhi High Court and nobody knows the outcome. The social media is full of rumours which are void of substance. Under such a backdrop, a million-pound question is—should an AMIE aspirant, who is eligible to continue his AMIE, should stop or appear in whatever semesters left. Remember, stopping doing AMIE now may lead to loss of money and your hard core efforts. AMIE is still the cheapest option with so many advantages . You might have to spend many times more money joining AMIE in new protocol and with number of subjects almost double and practicals as many as 40! In our opinion, they must continue with it and try to finish their AMIE at the earliest. There is no harm in doing so as it is the lowest cost option for working aspirants. It would work as a fixed deposit—will benef
