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.
