Consider a circuit shown in figure. The circuit functions as

(A) D-flip-flop
(B) T-flip-flop
(C) Output remains stable at '1'
(D) Output remains stable at '0' ]
SOL 1.30

Option (B) is correct.


From the combinational logic
Let D is input, Qn is present state, Qn + 1 is next state, then
R = D 5 Q, S = D 5 Q
Characteristic equation of R-S flip-flop is given by
Qn + 1 = S + RQn
So,
Qn + 1 = (D + Qn) + (D 5 Qn) Qn
= (D 5 Qn) + (D 5 Qn) Qn
= (D 5 Qn) (1 5 Qn) = (D 5 Qn) = DQ n + DQn
For D = 0 , Qn + 1 = Qn
D = 1, Qn + 1 = Qn
So, the circuit function as a T-flip flop.

(A) 0

(B) 9

(C) 3

(D) 6

Chapter 1

SOL 1.61

Correct option is (C)


When we divide N by 12, the reminder for the expression will be the same as the
reminder for 5 # 7 # 9 . Now 35 # 9 , when divided by 12, we get the reminder
11 # 9 = 99 .Finally divided it by 12, we get the reminder of N as 3.

MCQ 1.62

There are 60 students in a class. These students are divided into three groups A, B
, and C of 15, 20 and 25 students each. The groups A and C are combined to form
group D . What is the average weight of the students in group D ?
(A) more than the average weight of A
(B) more than the average weight of C
(C) less than the average weight of C
(D) cannot be determined

SOL 1.62

Correct option is (D)


There is no indication of weights of the students in the question i.e. groups A, B
and C . Therefore it is not possible to find the relation between the groups A, B ,
C and D .

MCQ 1.63

Four cities are connected by a road network as shown in the figure. In how many
ways can you start from any city and come back to it without travelling on the
same road more than once ?

(A) 8

(B) 12

(C) 16

(D) 20

SOL 1.63

Correct option is (B)


Consider a man starts from a city. The condition is that there is no repetition of
path during his journey. So two paths are restrict for one pass only. Thus the total
number of possible cases
= 4P2 = 12

MCQ 1.64

The roots of the equation ax2 + 3x + 6 = 0 will be reciprocal to each other if the
value of a is
(A) 3
(B) 4
(C) 5

(D) 6

Page 22

Practice Paper EE_B

Chapter 1

SOL 1.64

Correct option is (D)


We have
ax2 + 3x + 6 = 0
The roots of this quadratic equation is
x = 3 ! 9 24a
2a
It is given that the roots are reciprocal to each other. Thus
2a
3 + 9 24a =
2a
3 9 24a
or
4a2 = ] 3g2 ]9 24a g
or
a = 0, 6
But zero is not a possible root because the reciprocal of zero becomes infinity. Thus
the correct root is 6.

MCQ 1.65

east then one km north, then one km east and then one km north to arrive at the
destination. What is the shortest distance from the starting point to the destination
?
(B) 7 km
(A) 2 2 km
(D) 5 km

(C) 3 2 km

Resolution
`n=4
Rs = 1/10n
= 1/10 4 = 0.001
Resolution on 1 V range = 1 V # 0.0001 = 0.0001
So, any reading up to the 4th decimal can be displayed. Thus 0.6973 will be
displayed as 0.6973.
Resolution on 10 V range = 10 V # 0.0001 = 0.001 V
So, decimals up to the 3rd decimal place can be displayed. Therefore on a 10 V
range, the reading will be 0.697 instead of 0.6973.

(A) 72
(B) 78
(C) 96

(D) 102

SOL 1.63

Correct option is (B).


We know that the problem involves only simple arithmetic, because the rings occur
in an hourly pattern. You could set up a chart if that helps you see whats going
on, or just take each part at a time by finding the number of rings at each interval
of time and then adding up the total rings at each interval. The total rings on the
hour = ^1 + 8h + ^2 + 8h + ^3 + 8h + ^4 + 8h = 9 + 10 + 11 + 12 = 42 . The clock rings
twice at a quarter past and it does this 3 times, so the total rings at a quarter past
= 2 ]3g = 6 . Likewise, the number of rings at half past = 4 ]3g = 12 and the number
of rings at three-quarters past = 6 ]3g = 18 . Adding up, 42 + 6 + 12 + 18 = 78

In an increasing sequence of 10 consecutive integers, the sum of the first 5 integers


is 660. What is the sum of the last 5 integers in the sequence ?
(A) 578
(B) 624
(C) 665

(D) 685

SOL 1.64

Correct option is (D).


Let the first 5 consecutive integers be represented by x , x + 1, x + 2 , x + 3 and x + 4.
Then, since the sum of the integers is 660 , x + ^x + 1h + ^x + 2h + ^x + 3h + ^x + 4h
= 660 . Thus,
5x + 10 = 660
solve for x
5x = 650
x = 130
The first integer in the sequence is 130, so the next integers are 131, 132
, 133 and 134. From this, the last 5 integers in the sequence, and thus their
sum, can be determined. The sum of the 6 th , 7 th , 8 th , 9 th and 10 th integers is,
135 + 136 + 137 + 138 + 139 = 685
This problem can also be solved without algebra: The sum of the last 5 integers
