Q1. The block diagram of a system with one input it and two outputs y1 and y2 is given below
A state space model of the above system in terms of the state vector  and the output vector  is.
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:


Drawing SFG as shown below



Q2. Two systems H1(Z) and H2(Z) are connected in cascade as shown below. The overall output y(n) is the same as the input x(n) with a one unit delay. The transfer function of the second system H2(Z)is

Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:



Q3. The input-output transfer function of a plant  The plant is placed in a unity negative feedback configuration as shown in the figure below. 
The gain margin of the system under closed loop unity negative feedback is

Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:




Q4. The input-output transfer function of a plant  The plant is placed in a unity negative feedback configuration as shown in the figure below. 
The signal flow graph that DOES NOT model the plant transfer function H(S) is

Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:



Q5. The solution of the differential equation  is
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:


lny = kx + A
Since y(0) = c thus lnc = A
lny = kx + lnc
Iny = Inekx + Inc
y = cekx


Q6. The differential equation 100  describes a system with an in put x (t) and an output y(t). The system, which is initially relaxed, is excited by a unit step input. The output y(t) can be represented by the waveform
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

100 
Applying Laplace transform we get


Roots are s = 1/10, 1/10 which lie on Right side of s plane thus unstable

Q7. The trigonometric Fourier series of an even function does not have the
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

For an even function Fourier series contains dc term and cosine term (even and odd harmonics).

Q8. The value of the integral where c is the circle |z| = 1 is given by
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

C R Integrals is  where C is circle |z| = 1
So poles are outside the unit circle. 

Q9. If   then the initial and final values of f(t) are respectively
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q10. A numerical solution of the equation  can be obtained using Newton- Raphson method. If the starting value is x = 2 for the iteration, the value of x that is to be used in the next step is
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:


Substituting x0 = 2 we get

Newton Raphson Method

Substituting all values we have
