While trying to collect an envelope
I
from under the table,
II
Mr. X fell down and
III
was losing consciousness.
IV
Which one of the above underlined parts of the sentence is NOT appropriate?Correct answer
(D) IV
Turn this into a strength.Explore AI-powered practice and doubt support with Success Tracker.Step-by-step solution
The sentence describes a sequence of events in the past. The main actions are "fell down" and "lost consciousness". Since "fell down" is in the simple past, the subsequent action should also be in the simple past to indicate a completed action following the fall. Therefore, "was losing consciousness" (past continuous) is inappropriate and should be replaced with "lost consciousness" (simple past).2

(iii) Stars are important objects in the universe
(iv) Experimental evidence was important in confirming this paradigm shiftCorrect answer
(D) (iv) only
Turn this into a strength.Explore AI-powered practice and doubt support with Success Tracker.Step-by-step solution
The passage states that 'clinching evidence was provided by experimental measurements', which directly supports inference (iv). Inference (i) is a broad generalization not supported by the specific instance mentioned. Inference (ii) is a coincidence in this case and not a general rule. Inference (iii) is a general statement not discussed as a primary point in the passage. Thus, only (iv) is a valid inference.8

In a synchronous machine, hunting is predominantly damped byCorrect answer
(D) copper losses in the rotor
Turn this into a strength.Explore AI-powered practice and doubt support with Success Tracker.Step-by-step solution
Hunting in a synchronous machine is the oscillation of the rotor about its equilibrium position due to sudden changes in load. To damp these oscillations, damper windings (short-circuited copper bars) are placed in the pole faces of the rotor. When hunting occurs, the relative motion between the rotor and the rotating magnetic field induces currents in these damper windings. These currents produce a damping torque that opposes the oscillations. The energy of the oscillations is dissipated as heat in the damper windings, which are part of the rotor circuit. Thus, hunting is predominantly damped by copper losses in the rotor.22

(C) [figure]
Turn this into a strength.Explore AI-powered practice and doubt support with Success Tracker.Step-by-step solution
In a single-phase induction motor, the auxiliary winding with a capacitor is used to provide starting torque. A centrifugal switch is typically used to disconnect this auxiliary winding once the motor reaches approximately to of its synchronous speed (). If the centrifugal switch fails to operate and remains closed, the auxiliary winding and capacitor stay in the circuit for all speeds. Consequently, the motor will follow the combined (starting) characteristic curve throughout its entire speed range, without the transition (jump) to the main-winding-only curve that normally occurs at . Looking at the options:- Curves (A) and (B) show a transition at , which would only happen if the switch functioned correctly.
- Curves (C) and (D) show a single continuous curve.
- Curve (C) correctly represents the high starting torque characteristic of a capacitor-start motor.
- Curve (D) represents a characteristic with low starting torque, which is not typical for a motor with a starting capacitor.

A single-input single-output feedback system has forward transfer function and feedback transfer function . It is given that . Which of the following is true about the stability of the system?Correct answer
(A) The system is always stable
Turn this into a strength.Explore AI-powered practice and doubt support with Success Tracker.Step-by-step solution
The characteristic equation of the feedback system is given by . For the system to be stable, all roots of this equation (closed-loop poles) must lie in the left half of the -plane. Given the condition for all in the right half plane (including the axis):1.The term can never be zero in the right half plane because is strictly less than 1, so can never equal . This implies there are no closed-loop poles in the right half plane.2.Furthermore, the condition implies that the open-loop transfer function cannot have any poles in the right half plane, as the magnitude would be infinite at a pole.Since there are no open-loop poles in the right half plane and no closed-loop poles in the right half plane, the system is always stable. Thus, option (A) is correct.29
