(B) I write my experience in my personnel diary.
(C) All personnel are being given the day off.
(D) Being religious is a personnel aspect.

In options (A), (B), (D), personnel is used in wrong way. Here, according to
sentences, personal should be used. The difference in the meaning between two
words are
Personal: particular to a given individual
Personnel: group of people willing to obey orders
Hence, the statement given in option (C) is correct.

Based on the given statements, select the most appropriate option to solve the
given question.
What will be the total weight of 10 poles each of same weight?
Statements:
(I) One fourth of the weight of a pole is 5 kg.
(II) The total weight of these poles is 160 kg more than the total weight of two
poles.

(A) Statement I alone is not sufficient

(B) Statement II alone is not sufficient
(C) Either I or II alone is sufficient
(D) Both statements I and II together are not sufficient.
Sol. 3

The given problem requires the total weight of 10 poles, each of same weight. We
check the given statements for evaluation of the total weight.
Statement I
Given that one forth of weight of a pole is 5 kg.
Let
weight of a pole = x kg
x =5
So,
4
x = 20 kg
in
.
co
total weight of 10 poles = 10x

= 200 kg
Statement II
The total weight of 10 poles is 160 kg more than the total weight of two poles.
Let
weight of a pole = x kg
So,
Therefore,
10x = 2x + 160
Hence,

x = 20 kg
Hence,

Q. 4
Consider a function f ^x h = 1 - x on - 1 < x < 1. The value of x at which the

function attains a maximum, and the maximum value of function are
(A) 0, - 1
(B) - 1, 0
(C) 0, 1
(D) - 1, 2
Sol. 4

Given
f ^x h = 1 - x
-1 # x # 1
Since,
x > 0 , for all x
So, x can take minimum value of 0 and maximum value of 1. Also, on increasing
value of x , value of f ^x h decreases. At x = 0 , we obtain
f ^x h = 1 - x
= 1-0 = 1
Again, at x = 1, we obtain
f ^x h = 1 - x
(function has maximum value)
(function has minimum value)

= 1-1 = 0
Thus, at x = 0 value of f ^x h is maximum and at x = 1 value of f ^x h is minimum.
Q. 5

We ______ our friends birthday and we ______ how to make it up to him.

(A) completely forgot _____ dont just know
(B) forget completely _____ dont just know
(C) completely forget _____ just dont know
(D) forgot completely _____ just dont know
Sol. 5

In first blank, adverb should be used before the verb, i.e.
completely forgot
Again, in second blank, adverb should be used before the verb. We must note that
adverb is not being used in between the auxiliary verb, i.e.
just dont know
Thus, the complete sentence is
We completely forgot our friends birthday and we just dont know how to make
it up to him.

If p, q, r, s are distinct integers such that:

f ^p, q, r, s h = max ^p, q, r, s h
g ^p, q, r, s h = min ^p, q, r, s h
^p # q h
if ^p # q h > ^r # s h
h ^p, q, r, s h = remainder of

or remainder of

^p # q h
Also, a function
fgh ^p, q, r, s h = f ^p, q, r, s h # g ^p, q, r, s h # h ^p, q, r, s h

Also the same operations are valid with two variable function of the form f ^p, q h
. What is the value of fg ^h ^2, 5, 7, 3h, 4, 6, 8h ?
Sol. 8
Correct answer is 8.
Here, we have to determine the value of fg ^h ^2, 5, 7, 3h, 4, 6, 8h.
^p # q h
Given
if ^p # q h > ^r # s h
h ^p, q, r, s h = remainder of
^r # s h
^r # s h
or remainder of
if ^r # s h > ^p # q h
^p # q h
So, we obtain
(since ^7 # 3h > ^2 # 5h)
h ^2, 5, 7, 3h remainder b 7 # 3 l

Therefore, we get

f ^p, q, r, s h = max ^p, q, r, s h
g ^p, q, r, s h = min ^p, q, r, s h
So, we obtain
fg ^1, 4, 6, 8h = f ^1, 4, 6, 8h # g ^1, 4, 6, 8h

= max ^1, 4, 6, 8h # min ^1, 4, 6, 8h

Hence, the value of desired function is
fg ^h ^2, 5, 7, 3h, 4, 6, 8h = fg ^1, 4, 6, 8h = 8

If the list of letters P, R, S, T, U is an arithmetic sequence, which of the following

are also in arithmetic sequence?

(II) P - 3, R - 3, S - 3, T - 3, U - 3
(III) P2, R2, S2, T2, U2
(A) I only
(B) I and II
(C) II and III
(D) I and III

Here, P, R, S, T, U are in A.P. So, the difference between two consecutive numbers
will be equal, i.e.
d = R-P = S-R = T-S = U-T
2015-2
where d is common difference for the given A.P. Now, we check the given sequences
Sequence I
2P , 2R , 2S , 2T , 2U
The differences between two consecutive numbers are obtained as
D = 2R - 2P = 2 ^R - P h = 2d
D = 2S - 2R = 2 ^S - Rh = 2d
D = 2T - 2S = 2 ^T - S h = 2d
Since, the differences are same in each case, so it is in A.P.
Sequence II
P - 3, R - 3. S - 3, T - 3, V - 3
D = ^R - 3h - ^P - 3h
= R-P-3+3 = R-P = d
D = ^S - 3h - ^R - 3h
= S-R-3+3 = S-R = d
Again, the differences are same in each case, so it is in A.P.

In this case, the differences are not same, so it is not in A.P.
Thus, sequences I and II will be in A.P.

infinite bus via two short, lossless transmission lines, and is initially in steady
state. The mechanical power input to the generator and the voltage magnitude
E are constant. If one line is tripped at time t1 by opening the circuit breakers at

(C) If f ^z h is continuous at z 0 , then it is differential at z 0 .
(D) If f ^z h is differentiable at z 0 , then so are its real and imaginary parts.

Given
Let
f ^z h = g ^z h + h ^z h
g ^z h = gu ^z h + jgv ^z h
and
h ^z h = hu ^z h + jhv ^z h
If g and h are differentiable, then it will satisfy L-R equation. So, we have
gux = gvy , guy =- gvx
and
hux = hvy , huy =- hvx
Therefore,
f ^z h = _gu ^z h + hu ^z hi + j _gv ^z h + hv ^z hi
By observing the above equations, we get
...(1)
^gux + hux h = ^gvy + hvy h

^guy + huy h =-^gvx + hvx h
Hence, from equations (1) and (2), f ^z h is differentiable (because it satisfies L-R

Given that 3-phase transformer 33/11 kV is connected in delta-star connection.
Since, fault is in star connected side, so all the current flow through fault and no
current will pass through circuit of secondary side, i.e.
i2 = 0
By using transformer equation, we have
Primary kVA = Secondary kVA

Initially P1 and P2 are chosen in such a way that

0.2P1 + 50 = 76
P1 = 130 MW
0.24P2 + 40 = 68.8
P2 = 120 MW
So,
Total demand = 120 + 130 = 250 MW
If generation cost is rescheduled to minimize the total cost, then incremental
production cost should be equal, i.e.
0.2P1 + 50 = 0.24P2 + 40
0.2 ^250 - P2h + 50 = 0.24P2 + 40
P2 = 136.36 MW
