Analytical Ability
1. What is better, to have 70% discount or 40 and 30% discount consequently?
A) 40% is better C) Both are same
B) 70% is better D) None
Answer: B
Explanation: Let Price be Tk.100 1st Case:
Then 100 70/100 = 70 price after discount = 100-70 = Tk.30
2nd Case: 100 40/100 = 40 price after discount = 100-40 = Tk.60
then 60 30/100 = 18 price after 2 consequent discount = 60-18 = Tk.42
from 1 and 2 cases, 70% discount is better.
2. The percentage discount offered for "Buy 6 get 1 free is" ?
A) 85.78 % B) 58. 48 %
C) 19.25 % D) 14.285 %
Answer: D

To know flow type we have to determine Reynolds number, which is a function of
viscosity of that fluid. Viscosity is not given.
3. If area of a square pipe and a circular pipe is same; flow density, velocity and
viscosity are also same then in which pipe Reynolds number will be larger?
Solution: We get, Reynolds number, Re = ; Since area, density, velocity and viscosity of
a square and circular pipe is same then Reynolds will vary only for hydraulic diameter = D.
Hydraulic diameter for square,
= = = =a

A= A=
As the hydraulic diameter for circular pipe (=2r) is greater than the hydraulic diameter
for square pipe (= 1.77248r) So Reynolds number for circular pipe will be greater.

1. Find i from the following circuit.
Solution:
If we convert Y network into ∆ network
comprising 5Ω, 10Ω and 20Ω resistors, we get
Ra = (R1R2 + R2R2 + R3R1) / R1
= (5×10+10×20+20×5)/5 = 70Ω
Rb = (R1R2 + R2R2 + R3R1) / R2
= (5×10+10×20+20×5)/10 = 35Ω
Rc = (R1R2 + R2R2 + R3R1) / R3
= (5×10+10×20+20×5)/20 = 17.5Ω

Solution:
Bus Parameters specified Parameters to be obtained
Load Bus P,Q |V| ,
Generator Bus P , |V| Q,
Slack Bus |V| , P,Q
Where, |V| = magnitude of Voltage, P = real power, Q = reactive power, = load angle
9. At the end of a power distribution system, a certain feeder supplies three
distribution transformers, each one supplying a group of customers whose
connected loads are as under:
Transformer Load Demand factor Diversity of groups

Transformer No. 1 10 kW 0·65 1·5

Transformer No. 2 12 kW 0·6 3·5
Transformer No. 3 15 kW 0·7 1·5
If the diversity factor among the transformers is 1·3, find the maximum load on the
feeder.
Solution:
Sum of maximum demand of customers on Transformer 1
= Connected load ×demand factor = 10 ×0.65 = 6.5 kW
As the diversity factor among consumers connected to transformer No. 1 is 1.5,
Maximum demand on Transformer 1 = 6.5 / 1.5 = 4.33 kW
Maximum demand on Transformer 2 = 12 ×0.6 / 3.5 = 2.057 kW
Maximum demand on Transformer 3 = 15 ×0.7 / 1.5 = 7 kW
As the diversity factor among transformers is 1.3,
Maximum demand on feeder = (4.33 + 2.057 + 7) / 1.3 = 10•3 kW (Ans)
10. A signal What should be the
minimum sampling frequency to successfully reconstruct the signal? If 4096 levels
are used to encode the sampled signalthen what will be the bit rate of the system?
Solution:
Minimum sampling frequency, =

11. A signal band limited to 3 kHz is sampled at a rate 33 % higher than the
Nyquest rate. The maximum acceptable error in the sample amplitude (the
maximum quantization error) is 0.5% of the peak amplitude . The quantized
samples are binary coded. Find the minimum bandwidth of a channel required to

transmit the encoded binary signal. If 24 such signals are time-division-multiplexed,

determine the minimum transmission bandwidth required transmit the multiplexed
signal.
Solution:

But ; or, ; or, ; ;

Where n is the number of bits per sample.
;
