The Palghat Gap (or Palakkad Gap), a region about 30 km wide in the southern part of the
Western Ghats in India, is lower than the hilly terrain to its north and south. The exact reasons
for the formation of this gap are not clear. It results in the neighbouring regions of Tamil
Nadu getting more rainfall from the South West monsoon and the neighbouring regions of
Kerala having higher summer temperatures.
What can be inferred from this passage?
(A) The Palghat gap is caused by high rainfall and high temperatures in southern Tamil Nadu
and Kerala
(B) The regions in Tamil Nadu and Kerala that are near the Palghat Gap are lowlying
(C) The low terrain of the Palghat Gap has a significant impact on weather patterns in
neighbouring parts of Tamil Nadu and Kerala
(D) Higher summer temperatures result in higher rainfall near the Palghat Gap area

For a periodic square wave, which one of the following statements is TRUE?
(A) The Fourier series coefficients do not exist
(B) The Fourier series coefficients exist but the reconstruction converges at no point
(C) The Fourier series coefficients exist and the reconstruction converges at most points.
(D) The Fourier series coefficients exist and the reconstruction converges at every point
Answer:
(C)
Exp: For a periodic square wave, fourier series coefficients value decreases as the k increases. At
some value of k coefficient becomes zero, thus no conveyance otherwise it converges at
most points.

230V, 50Hz input. The core loss is again measured to be 500W for 138V, 30Hz input. The
hysteresis and eddy current losses of the transformer for 230V, 50Hz input are respectively,
(A) 508 W and 542 W
(B) 468 W and 582 W
(C) 498 W and 552 W

A =10.167
B = 0.217
Wn at 50 Hz = (10.167 ) 50 = 508 W
We at 50 Hz = ( 0.217 ) ( 50 ) = 542 W

The dc current flowing in a circuit is measured by two ammeters, one PMMC and another
electrodynamometer type, connected in series. The PMMC meter contains 100 turns in the
coil, the flux density in the air gap is 0.2 Wb / m 2 , and the area of the coil is 80 mm 2 . The
electrodynamometer ammeter has a change in mutual inductance with respect to deflection of
0.5 mH/deg. The spring constants of both the meters are equal. The value of current, at which
the deflections of the two meters are same, is ________________
Answer: 3.2
Exp:
Given pmmc and electro dynamometer type meters are connectsed in series.
Both meters are carrying same current. And both are having same spring constants.
Both are reflecting same readings. i.e. we should equate the reflecting torques.
For pmmc, T def = BAN.I.
