The advantage of block diagram representation is that it is possible to
evaluate the contribution of each component to the overall
performance of the system.
• a) True
• b) False
• View Answer

• Answer: a
• Explanation: The advantage of the block diagram is that it is possible
to get the contribution of each block to the overall performance of
the system.

The overall transfer function from block diagram reduction for
cascaded blocks is :
• a) Sum of individual gain
• b) Product of individual gain
• c) Difference of individual gain
• d) Division of individual gain
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Gain of block get multiplied when they are cascaded where
cascaded means that the blocks are in series combination with no summer
in between.

• Transfer function of the system is defined as the ratio of Laplace
output to Laplace input considering initial conditions________
• a) 1
• b) 2
• c) 0
• d) infinite
• View Answer

• Answer: c
• Explanation: By definition transfer function is the ratio of the laplace
output to the input but the initial conditions mainly the stored energy
is zero.
• Answer: (c) forward path = 3, loops = 3, and non-touching loops = 0
• Explanation: Forward path is the path from the input to the output
node in the given signal flow graph. Here, there are three forward
paths.
• The number of loops in the given signal flow graph is three, as shown
in the below image:
4
• A node having only outgoing branches.
• a) Input node
• b) Output node
• c) Incoming node
• d) Outgoing node
• View Answer

• Answer: a
• Explanation: Nodes are the point by which the branches are outgoing
or ingoing and this can be input or output node and input node is the
node having only outgoing branches.
5
• . Loop which do not possess any common node are said to be
___________ loops.
• a) Forward gain
• b) Touching loops
• c) Non touching loops
• d) Feedback gain
• View Answer

• Answer: c
• Explanation: Loop is the part of the network in which the branch
starts from the node and comes back to the same node and non
touching loop must not have any node in common.

Signal flow graphs:
• a) They apply to linear systems
• b) The equation obtained may or may not be in the form of cause or
effect
• c) Arrows are not important in the graph
• d) They cannot be converted back to block diagram
• View Answer

• Answer: a
• Explanation: Signal flow graphs are used to find the transfer function
of control system by converting the block diagrams into signal flow
graphs or directly but cannot be used for nonlinear systems.
