65. The horse has played a little known but very important role in the field of
medicine. Horses were injected with toxins of diseases until their blood built up
immunities. Then a serum was made from their blood. Serums to fight with
diphtheria and tetanus were developed this way.
It can be inferred from the passage that horses were
(A) given immunity to diseases (B) generally quite immune to diseases
(C) given medicines to fight toxins (D) given diphtheria and tetanus serums
Answer: - (B)
Exp: - From the passage it cannot be inferred that horses are given immunity as in (A),
since the aim is to develop medicine and in turn immunize humans. (B) is correct
since it is given that horses develop immunity after some time. Refer “until their
blood built up immunities”. Even (C) is invalid since medicine is not built till
immunity is developed in the horses. (D) is incorrect since specific examples are
cited to illustrate and this cannot capture the essence.

on Thursday was 15% higher than that of Monday, then the temperature in ºC on
Thursday was
(A) 40 (B) 43 (C) 46 (D) 49
Answer: (C)
Explanations:- Let the temperature of Monday be TM
Sum of temperatures of Tuesday and Wednesday = T and
Temperature of Thursday =TTh
Now, Tm + T = 41 × 3 = 123
& Tth + T = 43 × 3 = 129
∴ TTh − Tm = 6, Also TTh = 1.15Tm
∴0.15Tm = 6 ⇒ Tm = 40
∴ Temperature of thursday = 40 + 6 = 46O C

13. A three-phase, 4pole, self excited induction generator is feeding power to a load at a
frequency f1. If the load is partially removed, the frequency becomes f2. If the speed of the
generator is maintained at 1500 rpm in both the cases, then
(A) f1 f 2 > 50 Hz and f1 > f 2 (B) f1 < 50 Hz and f 2 > 50Hz
(C) f1 f 2 < 50 Hz and f 2 > f 2 (D) f1 > 50 Hz and f 2 < 50Hz
Answer: (C)

14. A single phase induction motor draws 12 MW power at 0.6 lagging power. A capacitor is
connected in parallel to the motor to improve the power factor of the combination of motor
and capacitor to 0.8 lagging. Assuming that the real and reactive power drawn by the motor
remains same as before, the reactive power delivered by the capacitor in MVAR is
____________.
Answer: 7MVAR
Exp: Given, 1 − φ Induction motor draws 12mW at 0.6pf, lag
Let P1 =12mW
cos φ1 = 0.6 pf
To improve pf, cos φ2 = 0.8
( Qc ) del by capacitor = ?
P1 12 ×106
cos φ1 = ⇒ S1 =
S1 0.6
⇒ S1 = 20 MVA
4 Reactive power, Q1 = S12 − P12 =16 MVAR

When capacitor is connected then
P1
cos φ2 = (∵ Re al power drawn is same )
S2
12 ×106
0.8 =
S2
S2 =15MVA
∴ Re active power ,Q 2 = S22 − P12 = 9MVAR

But motor should draw the same reactive power.
∴ ( Qc )del by capacitor = 16 − 9 = 7 MVAR

41. There are two generators in a power system. No-load frequencies of the generators are 51.5
Hz and 51Hz, respectively, and both are having droop constant of 1 Hz/MW. Total load in the
system is 2.5 MW. Assuming that the generators are operating under their respective droop
characteristics, the frequency of the power system in Hz in the steady state is __________.
Answer: 50
Exp: Given, two generators in a power system has no load frequency of 51.5 & 51 Hz.
∴ drop constant=1Hz/mW
Total load=2.5 mW
for generator '1', f = − x1 + 51.5
generator '2 ' f = − x 2 + 51
∴ − x1 + 51.5 = − x 2 + 51
⇒ x1 − x 2 = 0.5 ...(1)
Total load ⇒ x1 + x 2 = 2.5 ...(2)

By solving (1) & (2) ⇒ x1 = = 1.5

∴ f = −1.5 + 51.5 = 50 Hz

Analysis:
If you will observe the combinational circuit output expression which is the input for T flip
flop is not matching directly, so you should go through the option. If you will solve the
combinational circuit of option (B) then
(
T = ( J + Qn ) . K + Q n )
= J.K + JQ n + K.Q n + Q n Q n = J.K + JQ n + K.Q n + 0 ∵ Q n .Q n = 0 ( )
= J.K + J Q n + K.Q n
Now, according to consensus theorem J-K will become redundant term, so it should be
eliminated.
Hence, T = JQ n + K.Q n , which in matching with our desired result and option-(B) is correct
answer.

6. An air pressure contour line joins locations in a region having the same atmospheric pressure.
The following is an air pressure contour plot of a geographical region. Contour lines are shown
at 0.05 bar intervals in this plot.
If the possibility of a thunderstorm is given by how fast air pressure rises or drops over a region,
which of the following regions is most likely to have a thunderstorm?
(A) P (B) Q (C) R (D) S
Key: (C)
Exp:
Region Air pressure
difference
P 0.95 – 0.90 = 0.05
Q 0.80 – 0.75 = 0.05
R 0.85 – 0.65 = 0.20
S 0.95 – 0.90 = 0.05
In general thunder storms are occurred in a region where suddenly air pressure changes (i.e.,)
should rise (or) sudden fall of air pressure. From the given contour map in „R‟ region only
more changes in air pressure. So, the possibility of a thunder storms in this region.
So option (C) is correct.
7. There are three boxes. One contains apples, another contains oranges and the last one contains
both apples and oranges. All three are known to be incorrectly labelled. If you are permitted to
open just one box and then pull out and inspect only one fruit, which box would you open to
determine the contents of all three boxes?
(A) The box labelled „Apples‟ (B) The box labelled „Apples and Oranges‟
(C) The box labelled „Oranges‟ (D) Cannot be determined
Key: (B)
Exp: The person who is opening the boxes, he knew that all 3 are marked wrong.
Suppose if 3 boxes are labelled as below.
(1) Apples (2) Oranges (3) Apples & Oranges

26
If he inspected from Box(1), picked one fruit, found orange, then he don‟t know whether box
contains oranges (or) both apples and oranges.
Similarly, if he picked one fruit from box(2), found apple then he don‟t know whether box
contain apples (or) both apples and oranges.
But if he picked one fruit from box(3), i.e., labelled is “apples and oranges‟, if he found apple
then he can decide compulsorily that box(3) contains apples and as he knew all boxes are
labelled as incorrect, he can tell box(2) contains both apples and oranges, box(1) contain
remaining oranges. So, he should open box labelled „Apples and Oranges‟ to determine
contents of all the three boxes.

4. A single 50 Hz synchronous generator on droop control was delivering 100 MW power to a system. Due
to increase in load, generator power had to be increased by 10MW, as a result of which, system
frequency dropped to 49.75 Hz. Further increase in load in the system resulted in frequency of 49.25 Hz.
At this condition, the power in MW supplied by the generator is ____________ (rounded off to 2
