61.   Assertion (A) : When a Varactor Diode is connected to an inductor L in a resonant circuit,
                      the resonant frequency varies linearly with voltage applied to the varactor.

      Reason (R) :     Because the PN junction used is an hyperabrupt PN junction.



62.   Assertion (A) : Laplace and Z transforms can be applied to the analysis of many unstable
                      systems and consequently play an important role in the investigation of the
                      stability or instability of the systems.

      Reason (R) :     The region of convergence of the Laplace transform of x(t) is given by the
                                      :
                                            2s t
                       expression :   ∫ x(t)e      dt /:
                                      2:




63.   Assertion (A) : A small signal amplifier is one where the input voltage is sufficiently small
                      and change in output current is only small fraction of the mean output
                      current.

      Reason (R) :     Several stages of small signal amplifiers are therefore coupled together in
                       cascade.



64.




      Assertion (A) : In the Fig. above, output in HIGH state, Q3 acts as an emitter follower with
                      its associated low output impedance. This low output impedance provides
                      a small time constant for charging up any capacitive load as the output.
                      This action is called active pull-up and it provides very fast rise time wave
                      forms at TTL Totem - pole output.

      Reason (R) :     Totem - pole outputs cannot be wire ANDed i.e. outputs of a number of
                       gates cannot be tied together to obtain AND operation of those outputs.

65.   Assertion (A) : The data bus of a microprocessor is used to transfer information between
                      the mp and memory, between the mp and I/O device.
      Reason (R) :      The data bus of a microprocessor is unidirectional.


66.   Assertion (A) : Unless we call initgraph( ), we cannot draw anything on the screen.
      Reason (R) :      Any shape drawn on the screen can be animated using the getimage( ) and
                        putimage( ) functions.


67.   Assertion (A) : Circular polarisation is a special case of elliptical polarisation.
      Reason (R) :      In elliptical polarisation, the wave has two components, one is traversing in
                        x direction and other traverses in y direction. Which causes the Electric
                        Vector to rotate as a function of time.


68.   Assertion (A) : As compared to PWM, PAM and PPM, PCM is much better for noise
                      immunity.
      Reason (R) :      PCM depends only on the presence or absence of pulses at any given time,
                        not on any characteristics of the pulses which could be distorted.


69.   Assertion (A) : Light is electromagnetic wave in nature, these may be x - rays, radio waves,
                      microwaves etc.
      Reason (R) :      The amount of energy depends on the intensity of the light rays. The energy
                        associated with each photon is proportional to the frequency.


70.   Assertion (A) : The dynamics of a system can be represented by a series of first order
                      differential equations.
      Reason (R) :      The state variables describe the future response of a system, given the present
                        state, the excitation inputs, and the equations describing the dynamics.


      Directions for question numbers 71 to 75 : Read the passage and answer the questions
      from 71 to 75 that follow based on your understanding of passage :
            A microprocessor is a semiconductor chip fabricated with entire central processing
      unit (CPU) on it. It is a programmable device that accepts binary data from an input device,
      processes the data according to the instructions stored in the memory and provides results as
      output. Basically microprocessor performs two functions - (a) Fetches an instruction from
      the memory and (b) Performs the operation specified by the instruction. There are special
      inputs to the microprocessor called interrupts. External devices use these interrupts to get
      the microprocessor attention. A micro computer can be built by using 8085 microprocessor
      along with many other chips such as 8155, 8255, 8279, 8253, 8257, 8259, 8251 etc. 8085
      microprocessor is 8 - bit microprocessor which has 8 - bit data registers where as 8086 is a
