Q5. Consider the oscillator circuit shown in the figure. The function of the network (shown in dotted lines) consisting of the 100kΩ resistor in series with the two diodes connected back-toback is to:

Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

When the output voltage is positive the diode D1 is turned on making 100kΩ resistor to become parallel to 22.1kΩ. So the gain is reduced. When the output voltage becomes negative the diode D2 is turned on thereby again 100kΩ resistor to become parallel to 22.1kΩ. So the gain is reduced. With the use of diodes, the non ideal OP-Amp is made stable to produce steady

Q9. A person moving through a tuberculosis prone zone has a 50% probability of becoming infected. However, only 30% of infected people develop the disease. What percentage of people moving through a tuberculosis prone zone remains infected but does not show symptoms of disease?
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:


P(a person infected but does not show symptoms) = 0.50 × 0.70 = 0.35 
The percentage is 35%
