TECHNICAL PAPER-40 QUESTION, 45- MINUTES 

(1)in a ckt. We r giving voltage of 50 Hz as well as 60. then what will be 
the resultant frequency. 
(a)less than 50 (b)more than 60(c)in between 50 & 60 
(d)none..........according to our conclusion answer will be none because if 
we apply two frequency component resultatnt frequency we can not say with 
such an ease.U should confirm the answer 

2.In a ckt a single resistor is connected across a d.c. source, what will be 
the effect on current in first resistor if we connect one more resistance in 
parallel with earlier one.... 
Answer.. no change since it is a parallel combination.

conductor in its outer layer....(a)36 (b)18 (c)24.......Also read some more

5.Two questions based on p.u. calculation like , p.u. calculation is given 
with respect to some old base and u have to calculate it with reference to 
new base. 
(new resistance/old)=(mva new /mva old)*(old voltage/new voltage)2. 
Other question is based upon transfer of p.u calculation in transformer i.e. 
how base changes when we we move from primary to secondary or like wise.read 
some more on p.u calculation.

excitation is removed, then
