At room temperature, a possible value for the mobility of electrons in the inversion
layer of a silicon n -channel MOSFET is
(B) 1350 cm2 / V-s
(A) 450 cm2 / V-s
(C) 1800 cm2 / V-s

(D) 3600 cm2 / V-s

SOL 1.6

At room temperature mobility of electrons for Si sample is given n = 1350 cm2 /Vs.
For an n -channel MOSFET to create an inversion layer of electrons, a large positive
gate voltage is to be applied. Therefore, induced electric field increases and mobility
decreases.

Statement for linked Answer Question : 54 & 55 :


Consider a baseband binary PAM receiver shown below. The additive channel noise
n (t) is with power spectral density Sn (f ) = N 0 /2 = 1020 W/Hz . The low-pass filter
is ideal with unity gain and cut-off frequency 1 MHz. Let Yk represent the random
variable y (tk ).
Yk = Nk , if transmitted bit bk = 0
Yk = a + Nk if transmitted bit bk = 1
Where Nk represents the noise sample value. The noise sample has a probability
density function, PNk (n) = 0.5e n (This has mean zero and variance 2/ 2 ).
Assume transmitted bits to be equiprobable and threshold z is set to a/2 = 106 V .

MCQ 1.60

25 persons are in a room, 15 of them play hockey, 17 of them football and 10 of


them play both hockey and football. Then the number of persons playing neither
hockey nor football is ;
(A) 2
(B) 17

(D) 3

Hence (D) is correct option.


Number of people who play hockey
n (A) = 15
Number of people who play football
n (B) = 17
Persons who play both hockey and football
n (A + B) = 10
Persons who play either hockey or football or both :
n (A , B) = n (A) + n (B) n (A + B)
= 15 + 17 10 = 22
Thus people who play neither hockey nor football = 25 22 = 3

MCQ 1.63

5 skilled workers can build a wall in 20 days; 8 semi-killed worker can build a wall
in 25 days; 10 unskilled workers can build a wall in 30 days. If a team has 2 killed,
6 semi-killed and 5 unskilled workers, how long will it take to build the wall
(A) 20 days
(B) 18 days
(C) 16 days

SOL 1.63

(D) 15 days

Hence (D) is correct option.


Let W be the total work.
=W
20
Per day work of one skill worker
= W =W
5 # 20 100
Similarly per day work of 1 semi-skilled workers
= W = W
8 # 25 200
Similarly per day work of one semi-skill worker = W
= W
10 # 30 300
Per day work of 5 skilled workers

Thus total per day work of 2 skilled, 6 semi-skilled and 5 unskilled workers is
= 2W + 6W + 5W = 12W + 18W + 10W = W
100 200 300

SOL 1.64

(D) 54

As the number must be greater than 3000, it must be start with 3 or 4. Thus we
have two case:
Case (1) If left most digit is 3 an other three digits are any of 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4.
(1) Using 2, 2, 3 we have 3223, 3232, 3322 i.e. 3! = 3 no.

Hari(H), Gita(G), Irfan(I) and Saira(S) are sibilings (i.e. brothers and sisters). All
were born on Ist January. The age difference between any two successive siblings
(that is born one after another) is less than 3 years. Given the following facts:
(i) Haris age + Gitas age > Irfans age + Sairas age
(ii) The age difference between Gita and Saira is 1 year. However, Gita is not the
oldest and Saira is not the youngest
(iii) There are not twins.

(D) IHSG

Let H , G , S and I be ages of Hari, Gita, Saira and Irfan respectively.


Now from statement (1) we have H + G > I + S
Form statement (2) we get that G S = 1 or S G = 1
As G cant be oldest and S cant be youngest thus either GS or SG possible.
From statement (3) we get that there are no twins
(A) HSIG : There is I between S and G which is not possible
(B) SGHI : SG order is also here and S > G > H > I and G + H > S + I which is
possible.
(C) IGSH : This gives I > G and S > H and adding these both inequalities we
have I + S > H + G which is not possible.
(D) IHSG : This gives I > H and S > G and adding these both inequalities we
have I + S > H + G which is not possible.
Hence (B) is correct option.
