Consider the Boolean function : F(A, B, C, D) = Σ m (1, 3, 4, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15) Implement it with a 4-to-1 multiplexer and external gates. Connect inputs A and B to the selection lines. Input to the four data lines is a function of the variables C and D which are obtained by expressing F as a function of C and D for each of the four cases when AB = 00, 01, 10 and 11. Functions are to be implemented with external gates. <!--qid:MAINS_2025_Electrical_Engineering-I_Q3-->

Consider the circuit of an operational amplifier given here in which Zener diodes Z1 and Z2 are having reverse breakdown voltage = 7.4 V and forward voltage drop = 0.6 V. (i) Draw the output voltage waveform showing voltage value with time and calculate frequency of output waveform. (ii) Modify the circuit for duty cycle factor D = 0.25 by replacing R1 from combination of suitable resistances and diodes, so that output frequency is not changed.

Answer the following sub-parts: Sketch the approximate root-locus plot for a time-delay system approximated by the transfer function G(s) = K(1 – s/2) / [s(s + 1)(1 + s/2)]. Also compute the largest value of K for which the system is stable under unity feedback and verify this value from the root-locus plot. [10M] The signal-flow graph of a system is as shown below. Determine the overall transmission R(s)/Y(s) and evaluate the sensitivity of the output to variations in K1 at s = 10. What would be the value of sensitivity obtained under DC condition, i.e. s = 0?
