(a)less than 50 (b) more than 60 (c) in between 50 & 60 (d) none

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….

3.why we don,t like flashover in transmission line (t-line)- (a ) it may create earth fault(b )it reduces the life of insulator…..
Read something about flashover & puncture.

4.total no of strands in a acsr conductor is 81, then what is the no. of conductor in its outer layer….(a)36 (b)18 (c)24…….Also read some more on acsr.

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 tosecondary or like wise.read some more on p.u calculation.
