Weightage: 100 Marks Duration: 180 min.

Instructions:
1. A separate answer-sheet is provided for Part-A. Rough work for Part-A may be
done on the last two pages (four sides) of the main answer-sheet.

Q1. The voltage, v(t), and the current, i(t), for a circuit element are as follows:
v(t) = 2 + 5 cos(2π50t) + 3 cos(4π50t + π4 ) V,
i(t) = 1.5 + 2 cos(2π50t − π6 ) + 1.1 cos(4π50t − π6 ) A.
