PREFACEThis book doesn’t make promise but provides complete satisfaction to the readers. The market scenario is confusing and readers don’t find the optimum quality books. This book provides complete set of problems appeared in competition exams as well as fresh set of problems.
The book is categorized into units which are then sub-divided into chapters and the concepts of the problems are addressed in the relevant chapters. The aim of the book is to avoid the unnecessary elaboration and highlights only those concepts and techniques which are absolutely necessary. Again time is a critical factor both from the point of view of preparation duration and time taken for solving each problem in the examination. So the problems solving methods is the books are those which take the least distance to the solution.
But however to make a comment that this book is absolute for GATE preparation will be an inappropriate one. The theory for the preparation of the examination should be followed from the standard books. But for a wide collection of problems, for a variety of problems and the efficient way of solving them, what one needs to go needs to go through is there in there in the book. Each unit (e.g. Networks) is subdivided into average seven number of chapters on an average each of which contains 40 problems which are selected so as to avoid unnecessary redundancy and highly needed completeness.
I shall appreciate and greatly acknowledge the comments and suggestion from the users of this book.

SOLUTION
CS 1.1 Correct option is (D).Option (A) :Root locus is always symmetric about real axis. This condition is not satisfied for option (A). A point on the real axis lies on the root locus if the total no. of poles and zeros to the right of this point is odd. This is also not satisfied by (A). Thus option (A) is not a root locus diagram.Option (B) & Option (C) :These does not satisfy the condition that, a point on the real axis lies on the root locus if the total no. of poles and zeros to the right of this point is odd. Thus, option (B) and (C) are also not root locus diagram.Option (D) :This is symmetric about real axis and every point of locus satisfy the condition that no. of poles and zeros in right of any point on locus be odd.
CS 1.2 Correct option is (D).Here, option (2) and option (3) both are not symmetric about real axis. So, both can not be root locus.
CS 1.3 Correct option is (A).Here pole-zero location is given as
The angle of departure of the root locus branch from a complex pole is given by
Df 180! c f= +6 @
where f is net angle contribution at this pole due to all other poles and zeros.
f Z Pf f= - f 90 90 90 90c c c c= - + - +6 6@ @

Df 0! c=So, departure angle for pole P0 is 0c, So root locus branch will depart at 0c. Only option (A) satisfy this condition.
CS 1.4 Correct option is (A).Given open loop pole-zero plot is :
No. of poles P 2=No. of zeros Z 1=No. of branches of root locus is equal to = no. of poles 2= . Thus (B) and (D) are not correct. The branch of root locus always starts from open loop pole and ends either at an open loop zero (or) infinite. Thus (C) is incorrect and remaining (A) is correct.
CS 1.5 Correct option is (C).Root locus plot starts from poles and ends at zeros (or) infinite. Only option (C) satisfy this condition. No need to check further.
CS 1.6 Correct option is (A).Root locus always starts from open loop pole, and ends at open loop zero (or) infinite. Only option (A) satisfy this condition.
We can find the root locus of given plot as follows :
Here, no. of poles 2=and no. of zeros 0=So, no. of asymptotes P Z 2= - =and angle of asymptotes is :
af P Zq2 1 180c

Hence, root locus plot will be as shown below.

An open loop pole-zero plot is given as :

CS 1.12 Correct option is (C).
Method i :Root locus lie on real axis where no. of poles and zeros are odd in number from that right side.Hence, from given pole-zero plot root locus lie between poles 2-^ h and 3-^ h on real axis. Thus s 1.29=- can not be break point because it does not lie on root locus. Thus possible break point is 2.43s =- which lies between 2- and 3- .On root locus it may be seen easily that 2.43s =- lie on root locus and locus start from pole 2-^ h and 3-^ h. Thus at 2.43s =- it must break apart.Thus this point is break away point.Gain K will be maximum at break away pointand minimum at break in point. We can also check maxima and minima for gain K
Method IIThe point, at which multiple roots are present, are known as break point. These
are obtained from the dsdK 0=

Here, Root locus lie only region on real axis that is in left of an odd count of real poles and real zeros.Hence, Root locus lies between 20- and 50- and break away point will be also in this region. Only one break away point will there.
CS 1.34 Correct option is (B).The loci starts from 1s+ =- and 0, and ends at 3- and 3. Hence poles are

Hence, root locus cross jw-axis two times and the break points are given by
solution of dsdK 0= .
We can directly check option using pole-zero plot :
Hence, break away point will lie on real axis from s 0= to 1 and break in point will lie on real axis for s 1<- .
Hence, s .0 45= is break away point
and s .2 26=- is break in point
