36. If A is square matrix, then which of the following is not true?

(1) AA' is symmetric
(2) A² is symmetric
(3) A + A' is symmetric
(4) A - A' is skew symmetric

Solution:

37. Number of districts in Haryana State is

(1) 24
(2) 25
(3) 22
(4) 23

Correct Answer: (3) 22

Solution:On 1 November, 1966 Haryana was constituted as a separate state with seven dis-tricts, according to the partition plan of the then East Punjab. The seven districts were Rohtak, Jind, Hisar, Mahen-dragarh, Gurgaon, Karnal, Ambala. A further 15 districts were added later by reorganizing the erstwhile districts, taking the total to 22.

38. A coild has an Inductance 53 mH and resistance of 0.35Ω If a 12V emf is applied acros the coil, how much energy stored in the magnetic field after the current has built to its equilibrium value?

(1) 23 J
(2) 100 J
(3) 55 J
(4) 31 J

Correct Answer: (4) 31 J

Solution:The key idea here is that the energy stored in the mag-netic field of a coil at any time depends on the current through the coil at any time. Thus, to find the energy stored at equilibrium, we must first find the equilibrium current. According to the question, inductance, L = 53 mH = 53 × 10⁻³ H; resistance, R = 0.350; emf (electromotive force) of battery, V = 12 volts.
First of all, we need to find out current through inductor. i.e., I = V/R = (12/0.35) = 34.28 A Now, energy stored in the magnetic field after the current has built up to its equilibrium, E = 1/2 LI² = 1/2 × 53 × 10⁻³ × (34.28)² ≈ 31 J
