Duty Cycle=20% or
Ton/(Ton+Toff)=0.2 ----(1)

Simplyfying (1) we will get (Toff/Ton)=4

Avg=(1/T)*[(70*ton+ 20*toff)],where T=Ton+Toff

Avg=(1/Ton+Toff)*[(70*ton+ 20*toff)]

Avg=(1/Ton+Toff)* Ton [(70+ 20*(Toff/Ton))]

Avg=(Ton/Ton+Toff)* [(70+ 20*(Toff/Ton))]

Since (Ton/Ton+Toff)=Duty Cycle=0.2

Avg=(0.2)* [(70+ 20*(Toff/Ton))]

Since (Toff/Ton)=4

Avg=(0.2)* [(70+ 20*(4))]

Avg=30 volts
(1)

Duty cycle = 20%,

(ton/(ton+toff)) = 0.2, when calculated we get toff = 4 ton.

Now the waveform is confined between 20 v to 70 v as it is stated that the base line is 20v and peak to peak is 50v.

avg = (1/T)*[(70*ton+ 20*toff)], where T=ton+toff.

Calculate it and you will get 30 v. Hope it will help someone.

Vavg = (2 * Vm)/π
So, put Vm = peak to peak = 50,
And the ans will be = 31aprox.

How it will we come 0.2 and 4? Please explain.

Can anyone explain this in detail ?

The Avg voltage = 0.637*50= 31.000.

As per my logic, 50(0.6) = 30.

Please anyone explain this.

20+50*0.2 = 30.
