    The given circuit:

    Applying KVL in the input side, we get
    V1 = 2I1 + I1.1 + (I1 + I2).1
    or
    V1 = 4I1 + I2 …. . . .(i)
    Again applying KVL in the output side, we get
    V2 = I2.1 + (I1 + I2).1
    or
    V2 = I1 + 2I2. . . . …(ii)
    From equation (i) and (ii):
    Z11 = 4Ω, Z12 = 1Ω
    Z21 = 1Ω, Z22 = 2Ω
    For the network to be reciprocal
    Z12 = Z21 (Here Z11 = Z12 = 1Ω)
    So, network is reciprocal
    and
    Z11 = 4Ω, Z22 = 2Ω
    Therefore, statements 1 and 3 are correct.
    Hence alternative (A) is the correct choice.

    The given network:

    Let R = RL.
    The value of R required for maximum power transfer in network is equivalent to net resistance as seen from the open load terminal (i.e. Thevenin’s resistance, Rth)

    From above figure,
    Rth = [5 || 20] + 4Ω = 4Ω + 4Ω = 8Ω
    Hence alternative (C) is the correct choice

    The given network

    We know that

    h12 =

    Current I1 due to 30V source only:

    I1 =
    4 × 30
    = 10A (A2 to A1)
    12

    Current I2 due to 6V source is:

    I2 =
    2 × 6
    = 1A (A2 to A1)
    12

    Total current, I = I1 + I2 = 10 + 1 = 11A
    Hence alternative (D) is the correct choice.

    Correct Option: D

    Current I1 due to 30V source only:

    I1 =
    4 × 30
    = 10A (A2 to A1)
    12

    Current I2 due to 6V source is:

    I2 =
    2 × 6
    = 1A (A2 to A1)
    12

    Total current, I = I1 + I2 = 10 + 1 = 11A
    Hence alternative (D) is the correct choice.
