1.Let z(t) = x(t) * y(t), where "*" denotes

convolution. Let C be a positive real-valued
constant. Choose the correct expression for
z (ct). [EE Gate 2017]

x(t), is given by [ EE Gate 2014]
A.
B.
C.
D.

Solution:-
h(t)= e^-5t u(t) H(s)= 1/s+5
y(t)= e^-3t -e^-5t u(t) Y(s)=1/s+3 -1/s+5
H(s)= Y(s)/X(s)
X(s)= Y(s)/H(s)
=(5+5)-(s+3)/(5+3)(s+5)÷1/s+5= 2/s+3
X(t) = 2e^-3t u(t)
7. A Linear Time Invariant system with an
impulse response h(t) produces output y(t)
when input x(t) is applied. When the input x
(t−τ) is applied to a system with impulse

[ EE Gate 2009]
A. y(t)
B. y(t − τ)
C. y(2(t −τ ))
D. y(t−2 τ)

Solution:-
input (t−τ)
To check Time invariant system
Y(t,t1)=Y(t-t1)
Y(t,t1)=(t-t1)- τ
Y(t-t1)=(t-t1)- τ
Y(t)= y(t-2 τ)
8. Consider a single input single output
discrete-time system with x[n] as input and
y[n] as output, where the two are related as

Which one of the following statements is

true about the system? [ EC Gate 2017]
A. It is causal and stable
B. It is causal but not stable
C. It is not causal but stable
D. It is neither causal nor stable
Answer:-A
Solution:- For n ranging from 0 to 10 present output
depends on present input only.At all other points present
output depends on present and past input values.Thus the
system is “Causal”.
If x[n] is bounded for the given finite range of n i.e. 0 ≤
n ≤ 10 y[n] is also bounded.
Similarly x[n] - x[n-1] is also bounded at all other values
of n
Thus the system is “stable”.

output relationship is

A. Linear and causal
B. Linear but not causal
C. Causal but not linear
D. Neither linear nor causal
Answer:-B
Solution:- It depends on the future value of
i/p signal, because of it is non causal system.
11. The impulse response of a continuous

3). The value of the step response at t = 2 is
[ EE Gate 2013]

Solution:- The equivalent impulse response of
two systems connected in parallel is the sum of
individual impulse responses. It is represented
as
y(t) = x(t) * h1(t) + x(t) * h2(t) = x(t) * (h1(t) +
h2(t))

B. non-linear and time-invariant
C. linear and time-varying
D. non-linear and time-varying
Answer:-C
Solution:- y(t)=x(t) cos(t) To check linearity
Y(t)=y1(t)+y2(t) , y1(t) & y2(t) is o/p of
x1(t) & x2(t)
So, the system is linear.

18. The input and output of a continuous

time system are respectively denoted by x(t)
and y(t). Which of the following
descriptions corresponds to a causal system
? [ EC Gate 2008]

A. y(t) = x(t - 2) + x(t + 4)

B. y(t) = (t - 4)x(t + 1)
C. y(t) = (t + 4)x(t - 1)
D. y(t) = (t + 5)x(t + 5)
Answer:- C
Solution:- The output of causal system depends only
on present and past states only. In option (A) y(0)
depends on x(- 2) and x(4). In option (B) y(0) depends on
x(1). In option (C) y(0) depends on x(- 1). In option (D)
y(0) depends on x(5). Thus only in option (C) the value of
y(t) at t = 0 depends on x(- 1) past value. In all other
option present value depends on future value.
19. Let a causal LTI system be characterized
by the following differential equation, with
initial rest condition

respectively. The impulse response of the

D.
Answer:- B
Solution:-

20 Adiscrete time signal x[n] = sin (π2n) n

being an integer, is [EC Gate 2014]
A. periodic with period π
B. periodic with period π2
C. periodic with period π/2
D. not periodic
Answer:- D
Solution:- In the given options (A), (B) and (C), we
have the periods respectively as N1 = π,N2 = π2,N3 =
π/3.None of the above period is an integer. Since, a
discrete time signal has its period an integer. So, all the
three options are incorrect. Hence, we are left with the
option (D).the discrete time signal x[n] = sin (π2n) is not
periodic
