This set of Signals & Systems Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Power and
Energy Signals”.

1. For any given signal, average power in its 6 harmonic components as 10 mW each and fundamental
component also has 10 mV power. Then, average power in the periodic signal is _______________
a) 70
b) 60
c) 10
d) 5
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: We know that according to Parseval’s relation, average power is equal to the sum of the
average powers in all of its harmonic components.
∴ Pavg = 10 × 6 = 60.

2. The property of Fourier Transform which states that the compression in time domain is equivalent to
the expansion in the frequency domain is ____________
a) Duality
b) Scaling
c) Time scaling
d) Frequency shifting
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: From the time scaling property, we can infer that, time scaling is the property which
states that compression in the time domain is equivalent to the expansion in the frequency domain.

3. The impulse response h[n] of a linear time-invariant system is h[n] = u [n+3] + u [n-2] – 2u [n-7]
where, u[n] is the step unit response. The above system is ________________
a) Stable but not causal
b) Stable and causal
c) Causal but unstable
d) Unstable and not causal
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: ∑ ∞
h(k) = ∑
k=−∞
∞
u(k + 3) + ∑
k=−3
u(k − 2)– 2 ∑
∞

k=2
u(k − 7)
∞

k=7

=∑ 6
1 + ∑
k=−3
1
6

k=2

= 10 + 5
= 15 < ∞
For bounded input, we are getting bounded output. So system is stable.
The response depends on future value of input signal i.e. u (n+3). So, the system is not causal.

d) Undetermined
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Final value theorem is not applicable for poles on imaginary axis.
Given axis has poles at s = +j2, -j2 and s = 0.
Therefore, x (∞) is undetermined.

5. The Laplace transform of a signal is given as Y(s) = 1

s(s−1)
, then the final value is ___________
a) -1
b) 0
c) 1
d) Unbounded
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Final value theorem is applicable only when all the poles of the system lie in the left half
of the s-plane.
Here, s=1 lies on the right s-plane pole.
Hence the final value is unbounded.

. Re[s]>0. The final value of f(t) is ___________
a) 0
b) 1
c) [-1,1]
d) ∞
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: L-1 [F(S)] = sin wt
So, f (t) = sin wt
As sin lies between [-1, 1], so, final value of f (t) lies in [-1, 1].

8. A band-limited signal with a maximum frequency of 5 kHz is to be sampled. According to the

sampling theorem, the sampling frequency which is not valid is _______________
a) 5 kHz
b) 12 kHz
c) 15 kHz
d) 20 kHz

Also, (fs) min = 2 X 5 = 10 kHz

So, fs ≥ 10 kHz.

9. A current I given by I = – 8 + 6√2 (sin (ωt + 30°)) A is passed through three meters. The respective
readings (in ampere) will be?
a) 8, 6 and 10
b) 8, 6 and 8
c) – 8, 10 and 10
d) -8, 2 and 2
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: PMMC instrument reads only DC value and since it is a centre zero type, so it will give –
8 values.

10. Given, R = 10 Ω, L = 100 mH and C = 10 μF. Selectivity is ____________

a) 10
b) 1.2
c) 0.15
d) 0.1
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Selectivity = 1

Q

Q= ωL

R
=
1000×100×10

∴ Q = 10
So, Selectivity = 0.1.

11. Given that X(s) is the Laplace transform of the signal cos 2t u (t). The time signal corresponding to
(s+1) X(s) is _________________
a) (cos 2t – 2 sin 2t) u (t)

sin2t

c) (cos 2t + 2 sin 2t) u (t)

d) (cos 2t – ) u (t)
sin2t

View Answer

Answer: a
dx(t)
Explanation: We know that, s X (s) + X(s) is having Laplace transform dt
+ x (t)
Or, y (t) = (cos 2t – 2 sin 2t) u (t).

12. Let x(t) be a continuous time, real valued signal band limited to F Hz. The Nyquist sampling rate in
Hz, for y(t) = x(0.5t) + x(t) – x(2t) is ______________

d) 8F
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Expansion in time domain is compression in frequency domain and vice versa. So, the
maximum frequency component in given signal is 2F Hz. And according to sampling theorem,
Nyquist rate = 2 fm
=2X2F
= 4F Hz.

13. Increased pulse-width in the flat-top sampling , leads to ______________

a) Attenuation of high frequencies in reproduction
b) Attenuation of low frequencies in reproduction
c) Greater aliasing errors in reproduction
d) No harmful effects in reproduction
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: As pulse width T is increased, the width 1/T of the first lobe of the spectrum is
decreased.
Hence, increased pulse-width in the flat-top sampling, leads to attenuation of high frequencies in
reproduction.

14. A relay coil having voltage of magnitude 210 V and frequency 50 Hz is connected to a 210 V, 50 Hz
supply. If it has resistance of 50 Ω and an inductance of 0.2 H, the apparent power is _____________
a) 549.39 VA
b) 275.6 VA
c) 157 VA
d) 187 VA

a) 10 kHz
b) 8 kHz
c) 6 kHz
d) 4 kHz
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: Upper cut-off frequency fH = 6 kHz
Bandwidth = 6k – 4k
= 2 kHz
2fH
Now, fs = k
fH
Where, k = B

= 6kH z

2kH z

=3
Also, fs = 2X6kH z
