Question 1
Correct
Mark 1.00 out of 1.00
The Nyquist band width of x (t) = 3 cos50πt + 10 sin300πt – cos100t is
a. 100Hz
b. 300 Hz 
c. 50 Hz
d. 200 Hz
Your answer is correct.


We know that Nyquist frequency is twice the maximum frequency, i.e. fs = 2 fm.
The maximum frequency present in the signal is ωm = 300 π or fm = 150 Hz. Therefore the Nyquist
frequency fs = 2 fm = 300 Hz.

What is the ROC of the system function H(z) if the discrete time LTI system is BIBO stable?
a. Doesn’t exist
b. Entire z-plane, except at z=∞
c. Entire z-plane, except at z=0

A causal system is one in which the output depends on the present or past values of the input, not future. If
it depends on future values then it is non-causal. For y(t)=x(t)+x(t-3)+x(t^2), y(n)=x(n+2), and y(n)=x(2n^2), the
output depends on future values i.e., x (t^2), x (n + 2) and x (2n^2) respectively. Whereas in y(t)=x(t-1)+x(t-2),

b. 172.16.255.255
c. 172.16.10.255

The default subnet mask for a Class B network is 255.255.0.0. The network ID for a Class B network takes up
the first two octets (16 bits) and the remaining two octets (16 bits) are used for host addressing.
The broadcast address is the address at which all hosts on the network can receive a message
simultaneously. To calculate the broadcast address, we set all host bits to 1s. For a Class B network, the host
bits are in the last two octets (16 bits).
Therefore, the broadcast address for a Class B network with a default subnet mask would be 172.16.255.255.
