Question 4 Explanation: 
Answer Ranges: –27.01 to –26.99

For the minimization of the energy in the error signal there are different approaches like, Prony’s method, Pade approximation. As g(n) has three samples.

Consider them as g(-1) , g(0) , g(1)
E(h,g) can be minimized by making h[n] = g[n] using rectangular window and parsval’s theorem of DTFT.
Now, 10g[–1] + g[1] = 10 x (–3) + 3 = –27

A

B
It is causal but not stable
C

D

Question 7 Explanation: 
For an input-output relation if the present output depends on present and past input values then the given system is “Causal”.

For the given relation,

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”.

Stability
If x[n] is bounded for the given finite range of n i.e. 0 Similarly x [n] - x [n- 1] is also bounded at all other values of n
Thus the system is “stable”.
Question 8
The system y(t) = x(2t) + 3 is
A
Linear and Time Invariant
B
Causal and Linear
C
Non-Linear and Time Variant
D
Linear and memoryless
Question 8 Explanation: 
We have to determine the characteristics of the system given by the equation in question.
First let us check for Linear/Non-Linear characteristics:
For input x1(t) we have=> y1(t)=x1(2t)+3
For input x2(t) we have=> y2(t)=x2(2t)+3
Now, the weighted sum of outputs can be given as: ay1(t)+by2(t)=a[x1(2t)+3]+b[x2(2t)+3]
The output due to weighted sum of inputs is:
y3(t)=T[ax1(2t)+bx2(2t)]=[ax1(t)+bx2(t)]+3
So, we can see that=> y3(t)ay1(t)+by2(t)
So, the system is non-linear
Next let us check for Time variant/invariant characteristics:
Delay the signal by T=> x(t-T)=X(2t-T)+3
y(t-T)=x(2(t-T))+3
So, from both the equations, we can interpret that: x(t-T)y(t-T)
So, the system is time variant.

II. The complex Fourier series coefficients of x(3t) are {3ak} where k is integer valued

B

C
It has constant phase response over all frequencies.
D
It has constant phase response over the entire z-plane.
Question 12 Explanation: 
The Correct Answer Among All the Options is B
According to data given, we can draw the poles in z-domain as follows,

For the system to be stable, ROC should include the unit circle. From the given pole pattern, it is clear that to make the system stable, the ROC should be two-sided and hence the impulse response of the system should be also two-sided.
For LTI system to be stable ROC of Z transform of unit impulse response must include unity circle: Required ROC for above condition: 0.25 < |z| <2
Since ROC is two sided so unit impulse response must also be two sided.

A
Fill in the Blank Type Question
Question 48 Explanation: 

Given characteristic equation,

Applying the Routh stability criterion,
s5     1       3         - 4
s4     2       6         - 8
s 3    0       0           0
s2
s1
s0
It contains complete zero row, so we obtain the auxiliary equation as
Put x = s2,
2x2+ 6x − 8 = 0
x = 1, -4
So, s2 = 1 or s = ±1
and
Hence, one root s =− 1 lies on the left side. Taking differential of auxiliary equation,
Now, the Routh array is redrawn as
s5     1           3       -4
s4     2           6       -8
s3     8           12      0
s2     3          -8       0
s1    33.33       0
so     -8
Since, there is only one sign change in the first column of Routh array, so one pole lie in R.H.S and two poles lie on imaginary axis. Hence, the remaining two poles lies in L.H.S.
