Q1. The result of the convolution  is
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

From the convolution property,

Now, we replace t by -t to obtain


Q2. In the given circuit, the values of V1 and V2 respectively are

Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

By Nodal analysis


Q3. A function 1 – x2 + xis defined in the closed interval [-1, 1]. The value of x , in the open interval (-1, 1) for which the mean value theorem is satisfied, is
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Lagrange’s mean value theorem states that if a function f(x) is continuous in close interval [a, b] and differentiable in open interval (a + b), then for point c in the interval, we may define

Since, polynomial function is always continuous and differentiable, so


Q4. The damping ratio of a series RLC circuit can be expressed as
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Damping ratio is given by


Q5. The polar plot of the transfer function  will be in the
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:




Q6. Negative feedback in a closed-loop control system DOES NOT
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Negative feedback in closed-loop control system does not reduce bandwidth.

Q7.
For the discrete-time system shown in the figure, the poles of the system transfer function are located at

Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

We have the discrete time system as shown in figure below.

The circuit is minimized as



Hence, poles are at
z = 1/2, 1/3


Q8. A plant transfer function is given as  When the plant operates in a unity feedback configuration, the condition for the stability of the closed loop system is
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Given plant transfer function,

So, closed loop transfer function is

Therefore, characteristics equation is

For stability, we form the Routh array.

For stability, we must have


Q9.
The pole-zero diagram of a causal and stable discrete-time system is shown in the figure. The zero at the origin has multiplicity 4. The impulse response of the system is h[n]. If h[0] = 1, we can conclude

Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

From the pole-zero plot, we obtain the transfer function as
