This set of Signals & Systems Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Discrete Fourier
Transform”.

1. Given that S1 and S2 are two discrete time systems. Consider the following statements:
i) If S1 and S2 are linear, then S is linear
ii) If S1 and S2 are non-linear, then S is non-linear
iii) If S1 and S2 are causal, then S is causal
iv) If S1 and S2 are time invariant, then S is time invariant
The true statements from the above are ____________
a) i, ii, iii
b) ii, iii, iv
c) I, iii, iv
d) I, ii, iii, iv
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: Only statement ii is false.
For example, S1: y[n] = x[n] +b and S2: y[n] = x[n]-b, where, b≠0.
S{x[n]} = S2 {S1{x[n]}} = S2{x[n] +b} = x[n]
Hence, S is linear.

2. For two discrete time systems, consider the following statements:

i) If S1 and S2 are linear and time invariant, then interchanging their order does not change the system.
ii) If S1 and S2 are linear and time variant, then interchanging their order does not change the system
The correct statement from the above is __________
a) Both i & ii
b) Only i
c) Only ii

d) Neither i, nor ii
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: S1: y[n] = n x[n]
And S2: y[n] = n x [n+1]
If x[n] = δ[n], then S2 {S1 {δ[n]}} = S2 [0] = 0
S1 {S2 {δ[n]}} = S1 {δ[n+1]} = – δ[n+1]≠0.

3. The following input-output pairs have been observed during the operation of a time invariant system
i) x1[n] = {1, 0, 2} (Laplace transform) y1 [n] = {0, 1,2}
ii) x2[n] = {0,0, 3} (Laplace transform) y2[n] = {0,1,0,2}
iii) x3[n] = {0,0,0,1} (Laplace transform) y3[n] = {1,2,1}
The conclusion regarding the linearity of the system is _____________
a) Linear
b) Non-linear
c) One more observation is required
d) Conclusion cannot be drawn from observation
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: System is not linear. This is evident from the observation of the pairs, x3[n] – y3[n] and
x2[n] and y2[n]. If the system were linear y2[n] would be of the form y2[n] = {3, 6, 3}.

The correct statement from the above is ____________
a) Both i and ii
b) Only i
c) Only ii
d) Neither i nor ii
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: S1: y[n] = x [n+1] …… (Non-causal)
S2: y[n] = x [n-2] ……… (Causal)
S: y[n] = x [n-1] which is causal ………. (False)
S1: y[n] = ex[n] stable, S2: y[n] = ln(x[n]) ……… (Unstable)
But S: y[n] = x[n] ………. (Stable, false)

6. The Z transform of δ (n − m) is ___________

a) z-n
b) z-m
c) 1

z−n

d) z−m
1

View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: δ (n − m) is a delayed impulse function which is delayed by m units. We know that the Z-
transform of a delayed function f (n-m) is (z-m) times the Z-transform of the function f (n). So, the Z
transform of δ (n − m) is z-m.

7. A 10 V is connected across a load whose V-I characteristics is given by 7I = V2 + 2V. The internal
resistance of the battery is of magnitude 1Ω. The current delivered by the battery is ____________
a) 6 A
b) 5 A
c) 7 A
d) 8 A
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: 7I = V2 + 2V …………………. (1)
Now, V = 10 – 1 × I
Putting the value of V in eqt (1), we get,
&I = (10 – I) 2 + 2(10 – I) …………………. (2)
Or, I = 100 + I2 – 20I + 20 – 2I
Or, I2 – 29I + 120 = 0
2
+29±√29 –4(120)
29±19
∴I =
2
=
2

I = 5 A, 24 A
Now, I = 24 A is not possible because V will be negative from eqt (2)
∴ I = 5 A.

a) π

b) 1

c) 1

d) 1

View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: There are two waveforms of frequencies 6 and 9, respectively. Hence the combined
frequency is the highest common factor between 6 and 9 which is 3. Therefore the period is . 1

10. Given a series RLC circuit with V = 5V, R = 200 kΩ, C = 10µF. Sampling frequency of the circuit is 10
Hz. The samples x (n), where n=0,1,2,…., is ___________
a) 5(1-e-0.05n)
b) 5e-0.05n
c) 5(1-e-5n)
d) 5e-5n
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: The charging current in circuit I (t) = I (0+) e-t/RC
Since the capacitor acts as short circuit, I (0+) = V

∴ I (t) = e-t/RC

a) 0
b) 1.78 ms
c) 7.23 ms
d) 9.21 ms
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: T = L

Or, T = = 0.002 s = 2 ms
0.01

For the ideal case, transient response will die out with time constant.
Practically, T will be less than 2 ms.

c) Real
d) Real and non- negative
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Fourier transform of g (t) is G (f)
Given that, g (t) is real, odd and symmetric with respect to time.
∴G*(jm) = – G(jm); G(jm) purely imaginary.

Answer: c
Explanation: The z-transform of x (n) = X (z). Let the region of convergence be R1
The z-transform of y (n) = y (z). Let the region of convergence be R2
The z-transform of x (n) * y (n) is X (z).Y (z) [from property]
So, the region of convergence is R1 ∩ R2.
