Q1. Let X be a real-valued random variable with E[X] and E[X2] denoting the mean values of X and X2 , respectively. The relation which always holds true is
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q2. Consider a random process   where the random phase  is uniformly distributed in the interval [0, 2π]. The auto-correlation E[X(t1) X(t2)] is
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

We have the random process

Where random phase ϕ is uniformly distributed in the interval  [0, 2π]. So, we obtain the probability density function as
fϕ(ϕ)= 1/2π
Therefore, the auto-correlation is given as


Using the trigonometric relation,


Q3.
The minimum eigen value of the following matrix is

Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

For, a given matrix [A] the eigen value is calculated as where  gives the eigen values of matrix. Here, the minimum eigen value among the given options is We check the characteristic equation of matrix for this eigen value
= 3(60 - 49h- 5(25 - 14)+ 2)35 - 24h
= 33 - 55 + 22
= 0
Hence, it satisfied the characteristic equation and so, the minimum eigen value is



Q4. A polynomial  with all coefficients positive has
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

Given, the polynomial 
Since, all the coefficients are positive so, the roots of equation is given by
f(x) = 0
It will have at least one pole in right hand plane as there will be least one sign change from (a1) to (a0in the Routh matrix 1st column. Also, there will be a corresponding pole in left hand plane
i.e.; at least one positive root (in R.H.P)
and at least one negative root (in L.H.P)
Rest of the roots will be either on imaginary axis or in L.H.P

Q5. The solution of the differential equation  is
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:


lny = kx + A
Since y(0) = c thus lnc = A
lny = kx + lnc
Iny = Inekx + Inc
y = cekx


Q6. The differential equation 100  describes a system with an in put x (t) and an output y(t). The system, which is initially relaxed, is excited by a unit step input. The output y(t) can be represented by the waveform
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

100 
Applying Laplace transform we get


Roots are s = 1/10, 1/10 which lie on Right side of s plane thus unstable

Q7. The trigonometric Fourier series of an even function does not have the
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

For an even function Fourier series contains dc term and cosine term (even and odd harmonics).

Q8. The value of the integral where c is the circle |z| = 1 is given by
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

C R Integrals is  where C is circle |z| = 1
So poles are outside the unit circle. 

Q9. Let , and h(t)  is a filter matched to g(t). if g(t) is applied as input to h(t) then the Fourier transform of the output is
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

The matched filter is characterized by a frequency response that is given as


Q10. Let U and V be two independent zero mean Gaussain random variables of variances 1/4 and 1/9 respectively. The probability

Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Given, random variables U and V with mean zero and variances 1/4 and 1/9

The distribution is shown in the figure below

We can express the distribution in standard form by assuming
