Q1.
Let x(t) be the input and y(t) be the output of a continuous time system.
Match the system properties P1, P2 and P3 with system relations R1, R2, R3, R4
  Properties                                               Relations
P1 : Linear but NOT time - invariant R1 : y(t) = t2x(t)
P2 : Time - invariant but NOT linear R2 : y(t) = t|x(t)|
P3 : Linear and time - invariant        R3 : y(t) = |x(t)|
                                                         R4 : y(t) = x(t-5)
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Mode function are not linear. Thus y(t) = |x(t)|  is not linear but this functions is time invariant. Option (A) and (B) may be correct.
The y(t) = t|x(t)| is not linear, thus option (B) is wrong and (a) is correct. We can see that
R1 : y(t) = t2x(t) Linear and time variant.
R2 : y(t) = t|x(t)| Non linear and time variant.
R3 : y(t) = |x(t)| Non linear and time invariant.
R4 : y(t) = x(t-5) Linear and time invariant.
