QUESTION 1:
Find the value of h[n+4] * d[n–2], d[n] being the delta function.
a. h[n–3].
b. h[n+2].
c. h[n–4].
d. h[n–5].
Correct Answer: b
Detailed Solution:
Convolution with delta function give shifted version of same signal as,
h[n+a] * d[n+b] = h[n+a+b].

QUESTION 2:
What is the convolution of a signal with an impulse function?
a. Impulse
b. Signal itself
c. Signal multiplied by impulse
d. A new signal
Correct Answer: b
Detailed Solution:
Convolution of a signal with an impulse function result in the signal itself.

QUESTION 3:
If the signal x(n) = {2, 0, 3, 1, 2, 4, 1}, then find y(n)= x(–2n + 1)?
(Note: The underlined signal value in the input and output represents the signal at n=0)
a. y(n) = {1, 2, 3, 2}
b. y(n) = {2, 3, 2, 1}
c. y(n) = {2, 3, 2, 1}
d. y(n) = {1, 2, 3, 2}

Correct Answer: d
Detailed Solution:
x(n)= {2, 0, 3, 1, 2, 4, 1}
A signal advanced by 1 sample is x(n + 1) = {2, 0, 3, 1, 2, 4, 1}.
Then, decimation by the factor of 2 is x(2n+1) = {2, 3, 2, 1}.
We get the final output by time reversal as, y(n) = x(–2n + 1) = {1, 2, 3, 2}.

QUESTION 4:
For a Binomial distribution, the probability of hitting the target is 0.2. If the number of trials is 5,
then mean and variance will be
a. 0.3, 0.16
b. 0.7, 0.21
c. 1.0, 0.8
d. 0.7, 0.49
Correct Answer: c
Detailed Solution:
Number of trials, n = 5, p = 0.2
q = 1 – p = 1 – 0.2 = 0.8
mean = np = 1.0
Variance = npq = 5 (0.2) (0.8) = 0.8.

QUESTION 5:
When we take up design of systems, ideally how do we define the stability of a system?
a. A system is stable, if a bounded input gives a bounded output, for some values of the
input
b. A system is unstable, if a bounded input gives a bounded output, for all values of the
input
c. A system is unstable, if a bounded input gives a bounded output, for some values of the
input
d. A system is stable, if a bounded input gives a bounded output, for all values of the input
Correct Answer: b

QUESTION 6:
If the signal is sampled at 3000 Hz then maximum frequency that can be recovered without
aliasing is
a. 3000 Hz
b. 1500 Hz
c. 2000 Hz
d. 100 Hz
Correct answer: b
Detailed solution:
Sampling theorem states that frequencies up to half of the sampling frequency can be
recovered without aliasing. Here, the sampling frequency is 3000 Hz. Hence, frequencies up to
1500 Hz will be recovered without aliasing.

QUESTION 7:
From a deck of 52 playing cards two cards are picked randomly with replacement. What is the
probability of getting two face cards? (Note: there are a total of 12 face cards in a deck).
a. 9/169
b. 33/676
c. 12/221
d. 11/221
Correct Answer: a
Detailed Solution:
Total face cards: 12
The probability of getting two face cards with replacement is independent events. Hence, it is
given as,
12/52 * 12/52 = 9/169.

QUESTION 8:
Find the mean, mode and median of the real-valued sequence, x(n) = {3,2,3,2,3,1,1,3}
a. mean = 2.25, mode = 3, median = 2.5
b. mean = 2.5, mode = 3, median = 2
c. mean = 2.25, mode = 3, median = 3
d. mean = 2.25, mode = 2, median = 2.5
Correct Answer: a
Detailed Solution:
Mean of x(n) = (sum of all elements) / (total number of elements)
=(3+2+3+2+3+1+1+3) / 8
= 18 / 8
= 2.25
Mode is the maximum occurring number in the sequence. Hence, mode is 3.
Median is the central sample value when a given sequence is arranged in an order.
The arranged sequence will be, x’(n) = {1,1,2,2,3,3,3,3}.
In this case, the number of elements is even. Hence, median will be the average of 2 and
3 which is (2+3) / 2 = 2.5.

QUESTION 9:
What would be the output of the following MATLAB code?
A= [1 2; 3 4]; B=A^2
a. [1 4; 9 16]
b. [4 1; 16 9]
c. [7 10; 15 22]
d. [10 7; 22 15]
Correct answer: c
Detailed solution:
The value of B will be the matrix multiplication of AA.

QUESTION 10:
What will be the output of the following MATLAB code?
A = [2, 4, 8];
X = A(0) / 2
disp(X)
a. 1
b. 0
c. Attempted to access A(0); index must be a positive integer or logical.
d. 2
Correct answer: c
Detailed solution: MATLAB indexing starts from 1 instead of zero. Hence, it will show an error.
