Question 1 Explanation: 
Given than,
f_{\mathrm{CLK}}=5 \mathrm{MHz}
Execution time =1.4 \mu \mathrm{s}
Execution time =n(T-\text { state })
n= number of T-states required to execute the instruction
T- state (or) T_{\mathrm{CLK}}=\frac{1}{f_{\mathrm{CLK}}}=0.2 \mu \mathrm{s}
So, \quad n=\frac{1.4 \mu \mathrm{s}}{T_{\mathrm{CLK}}}=\frac{1.4}{0.2}=7
Question 2
Consider a single input single output discrete-time system with x[n] as input and y[n] as output, where the two are related as
y[n]=\left\{\begin{matrix} n|x[n]| & for 0\leq n\leq 10\\ x[n]-x[n-1] & othrwise \end{matrix}\right.
Which one of the following statements is true about the system?
A
It is causal and stable
B
It is causal but not stable
C
It is not causal but stable
D
It is neither causal nor stable

Question 2 Explanation: 
Since present output does not depend upon future values of input, the system is causal and also every bounded input produces bounded output, so it is stable.


Question 3
Consider the following statement about the linear dependence of the real valued functions y_{1}=1, \; y_{2}=x \; and \; y_{3}=x^{2} , over the field of real numbers.
I. y_{1}, \; y_{2} \; and \; y_{3} are linearly independent on -1 \leq x \leq 0
II. y_{1}, \; y_{2} \; and \; y_{3} are linearly dependent on 0 \leq x \leq 1
III. y_{1}, \; y_{2} \; and \; y_{3} are linearly independent on 0 \leq x \leq 1
IV. y_{1}, \; y_{2} \; and \; y_{3} are linearly dependent on -1 \leq x \leq 0
Which one among the following is correct ?
A
Both I and II are true
B
Both I and III are true
C
Both II and IV are true
D
Both III and IV are true

Question 3 Explanation: 
Any of the given three functions cannot be written as the linear combination of other two functions. Hence, the statements I and III are correct
Question 4
Consider the 5 x 5 matrix

Question 4 Explanation: 
\begin{aligned} |A-\lambda I|&=0 \\ \begin{array}{|ccccc|} 1-\lambda & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 \\ 5 & 1-\lambda & 2 & 3 & 4 \\ 4 & 5 & 1-\lambda & 2 & 3 \\ 3 & 4 & 5 & 1-\lambda & 2 \\ 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 & 1-\lambda \end{array}&=0\\ \end{aligned}
sum of all elements in every one row must be zero.
\begin{aligned} \text{i.e. }\quad 15-\lambda&=0\\ \lambda&=15 \end{aligned}
Question 5
The voltage of an electromagnetic wave propagating in a coaxial cable with uniform characteristic impedance is V(\iota )=e^{-y \iota +j\omega t} volts, Where \iota is the distance along the length of the cable in meters. \gamma =(0.1+j40)m^{-1} is the complex propagation constant, and \omega = 2\pi \times 10^{9} rad/ s is the angular frequency. The absolute value of the attenuation in the cable in dB/meter is __________.
A
0.5
B
0.86
C
0.34
D
0.94

Question 5 Explanation: 
\begin{aligned} V(l) &=V_{O} e^{-\alpha l} e^{-j\beta l} e^{j\omega t} \\ \text { Attenuation } &=\frac{\mid \text { Input } \mid}{\mid \text { Output } \mid}=\frac{\left|V_{O}(0)\right|}{\left|V_{o}(l)\right|} \end{aligned}
Attenuation per meter =\frac{\left|V_{0}\right|}{\left|V_{0}(1 \mathrm{m})\right|}=e^{\alpha}
Attenuation in \mathrm{dB} / \mathrm{m}=\left(20 \log e^{\alpha}\right) \mathrm{dB} / \mathrm{m}
=20(0.1) \log e=0.868 \mathrm{dB} / \mathrm{m}
