01. A closed loop system has the characteristic equation given by s3 Ks2 K 2 s 3 0 .
For this system to be stable, which one of the following conditions should be satisfied?
(a) 0 K 0.5 (b) 0.5 K 1
(c) 0 K 1 (d) K 1
01. Ans: (d)

Solution:
Characteristic equation
s3 ks2 k 2 s 3 0
Routh array
s3 1 k 2
s2 k 3
k k 2 3
s1
k
s0 3
For system to be stable, all elements in first column must be positive
k 2 2k 3 0
k 3k 1 0
Root are k=-3 & k=1
So equations will be positive k 3 and 1 k

02. Consider the system with following input-output relation y n 1 1 x n
n
Where x [n] is the input and y [n] is the output. The system is
(a) Invertible and time invariant (b) invertible and time varying
(c) non-invertible and time invariant (d) non-invertible and time varying
02. Ans: (d)

Solution:
y n 1 1 x n
n

For n= Odd, y n 0
n= Even y n 2x n
Hence, odd samples of x n are removed & cannot be recovered so it is not invertible.
Since y n depends on x n as f n x n , the system is time variant
