  1. Let the Laplace transform of a function f(t) which exists for t > 0 be F1 (s) and the Laplace transform of its delayed version f(t – π) be F2 * (s). Let F1 * (s) be the complex conjugate of F1 (s) with the Laplace variable set as s = σ + jω.
    G(s) =
    F2(s).F1*(s)
    , then the inverse Laplace transform of G(s) is
    |F1(s)|2

    F2 (t) = L{f(t – τ)} = e – Sτ F1 (S)

    G(s) =
    e– sτ F1 (s) . F1* (s)
    = e– sτ
    |F1 (s)|2

    G(t) = L– 1 {G(S)} = δ(t – τ)

    Correct Option: B

    F2 (t) = L{f(t – τ)} = e – Sτ F1 (S)

    G(s) =
    e– sτ F1 (s) . F1* (s)
    = e– sτ
    |F1 (s)|2

    G(t) = L– 1 {G(S)} = δ(t – τ)

  1. As shown in the figure, a negative feedback system has an amplifier of gain 100 with ±10% tolerance in
    the forward path, and an attenuator of value
    9
    in the feedback path. The overall system
    100

    gain is approximately

    C(s)
    =
    G(s)
    R(s)1 + G(s) H(s)

    = 9.89 ≈ 9.9
    = 10 – 0.1 ≠ 10 – 1% of 10
    Hence overall system gain = 10 ± 1%

    Correct Option: A

    Gain, G(s) = 100 ± 10%

    100


    C(s)
    =
