  1. If x1(t) = 2 sin πt + cos 4πt
    x2(t) = sin 5πt + 3 sin 13πt, then—
    1. x1(t) and x2(t) both are periodic
    2. x1(t) and x2(t) both are non-periodic
    3. x1 is periodic, but x2 is not periodic
    4. x1 is not periodic, but x2 is periodic
Correct Option: A

Given x1(t) = 2 sin πt + cos 4πt
Fundamental period of

x1′(t)=T1′ =
= 2
π

Fundamental period of
x1′′(t)=T1′′ =
=

Therefore, x1(t) is periodic.
Now, for signal
x2(t) = sin 5πt + 3 sin 13πt
Fundamental period of
x2′(t)=T2′ =
=
2

Fundamental period of
x2′′(t) T2′′ =
=

i.e., rational. Therefore, x2(t) is positive.
Hence, alternative (A) is the correct answer.
