  1. A system is represented by
    dy
    + 2y = 4t u(t)
    dt

    The ramp component in the forced response will be—
    1. t u (t)
    2. 2t u (t)
    3. 3t u (t)
    4. 4t u (t)
Correct Option: B

Given equation

dy
+ 2y = 4t u(t)
dt

taking Laplace transform of the given equation
sY(s) + 2Y(s) = 4/s2
or
Y (s) [s + 2] = 4/s2
or
Y(s) = 4/s2(s + 2)
or
Y(s) = – (1/s) + (2/s2) + 1/(s + 2)
y(t) = – u(t) + 2tu(t) + e–2t
Here the ramp component in the forced response is 2tu(t). Hence alternative (B) is the correct choice.
