  1. System represented by equations—
    (i) y[n] = anx[n]
    (ii) y[n] = ax[n – 1] + bx[n – 3]

    (i) y[n] = an x[n]
    F[x(n)] = an x[n]
    The response to a delayed excitation.
    F[x(n – n0)] = an[x(n – n0)] …(A)
    The delayed response is
    y[(n – n0)] = a[(n – n0) x(n – n0] …(B)
    Since F[x(n – n0)] ≠ y(n – n0)
    Hence, the system is not time invariant i.e., the system is time dependent.
    (ii) y[n] = ax[n – 1] + bx[n – 2]
    F[x(n)] = ax[n – 1] + bx[n – 2]
    The response to a delayed excitation
    F[x(n – n0)] = ax[n – n0 – 1] + bx[n – n0 – 2]
    The delayed response is
    y(n – n0) = ax[n – n0 – 1] + bx[n – n0 – 2]
    Since, F[n – n0] = y[n – n0]
    Therefore, the given system is time invariant.
    Hence, alternative (A) is the correct choice.

    Correct Option: A

    (i) y[n] = an x[n]
    F[x(n)] = an x[n]
    The response to a delayed excitation.
    F[x(n – n0)] = an[x(n – n0)] …(A)
    The delayed response is
    y[(n – n0)] = a[(n – n0) x(n – n0] …(B)
    Since F[x(n – n0)] ≠ y(n – n0)
    Hence, the system is not time invariant i.e., the system is time dependent.
    (ii) y[n] = ax[n – 1] + bx[n – 2]
    F[x(n)] = ax[n – 1] + bx[n – 2]
    The response to a delayed excitation
    F[x(n – n0)] = ax[n – n0 – 1] + bx[n – n0 – 2]
    The delayed response is
    y(n – n0) = ax[n – n0 – 1] + bx[n – n0 – 2]
    Since, F[n – n0] = y[n – n0]
    Therefore, the given system is time invariant.
    Hence, alternative (A) is the correct choice.

    Given that y[n] = n[x(n)]2
    First check for linearity
    F[x1(n)] = n[x1(n)]2
    and F[x2(n)] = n[x2(n)]2
    Therefore,
    F[x1(n)] + F[x2(n)] = n[{x2(n)}2 + {x2(n)}2]
    F[x1(n) + x2(n)] = n[x1(n) + x2(n)]2
    = n[{x2(n)}2 + {x2(n)}2 + 2x1(n) x2(n)]
    ∴ F[x1(n)] + F[x2(n)] ≠ F[x1(n) + x2(n)]
    These for the system is non-linear. Now, check for time variance.
    y[n] = n[x(n)]2
    The response of delayed excitation is
    F[x(n – n0)] = n[x(n – n0)2
    and the delayed response is
    y(n – n0)= (n – n0) [x(n – n0)]2
    Since, y(n – n0) ≠ F[x(n – n0)]
    Therefore, the system is time variant.
    Hence, alternative (D) is the correct choice.

    Correct Option: D

    Given that y[n] = n[x(n)]2
    First check for linearity
    F[x1(n)] = n[x1(n)]2
    and F[x2(n)] = n[x2(n)]2
    Therefore,
    F[x1(n)] + F[x2(n)] = n[{x2(n)}2 + {x2(n)}2]
    F[x1(n) + x2(n)] = n[x1(n) + x2(n)]2
    = n[{x2(n)}2 + {x2(n)}2 + 2x1(n) x2(n)]
    ∴ F[x1(n)] + F[x2(n)] ≠ F[x1(n) + x2(n)]
    These for the system is non-linear. Now, check for time variance.
    y[n] = n[x(n)]2
    The response of delayed excitation is
    F[x(n – n0)] = n[x(n – n0)2
    and the delayed response is
    y(n – n0)= (n – n0) [x(n – n0)]2
    Since, y(n – n0) ≠ F[x(n – n0)]
    Therefore, the system is time variant.
    Hence, alternative (D) is the correct choice.

    Given y(n) = a[x(n)]2 + bx(n)
    First check for linearity
    Since here,
    F[x1(n)] = a[x1(n)]2 + bx1(n)
    and F[x2(n)] = a[x2(n)]2 + bx2(n)
    ∴ F[x1(n)] = F[x2(n)]
    = a[{x2(n)}2 + {x2(n)2}] + b[x1(n) + x2(n)]
    Also, F[x1(n) + x2(n)]
    = a[x1(n) + x2(n)]2 + b[x1(n) + x2(n)]
    = a[{x1(n)}2 + {x2(n)}2 + 2x1(n) x2(n)] + bx1(n) + bx2(n)
    Since here,
    F[x1(n) + x2(n)] ≠ F[x1(n)] + F[x2(n)]
    Therefore, the system is non-linear.
    Check now for the time-in-variance.
    y(n) = a[x(n)]2 + bx(n)
    The response of delayed excitation is
    F[x(n – n0)] = a[x(n – n0)]2 + b[x(n – n0)]
    and the delayed response is
    y[(n – n0)] = a[x(n – n0)]2 + b[x(n – n0)]
    Since, y[(n – n0)] = F[x(n – n0)]
    Therefore, the system is time-invariant.
    Hence, alternative (C) is the correct choice.

    Correct Option: C

    Given y(n) = a[x(n)]2 + bx(n)
    First check for linearity
    Since here,
    F[x1(n)] = a[x1(n)]2 + bx1(n)
    and F[x2(n)] = a[x2(n)]2 + bx2(n)
    ∴ F[x1(n)] = F[x2(n)]
    = a[{x2(n)}2 + {x2(n)2}] + b[x1(n) + x2(n)]
    Also, F[x1(n) + x2(n)]
    = a[x1(n) + x2(n)]2 + b[x1(n) + x2(n)]
    = a[{x1(n)}2 + {x2(n)}2 + 2x1(n) x2(n)] + bx1(n) + bx2(n)
    Since here,
    F[x1(n) + x2(n)] ≠ F[x1(n)] + F[x2(n)]
    Therefore, the system is non-linear.
    Check now for the time-in-variance.
    y(n) = a[x(n)]2 + bx(n)
    The response of delayed excitation is
    F[x(n – n0)] = a[x(n – n0)]2 + b[x(n – n0)]
    and the delayed response is
    y[(n – n0)] = a[x(n – n0)]2 + b[x(n – n0)]
    Since, y[(n – n0)] = F[x(n – n0)]
    Therefore, the system is time-invariant.
    Hence, alternative (C) is the correct choice.

    (i) y(n)= 3x(n – 2) + 8x(n + 2)
    Here, y(n) is determined the past input samples value 3x(n – 2) and future input value 8x(n – 2) and hence the system is non-causal.
    (ii) y(n) = x(n – 1) + ax(n – 2)
    Here, y(n) is determined the past input samples value both for term x(n – 1) and ax(n – 2). Hence, the system is causal.
    (iii) y(n) = x(– n)
    Here, the input sample value is located on the negative time axis and for any negative value output depends on the future value. Hence, the system is non-causal.
    Hence, alternative (B) is the correct choice.
