Key: (A)
Exp: By looking to the plot we can say that since the initial slope is +20 there must be a zero on the
origin
If we find 2 we can get the

So the plot start at 00 and goes to 1800 through 900 Since there are 2 poles on origin we will get
2 radius semicircle those will start where the mirror image ends and will terminate where the
actual plot started in clockwise direction. So the plot will be

y(t) = cos t cos h()d
Thus the integration value will be an Eigen value .
Similarly consider the Eigen signal Z(t) = sin t
For sint, y(t)
sin(t-)h()d =sin t cos h()d cos t sin h()d
Thus y(t)= sin t cos h()d
Eigen value is same for both the Eigen functions sint & cost
