8. A train that is 280 metres long, travelling at a uniform speed, crosses a platform in 60 seconds
and passes a man standing on the platform in 20 seconds. What is the length of the platform
in metres?
Answer: 560
Exp: For a train to cross a person, it takes 20 seconds for its 280m.
So, for second 60 seconds. Total distance travelled should be 840. Including 280 train length
so length of plates =840-280=560

Exp: Assume x [ n ] to be periodic, (with period N)
⇒ x [n ] = x [n + N]
⇒ sin ( π 2 n ) = sin ( π2 ( n + N ) )
Every frigonometric function repeate after 2π interval.
⇒ sin ( π2 n + 2πk ) = sin ( π 2 h + π 2 N )
2k
⇒ 2πk = π2 N ⇒ N =
π
Since ‘k’ is any integer, there is no possible value of ‘k’ for which ‘N’ can be an integer, thus
non-periodic.
18. Consider two real valued signals, x(t) band-limited to [ −500 Hz, 500 Hz ] and y ( t ) band-
limited to [ −1kHz, 1kHz ] . For z ( t ) = x ( t ) . y ( t ) , the Nyquist sampling frequency (in kHz) is
__________
Answer: 3
Exp: x ( t ) is band limited to [ −500Hz, 500Hz ]
y ( t ) is band limited to [ −1000Hz, 1000Hz ]
z ( t ) = x ( t ) .y ( t )
Multiplication in time domain results convolution in frequency domain.
The range of convolution in frequency domain is [ −1500Hz, 1500 Hz ]
So maximum frequency present in z(t) is 1500Hz Nyquist rate is 3000Hz or 3 kHz
