( B)

(C) (1t I 2 -

$z

i1 (t )=I,. sin (rot - cJt) ,

$z)

(D)

Exp:- I(t) = Im sin (rot- cr1 )

Im cos[90- (rot- r1 )] = Im cos (rot- 4\ - 90)

lx (t) = Im cos( rot- cjl2 )

Angle difference between two currents should be - 180 (or) 180 for bala need
- cjll + cjl2- 90 = -180 ~ cjll = 90 + cjl2

(A) time-invariant and stable
(C) time-invariant and not stable

(B) stable and not time-invariant

(D) not time-Invariant and not stable

Answer:- (B)
t

Exp:- y(t) =

f X('t)cos(3't)d't

Since y(t) and x(t) are related with some function of time, so they are not timeinvariant.
Let x(t) be bounded to some finite value k.

y(t) =

f Kcos(3't)d't <
