Correct Answer :

7 sin(42πt)+ 4 cos(45πt)

Solution :

The correct option is: 7 sin(42πt) + 4 cos(45πt)

Here is the step-by-step mathematical explanation of why this is the correct output:

Step 1: Understand the Input Signal
The input signal is given as:
x(t)=2sin(10πt)+5cos(15πt)+7sin(42πt)+4cos(45πt)
This signal consists of four distinct frequency components with angular frequencies:
1. ω1=10π rad/s
2. ω2=15π rad/s
3. ω3=42π rad/s
4. ω4=45π rad/s

Step 2: Analyze the Impulse Response of the System
The impulse response of the LTI system is:
h(t)=2(sin(10πt)πt)cos(40πt)
Let us define a low-pass filter impulse response g(t) as:
g(t)=sin(10πt)πt
The Fourier transform of g(t), denoted as G(ω), represents an ideal brick-wall low-pass filter:
G(ω)={1,|ω|<10π0,|ω|>10π

Step 3: Apply the Modulation Property
Now, the impulse response can be written as:
h(t)=2g(t)cos(40πt)
Using the modulation property of the Fourier transform:
h(t)=2g(t)cos(ω0t)H(ω)=G(ω-ω0)+G(ω+ω0)
Here, ω0=40π rad/s. Thus, the frequency response of the system is:
H(ω)=G(ω-40π)+G(ω+40π)
Since G(ω) is a rectangular pulse from -10π to 10π, shifting it by ±40π creates a band-pass filter. The passband of this system is:
For positive frequencies: 40π-10π<ω<40π+10π30π<ω<50π
For negative frequencies: -50π<ω<-30π
So, the filter passes any frequency components whose angular frequency satisfies:
30π<|ω|<50π
with a gain of 1, and blocks all other frequencies (gain is 0).

Step 4: Evaluate Each Component of the Input Signal
Let us check which components fall inside the passband range (30π,50π):
1. For 2sin(10πt), ω=10π. Since 10π<30π, this component is blocked.
2. For 5cos(15πt), ω=15π. Since 15π<30π, this component is blocked.
3. For 7sin(42πt), ω=42π. Since 30π<42π<50π, this component is passed with a gain of 1.
4. For 4cos(45πt), ω=45π. Since 30π<45π<50π, this component is passed with a gain of 1.

Step 5: Write the Final Output Signal
Combining only the passed components, the output of the LTI system is:
y(t)=7sin(42πt)+4cos(45πt)
