Consider a system where
, and
are three internal state signals and
is the input signal. The differential equations governing the system are given by
Which of the following statements is/are TRUE?
The signals
, and
are bounded for all bounded inputs
There exists a bounded input such that at least one of the signals
,
, and
is unbounded
There exists a bounded input such that the signals
, and
are unbounded
The signals
, and
are unbounded for all bounded inputs

Option (A), If
bounded input
Say
unit step function, 
False, statement.
Option (B), As check above for bounded i/p of unit step function,
are unbounded.
Hence, True statement.
Option (C), if u(t) is bounded, then all poles of
will lies in LHS of
-plane.
Thus, all poles of
will also lies in LHS of s-plane.
For
bounded,
always bounded.
False, statement.
option (D), As check above, if
always bounded,
then
also always bounded.
Hence, option (b) is correct.
