Answer & Explanation
Correct AnswerA. E

Quick Explanation

The transformation x[m−n] is a reversal of the sample order followed by a shift. Neither operation changes the set of squared magnitudes being summed, so signal energy remains E. Hence option A is correct.

Formula / Key Relation

E=Σ|x[n]|²=Σ|x[m−n]|²

Detailed Explanation

Correct Answer

A — E

Concept and Reasoning

The transformation x[m−n] is a reversal of the sample order followed by a shift. Neither operation changes the set of squared magnitudes being summed, so signal energy remains E. Hence option A is correct.

Calculation / Key Relation

E=Σ|x[n]|²=Σ|x[m−n]|²

Exam Takeaway

Shift and time reversal preserve energy.

Common Mistake

Do not multiply energy by the shift index m; m changes sample location, not amplitude.

Quick Trick

Shift and time reversal preserve energy.

Common Mistake

Do not multiply energy by the shift index m; m changes sample location, not amplitude.

Exam Tip

Shift and time reversal preserve energy.
