I'm getting right answer for 1st part. For second part book says right answer is C.
Where am I wrong?[/B]

First you calculate x(t) by inverse Fourier tansform then by substituting t=-t and t=-t-1 you will get the result
 
So as per rules
if f(t)----> Fourier---> F(jw)
then f(t-to) ----> estoF(jw)
So then if there is now any more x(3(t-to)) then does the change reflect in esto also or is that a constant and only F(jw) becomes 1/|a| F(jw/a)?
 
This is what I tried for second part. But book answer is c

Yes you can apply this property. i told you in previous post to recheck ur answer by that method.
 
Thanks. But I don't know how to use inverse Fourier method. What answer are you getting? B or C?
It could be book answer is wrong.

I wanted to ask a doubt on fourier?
If we have to use time shift property followed by time scaling property then does the exponential part also change?

I can't find any solved examples. In laplace there were a few unsolved examples but then my answer matched when I didn't consider e^(-Ts) as part of new F(S). As in the second circle drawn above.

Just multiply by e^-jw to the answer you got in previous problem.In only time shift exponential term come you can do it by simple integration
 
That gives answer but should it be e^-jw or e^(+jw)
since x(-t-1) = x(-(t+1))
So I'm not sure how to go ahead with this. Should it be +jw or -jw?

-Jw

In original post I've used time shift property first and then time scaling. Can u help me as to why I'm not getting right answer there? I've pasted pic.

You have done right but you choose option b and option b is not matching to you result may be in option c there is print mistake with minus sing in first term.
