Answer is (b)
Explanation:Stability can be seen from Characteristic Equation:If in the polynomial equation there is a discontinuity of powers(exponent) of the variable, then the System is Considered UNSTABLE
In Option (b) this is evident $s^3+2s^2+2=0$

Explanation : Construct Roth's array:
$$ \begin{array}{c|lcr} n & \text{Left} & \text{Center} & \text{Right} \\ \hline s^{4} & 1 & 1 & 1 \\ s^{3} & K & 1 & \\ s^{2} & {K-1 \over K} & 1 & \\ s^{1} & {K-1 - K^{2} \over K} & & \\ s^{0} & 1 \end{array} $$ For stability of system $ \left. \begin{array}{l} \ K >0 & \\ \frac{K}{K-1} > 0 & \\ \end{array} \right\} $ = K>1 also , by substituting K > 1 in equation $ frac{K-1-K^{2}}{K-1} > 0 $, the equation gives negative value.Since all three conditions cannot be satisfied simultaneously.Hence (d).


CS.22) A second order system exibhits 100% overshoot.It's damping coefficient is
(a)0
(b)1
(c)< 1
(d)> 1

Answer is (a)
Explanation:For a second order system , Peak OverShoot is $M_p = 100 $ %
$M_p = e^{\frac{-\zeta}{\sqrt{1-\zeta^2}}}$
$e^{\frac{-\zeta}{\sqrt{1-\zeta^2}}} = 100% = 1 $
Taking Logarithm on both sides,$\frac{-\zeta}{\sqrt{1-\zeta^2}} = ln(1) = 0$
This implies, $\zeta = 0$
This indicates no damping

CS.23) The log magnitude curve for a constant gain K is a
(a) horizontal straight line
(b) horizontal straight line of magnitude 20logK decibels
(c) an inclined line having slope K
(d) an inclined line having slope -K

Answer is ( )

CS.24) The closed loop transfer function of a control system is given as $T(s)= \frac{s-5}{(s+2)(s+3)}$.This is
(a) an unstable system
(b) an uncontrollable system
(c) a minimum phase system
(d) a non-minimum phase system

Answer is (d)
All poles are on right side.But, the zero is on the right half zero.Hence,its a non-minimum phase system

CS.25) The transfer function of a system is $T(s)=\frac{5}{(s+3)(s+6)}$.The damping ratio and natural frequency are respectively
(a) 4.24,2.12 rad/s
(b) 2.12,4.24 rad/s
(c) 4.24,1.06 rad/s
(d) 1.06,4.24 rad/s

Answer is (d)
The transfer function of a system is $T(s) = \frac{5}{s^2 + 9s +18}$
Characteristic Eqn. $s^2 + 9s +18 = 0$ STANDARD Characteristic Eqn. $s^2 + 2\zeta\omega_n s + \omega_n^{2} = 0$
Comparing both Std & Characteristic Characteristic Eqn. gives $\omega_n^{2} = 18$
$2\zeta\omega_n = 9$ .On Solving , $\omega_n = 4.24$ rad/sec & $\zeta = 1.06$

CS.26) A system with zero initial conditions has the closed loop transfer function $ T(s) =s^2 + \frac{4}{(s+1)(s+4)}$.The system output is zero at the frequency______rad/s
(a) 2
(b) 1
(c) 0
(d) none of above

Answer is (a)
The transfer function of system is $T(s) = \frac{s^2+4}{(s+1)(s+4)} $
$T(j\omega) = \frac{(j\omega)^{2}+4}{(j\omega+1)(j\omega+4)} $
If system output is zero, $|T(j\omega)| = \frac{|4-\omega^2|}{|(j\omega+4)(j\omega+1|} = 0 $
$ - \omega^2 + 4 = 0, \omega = 2 rad/sec $

CS.27)In Bode diagram (log magnitude plot) the factor (1/j$\omega$) in the transfer function gives a line having slope
(a) -20 dB per octave
(b) -10 dB per octave
(c) -6 dB per octave
(d) -2 dB per octave

Answer is ( )

CS.28)A system has position error constant $K_p = 3$. The steady error for input of 8tu(t) is
(a) 2.67
(b) 2
(c) $\infty$
(d) 0

Answer is (c)
Positional Error Constant $K_p = 3$ , Input Signal = $r(t) = 8tu(t)$
$R(s) = \frac{8}{s^2}$ , Input signal is Ramp type, velocity error constant $K_v = 0$
Steady State Error $e_ss = 1/K_v = \infty$
