    =
    G(s)
    =
    2s2 + 6s + 5
    R(s)1 + G(s) H(s)(s + 1)2 (s + 2)

    C.E. = 1 + G(s) H(s) = (s + 1)2 (s + 2)

    G(s)
    =

    Given equation

    dy
    + 2y = 4t u(t)
    dt

    taking Laplace transform of the given equation
    sY(s) + 2Y(s) = 4/s2
    or
    Y (s) [s + 2] = 4/s2
    or
    Y(s) = 4/s2(s + 2)
    or
    Y(s) = – (1/s) + (2/s2) + 1/(s + 2)
    y(t) = – u(t) + 2tu(t) + e–2t
    Here the ramp component in the forced response is 2tu(t). Hence alternative (B) is the correct choice.

    Correct Option: B

    Given equation

    dy

    From figure we conclude at ω = 0·1.
    Slope is – 40 dB/dec, it means there are two poles at the origin.
    at ω = 2 gain is decay from – 40 dB/dec to – 60 dB/dec it means there is another pole at s = –2 or (s + 2).
    and at ω = 5 gain is increases from – 60 dB/dec to – 40 dB/dec, it means there is zero at s = – 5 or (s + 5) and finally another pole at s = –25 or (s + 25). so, the transfer function of the form

    G(s) =
    K(s + 5)
    s2(s + 2)(s + 25)


    Correct Option: D

    From figure we conclude at ω = 0·1.
    Slope is – 40 dB/dec, it means there are two poles at the origin.
    at ω = 2 gain is decay from – 40 dB/dec to – 60 dB/dec it means there is another pole at s = –2 or (s + 2).
    and at ω = 5 gain is increases from – 60 dB/dec to – 40 dB/dec, it means there is zero at s = – 5 or (s + 5) and finally another pole at s = –25 or (s + 25). so, the transfer function of the form

    K(s + 5)
    s2(s + 2)(s + 25)
