    Given, K K1 = 99
    s = j1 it means ω = 1 rad/sec.
    We have to calculate sensitivity of closed loop system to variation in parameter K i.e.,

    SMK =
    ∂M/M
    ∂K/K

    =
    K
    ×
    ∂M
    M∂K

    or
    SMK =
    K
    ∂M
    G∂K

    Now,
    M =
    G(s)
    =
    K/(10s + 1)
    1 + G(s)H(s)(1 + KKt)/(10s + 1)

    or
    M =
    K
    (10s + 1+ KKt)

    ∂M
    =
    (10s + 1 + kkt)(∂/∂K).K - K (∂/∂K)(10s + 1 + kk1)
    ∂K(10s + 1 + KKt)

    or
    ∂M
    =
    10s + 1 + kkt - kkt
    ∂K(10s + 1 + KKt)2

    or
    ∂M
    =
    10s + 1
    ∂K(10s + 1 + KKt)2

    and SMK =
    K
    ×
    (10s + 1)
    K/(10s + 1 + kkt)(10s + 1 + kkt)2

    or
    or SMK =
    (10s + 1)
    (10s + 1 + kkt)

    or SMK =
    (10s + 1)
    10s + 1 + 99

    SMK =
    (10s + 1)
    10s (s + 10)

    or
    SMK =
    100ω2 + 1
    10√102ω2

    or
    SMK =
    100 + 1
    10√100 + 1

    or SMK = 0·1
    Hence alternative (B) is the correct choice.

    Correct Option: B

    Now,
    M =
    G(s)
    =
    K/(10s + 1)
    1 + G(s)H(s)(1 + KKt)/(10s + 1)

    or
    M =
    K
    (10s + 1+ KKt)

    ∂M
    =
    (10s + 1 + kkt)(∂/∂K).K - K (∂/∂K)(10s + 1 + kk1)
    ∂K(10s + 1 + KKt)

    or
    ∂M
    =
    10s + 1 + kkt - kkt
    ∂K(10s + 1 + KKt)2

    or
    ∂M
    =

    and SMK =
    K

    (10s + 1)
    K/(10s + 1 + kkt)(10s + 1 + kkt)2

    or
    or SMK =
    (10s + 1)
    (10s + 1 + kkt)

    or SMK =
    (10s + 1)
    10s + 1 + 99

    SMK =
    (10s + 1)
    10s (s + 10)

    or
    SMK =
    100ω2 + 1
    10√102ω2

    or
    SMK =
    100 + 1
    10√100 + 1

    or SMK = 0·1
    Hence alternative (B) is the correct choice.


  1. The state representation of a second order system is
    x1 = – x1 u, x2 = x1 – 2x2 + u
    Consider the following statements regarding the above system:
    1. The system is completely state controllable.
    2. If x1 is the output, then the system is completely output controllable.
    3. If x2 is the output, then the system is completely output controllable. Of these statements—
