Phase cross-over frequency for the given transfer function
G(s)H(s) = 1 s(s + 1)(s + 0·5)
∠G(s H(s) = – 90° – tan–1(ω/1) – tan–1(ω/0.5)

K = 1012/20
or K = 3·98 ≈ 4
one pole atω = 100
i.e., (1 + sT),
where
T0 = 1/ω = 1/100
(1 + 0·01s)
Hence transfer function, G(s) H(s) = 4/1 + 0·01s
Hence alternative (C) is the correct choice.
