    Here in the given block diagram there are two loop, on simplifying, we get

    C(s)
    =
    G1·G2
    R(s)(1 + G1H1) (1 + G2H2)

    =

    Given

    G(s) =
    1 - s
    s(s + 2)

    H (s) = 1
    T.F. =
    C(s)
    =

    C(s)

    R(s)s2 + 2s + 1 - s

    C(s)
    =
    1 - s

    the C.E. equation = s2 + s + 1
    R.H.C.
    s2 1 1
    s1 1 0
    s0 1
    since all the element in the first column are positive hence the system is stable. Alternative (A) is the correct answer.
    NOTE : In such type of questions on seeing first time it seems to be unstable system, as we realize that one zero in the R.H.S., so the system will be unstable, but actually not.

    Correct Option: A

    Given

    C(s)
    =
    1 -s/s(s + 2)
    R(s)1 + (1 - s)/s(s + 2)× 1

    C(s)

    R(s)s2 + 2s + 1 - s

    C(s)
