  1. The maximum phase shift that can be obtained by using a lead compensator with transfer function
    G(s) =
    (1 + 0.15s)
    (1 + 0.05s)

    is equal to—
    1. 15°
    2. 30°
    3. 45°
    4. 60°
Correct Option: B

Given, G(s) =
(1 + 0·15s)
......…(i)
(1 + 0·05s)

In phase lead compensation.
Given, G(s) =
V0(s)
=
(1 + sT)
......…(ii)
Vi(s)(1 + sαT)

on comparing equations (i) and (ii), we have
T = 0·15
αT = 0·05
or
α = 0·05/0·15 = 1/3
Now,
sin φm =
1 – α
1 + α

where, φm is the maximum phase shift angle
or
sin φm =
1 – (1/3)
1 + (1/3)

or
sin φm = 2/4 = 1/2
or
φm = sin–1 (1/2) = 30°
Hence alternative (B) is the correct choice.
