  1. The open-loop transfer function with unity feedback are given below for different systems
    1. G(s) =
    2
    s + 2

    2. G(s) =
    2
    s(s + 2)

    3. G(s) =
    2
    s2(s + 2)

    4. G(s) =
    2(s + 1)
    s(s + 2)

    Among these systems, the unstable system is—
    1. 1
    2. 2
    3. 3
    4. 4
Correct Option: C

In order to check the stability of the system, apply R.H.C.
Given
H(s) = 1
For 1st system

G(s) =
2
(s + 2)

C.E. = 1 + G(s) H(s) = 1 +
2
1 = s + 4 = 0 stable
s + 2

For 2nd system
G(s) = 1
2
s(s + 2)

C.E. = 1 + G(s) H(s) = 0
= 1 +
2
. 1 = s2 + 2s + 2 = 0
s(s + 2)

s2 1 2
s1 2 0
s0 3
Hence system is stable.
for 3rd system
G(s) =
2
s2(s + 2)

C.E. = 1 + G(s) H(s) = 0
1 +
1
. 1 = s3 + 2s2 + 2 = 0
s(s + 2)

From this expression we see that there is one missing form (i.e., s).
Hence the system is unstable.
