A unity feedback control system is characterized by the open-loop transfer function $$G\left( s \right) = \frac{{10k\left( {s + 2} \right)}}{{{s^3} + 3{s^2} + 10}}.$$    The Nyquist path and the corresponding Nyquist plot of G(s) are shown in the figure below.
If 0 < k < 1, then the number of poles of the closed–loop transfer function that lie in the right-half of the s-plane is

In root locus analysis the breakaway and break in points

A. lie on the real axis

C. Always occur in complex conjugate pairs

D. None of the above

Lag compensation permits a high gain at low frequencies.

A. True

B. False

The complicated shapes in the polar plots are only due to time constants in the numerator of transfer functions.

A. True

B. False

Which of the following features is not associated with Nichols chart?

A. (0 dB, -180°) point on Nichols chart represent critical Point (-1, 0)

B. It is symmetric about -180°

C. M loci are centred about (0 dB, -180°) point

D. The frequency at intersection of G (j$$\omega $$) locus and M = +3 dB locus gives bandwidth of closed loop system
