The close loop transfer function of for a unity feedback system is \(C(s)/R(s) = K/(s^2 + 4s + K)\).

The correct statement is:

  • A.for K = 4, both the roots are repetitive and s1 = s2 = −2 as at same point
  • B.for K = 4, both the roots are non-repetitive
  • C.for K = 4, both the roots on imaginary axis as at same point
  • D.for K = 4, both the roots are repetitive and s1 = s2 = −6 as at same point

Answer: A

The characteristic equation of the closed loop system is \(s^2 + 4s + K = 0\), with roots


\[ s = \frac{-4 \pm \sqrt{16 - 4K}}{2} \]


For \(K = 4\) the discriminant is zero, so


\[ s_1 = s_2 = -2 \]


The roots are real and equal (repeated), at the same point \(-2\) on the negative real axis, and the system is critically damped. The roots are not on the imaginary axis, which would need no \(s\) term, and the value \(-6\) in the last option is wrong. The answer is option A.
