95. In a closed loop system, the process to be controlled is an integrating process with transfer function 1/2s. The controller proposed to be used in an integral controller with transfer function 1/T1s. When a step change in set point is applied to such a closed loop system, the controlled variable will exhibit

  2. Underdamped response
  3. Undamped response
  4. Unstable response

Correct answer: (B)
Underdamped response

96. In a feed-back control system G and H denote open loop and close loop transfer functions respectively. The output-input relationship is

  2. H/(1 + G)
  3. G/H
  4. H/G

Correct answer: (B)
H/(1 + G)

97. In a second order under damped system, the

  1. Time required for the response of first reach its ultimate value is called the response time
  2. Overshoot (which is a measure of how much the response exceeds the ultimate value) increase with the decrease of damping co-efficient
  3. Decay ratio (which is the ratio of the sizes of successive peaks) is equal to the reciprocal of overshoot
  4. None of these

Correct answer: (B)
Overshoot (which is a measure of how much the response exceeds the ultimate value) increase with the decrease of damping co-efficient
