Question 1 Explanation: 
Given, W^{T}=1

\left[\begin{array}{lll}1 & 2 & 3\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{l}x \\ y \\ z\end{array}\right]=1

We have, vector normal to the plane =\nabla F
\begin{aligned} & =i \frac{\partial F}{\partial x}+\hat{j} \frac{\partial F}{\partial y}+\hat{k} \frac{\partial F}{\partial z} \\ & =\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k} \end{aligned}

\therefore Normal vector =\left[\begin{array}{lll}1 & 2 & 3\end{array}\right]^{T}
Question 2
For the block diagrm shown in the figure, the transfer function \frac{Y(s)}{R(s)} is

A
\frac{2 s+3}{s+1}
B
\frac{3 s+2}{s-1}
C
\frac{s+1}{3 \mathrm{~s}+2}
D
\frac{3 s+2}{s+1}

Question 2 Explanation: 
Signal flow graph:

Forward paths,

\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{P}_{1}=3, \quad \Delta_{1}=1 \\ & \mathrm{P}_{2}=\frac{2}{\mathrm{~S}}, \Delta_{2}=1 \end{aligned}

Loops: L_1=\frac{1}{S}

Using Masson's graph formula,

\begin{aligned} \frac{Y(s)}{R(s)} & =\frac{P_{1} \Delta_{1}+P_{1} \Delta_{2}}{1-L_{1}} \\ & =\frac{3+\frac{2}{S}}{1-\frac{1}{S}} \\ & =\frac{3 S+2}{S-1} \end{aligned}


Question 3
In the Nyquist plot of the open-loop transfer function

\mathrm{G}(\mathrm{s}) \mathrm{H}(\mathrm{s})=\frac{3 \mathrm{~s}+5}{\mathrm{~s}-1}

corresponding to the feedback loop shown in the figure, the infinite semi-circular arc of the Nyquist contour in s-plane is mapped into a point at

A
\mathrm{G}(\mathrm{s}) \mathrm{H}(\mathrm{s})=\infty
B
\mathrm{G}(\mathrm{s}) \mathrm{H}(\mathrm{s})=0
C
\mathrm{G}(\mathrm{s}) \mathrm{H}(\mathrm{s})=3

\begin{aligned} \mathrm{G}(\mathrm{s}) \mathrm{H}(\mathrm{s}) & =\frac{3 \mathrm{~s}+5}{\mathrm{~s}-1} \\ \text { Put } \quad \mathrm{s} & =R e^{j \theta} \\ \mathrm{G}(\mathrm{s}) \mathrm{H}(\mathrm{s}) & =\operatorname{Lim}_{R \rightarrow \infty} \frac{3 R e^{j \theta}+5}{\operatorname{Re}^{j \theta}-1} \\ \mathrm{G}(\mathrm{s}) \mathrm{H}(\mathrm{s}) & =3 \end{aligned}

Question 4 Explanation: 
Given plant:

So, \quad OLTF =\frac{(3 s+1)}{s(s-1)}

Closed loop transfer function,
\begin{aligned} \frac{Y(s)}{R(s)} & =\frac{3 s+1}{s^{2}+2 s+1} \\ Y(s) & =\frac{3 s+1}{s\left(s^{2}+2 s+1\right)} \quad\left[\because R(s)=\frac{1}{s}\right] \end{aligned}

Final value of plant,
Y(\infty)=\operatorname{Lims}_{s \rightarrow 0} Y(s)=1

From plant,
\begin{aligned} X(\mathrm{~s}) & =\left[\mathrm{R}(\mathrm{s})-\frac{\mathrm{X}(\mathrm{s})}{\mathrm{s}-1}\right]\left(3+\frac{1}{\mathrm{~s}}\right) \\ X(\mathrm{~s})\left[1+\frac{3 \mathrm{~s}+1}{\mathrm{~s}(\mathrm{~s}-1)}\right] & =\left(\frac{3 \mathrm{~s}+1}{\mathrm{~s}^{2}}\right)\left[\because \mathrm{R}(\mathrm{s})=\frac{1}{\mathrm{~s}}\right] \\ X(\mathrm{~s})\left[\frac{\mathrm{s}^{2}+2 s+1}{\mathrm{~s}(\mathrm{~s}-1)}\right] & =\left(\frac{3 \mathrm{~s}+1}{\mathrm{~s}^{2}}\right) \\ \Rightarrow \quad X(\mathrm{~s}) & =\frac{(3 \mathrm{~s}+1)(\mathrm{s}-1)}{\mathrm{s}\left(\mathrm{s}^{2}+2 \mathrm{~s}+1\right)} \end{aligned}

\therefore Final value of controller,
x(\infty)=\operatorname{LimsX}_{s \rightarrow 0} \mathrm{~s}(\mathrm{~s})=-1
