Sol. 11 Option (A) is correct.
Gain margin is simply equal to the gain at phase cross over frequency ( wp ). Phase
cross over frequency is the frequency at which phase angle is equal to - 180c.
From the table we can see that +G (jwp) =- 180c, at which gain is 0.5.
GM = 20 log 10 e 1 = 20 log b 1 l = 6 dB
G (jwp) o 0.5
Phase Margin is equal to 180c plus the phase angle fg at the gain cross over
frequency ( wg ). Gain cross over frequency is the frequency at which gain is unity.
From the table it is clear that G (jwg) = 1, at which phase angle is - 150c
fPM = 180c + +G (jwg) = 180 - 150 = 30c

2. Slope changes from - 60 dB/dec to - 40 dB/dec at w2 = 5 rad/sec., so at
this frequency there is a zero lying in the system function.
