Consider a system represented by the block diagram shown below. Which of the following signal flow graphs represent(s) this system? Choose the correct option(s).
Show Hint
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Understand the block diagram. The system consists of two blocks \( G_1 \) and \( G_2 \), where the feedback path comes from the output \( Y(s) \) that goes to \( G_1 \), and the output from both \( G_1 \) and \( G_2 \) contribute to \( Y(s) \).
Step 2: Identify the corresponding signal flow graph. The system has a feedback loop, where the output \( Y(s) \) feeds back into \( G_1 \). This is correctly represented by option (B), where \( G_1 \) has feedback from the output \( Y(s) \). Thus, the correct answer is (B).
