b) At B machine can be operated in Open loop only & At A machine can be operated
in Closed loop only.

c) At A machine can be operated in Open loop/Closed loop & At B machine can be

operated in Closed loop only.

d) At B machine can be operated in Open loop/Closed loop & At A machine can be

operated in Closed loop only.

Answer: (C)

 If there is a perturbation and operating point moves from A to A’ it will again

come back to A as it is a stable region. So at A machine can be operated in
Open loop/Closed loop.
 If there is a perturbation and operating point moves from A to A” it will again
come back to A as it is a stable region. So at A machine can be operated in
Open loop/Closed loop.
 If there is a perturbation and operating point moves from B to B’ it will not
come back to B as it is an unstable region. So at B machine can be operated in
Closed loop only.
 If there is a perturbation and operating point moves from B to B’ it will not
come back to B as it is an unstable region. So at B machine can be operated in
Closed loop only.
