Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: 0.95 to 1.05
Explanation
The first summing junction forms $E=X-Y$ because the output feedback enters with a minus sign. The gain block produces $2E$.
At the second junction, the direct input X is added to that block output: $Y=2(X-Y)+X$. Collecting terms gives $3Y=3X$.
Hence **$Y/X=1$**, within the official interval 0.95–1.05.
