Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (A) $0<K<6$
Explanation
The cubic Routh first column is 1,3,(6−K)/3,K. Strict stability requires all four entries to be positive.
Thus K>0 and K<6. Equality at either endpoint puts roots on the imaginary axis, so the interval is open. The required range is **0<K<6, A**.
