Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (C) $v_O=2.5v_S$
Explanation
The equal 2R input divider gives V+=vS/2, so feedback sets the inverting node to the same voltage vS/2.
Let the junction of the three upper R resistors be Vx. KCL at the inverting node gives $V_-/R+(V_--V_x)/R=0$, hence Vx=2V−=vS.
At Vx, KCL gives $(V_x-V_-)+V_x+(V_x-v_O)=0$. Therefore $v_O=3V_x-V_-=3v_S-v_S/2=$ **2.5vS, C**.
