The answer is selection: a) 5

Explanation:

The general equation for a positive feedback system is:

A_"c" = A_"ol"/(1 - betaA_"ol")" [1]"

Where A_"c" is the closed loop gain, A_"ol" is open loop gain, and, beta is the gain of the feedback circuit.

We are given that A_"c" = 10

And the phrase; "10% positive feedback" implies that beta = 0.1

Substitute these values into equation [1] and solve for A_"ol":

10 = A_"ol"/(1- 0.1A_"ol")

10(1- 0.1A_"ol") = A_"ol"

10- A_"ol" = A_"ol"

2A_"ol"=10

A_"ol" = 5

The answer is selection: a) 5
