First column elements of Routh's tabulation are 3, 5,
, 2. It means that there

Answer: Option
Explanation:
Since there are two sign changes in the first column, hence two roots in right half plane.

If there is negative sign in Routh's tabulation system became unstable. It means roots are at right half of s-plane. But here only one negative sign how two roots in right half s-plane?

You have to look at sign CHANGES!

As root +5 changes to -3/4, here one sign change takes place and again from -3/4 to +1/2 second sign change occurs so there are two roots in the right half of s-plane.

I think both the second and third options are correct.
Because: the first column has (3, 5, -3/4, 1/2, 2), these are 5 elements, that means the characteristic equation is in the 4th order (S^4), so it has 4 poles, and since there are two sign changes, there are two poles in the right-half S plane, and the other two poles are in the left-half S plane, so both second and third options are correct.
