Multiple choice

The state variable description of an LTI system is given by $ \left( \begin{array} x_1 \\ x_2 \\ x_3 \end{array} \right) $= $ \left( \begin{array} \ 0&a_1&0\\ 0&0&a_2\\ a_3&0&0 \end{array} \right) $$ \left( \begin{array} \ x_1\\ x_2\\ x_3 \end{array} \right) $+ $ \left( \begin{array} \ 0\\ 0\\ 1 \end{array} \right) u $ y = (1 0 0) $ \left( \begin{array} \ x_1\\ x_2\\ x_3 \end{array} \right) $ Where y is output and u is the input. The system is controllable for

  1. a1 $\ne$0, a2 = 0, a3 $\ne$0
  2. a1 = 0, a2 $\ne$0, a3 $\ne$0
  3. a1 = 0, a2 $\ne$0, a3 = 0
  4. a1 $\ne$ 0, a2 $\ne$0, a3 = 0
