A PD controller with transfer function Gc is used to stabilize an open-loop unstable process with transfer function Gp, where

Gc = Kc [(τDs + 1) / ((τD/20)s + 1)],   Gp = 1 / [(s − 1)(10s + 1)]

and time is in minutes. From the necessary conditions for closed-loop stability, the maximum feasible value of τD, in minutes, rounded off to 1 decimal place, is _________

Correct : 0.67
