The task is to draw a signal flow graph for a control system based on a given block diagram and calculate the transfer function \( C/R \) using Mason's Gain Formula.

### Block Diagram Description:

- **Inputs and Outputs:**
  - The system begins with an input \( R \) which leads to the output \( C \).

- **Blocks:**
  - The blocks represent system components with specific transfer functions labeled as \( a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, \) and \( j \).

- **Connections:**
  - The input \( R \) passes through block \( a \) and then encounters a summing junction which receives additional feedbacks.
  - The signal then proceeds through blocks \( c, b, i, j \), and \( f \) sequentially with intermediate feedback and feedforward paths intersecting.
  - From block \( i \), a feedback path feeds back into the summing junction before block \( c \).
  - After block \( j \), the output branches into two paths: one proceeds to block \( f \) and then to \( g \), and the other feeds into block \( h \).
  - Outputs of blocks \( g \) and \( d \) go into a summing junction leading to the final system output \( C \).
  - Feedback is provided from the output \( C \) back to the input summing point via block \( e \).

### Instructions for Constructing the Signal Flow Graph:

1. **Nodes:**
   - Create nodes for each junction/interconnection in the diagram.

2. **Branches:**
   - Draw directed branches for each signal path between nodes.
   - Label each branch with the corresponding transfer function block (i.e., \( a, b, c, \) etc.).

3. **Loops and Paths:**
   - Identify and label forward paths from \( R \) to \( C \).
   - Identify any loops and their respective gains for applying Mason's Gain Formula.

### Mason’s Gain Formula:

To determine the transfer function \( \frac{C}{R} \), use Mason's Gain Formula:

\[
T = \frac{1}{\Delta} \sum_{k=1}^{N} P_k \Delta_k
\]

Where:
- \( T \) is the overall system gain.
- \( P_k \) is the gain of the kth forward path.
