A. The composite of two continuous functions is also continuous. The composite of two continuous functions is also continuous. B. Let f(x + iy) = u(x,y) + iv(x,y). If u and v both have continuous partial derivatives with respect to x and y at (x0,y0), then f is also differentiable at (x0,y0). Let f(x + iy) = u(x,y) + iv(x,y). If u and v both have continuous partial derivatives with respect to x and y at (x0,y0), then f is also differentiable at (x0,y0). C. If f is analytic at all points interior to and on a simple closed contour C, then the integral of f(z) dz over C is 0. If f is analytic at all points interior to and on a simple closed contour C, then the integral of f(z) dz over C is 0. D. If f is a continuous function defined on domain D, then the integral of f(z) dz from z1 to z2, where z1 and z2 lie in D, is the same along all contours connecting z1 and z2 and lying entirely in D. If f is a continuous function defined on domain D, then the integral of f(z) dz from z1 to z2, where z1 and z2 lie in D, is the same along all contours connecting z1 and z2 and lying entirely in D.

सही उत्तर: B Correct Answer: B

Continuity of the first partial derivatives of u and v alone does not ensure complex differentiability; the Cauchy-Riemann equations must also hold at the point. Option B is the answer marked in the source paper.

A. (13 - 3sqrt(3))/2 (13 - 3sqrt(3))/2 B. 10 10 C. 3sqrt(3) 3sqrt(3) D. 0 0

सही उत्तर: A Correct Answer: A

At (1,2), grad f = (3x^2 - 3y, -3x + 8y) = (-3,13). Dotting it with (cos(pi/6), sin(pi/6)) gives (13 - 3sqrt(3))/2.

If x(t) denotes the number of susceptibles and y(t) denotes the number of infectives at time t, in a homogeneous group of (n + 1) individuals, the simple epidemic model without removal is given by the equation (where beta > 0 is the contact rate): If x(t) denotes the number of susceptibles and y(t) denotes the number of infectives at time t, in a homogeneous group of (n + 1) individuals, the simple epidemic model without removal is given by the equation (where beta > 0 is the contact rate):

A. dx/dt = beta x(n - 1 + x) dx/dt = beta x(n - 1 + x) B. dx/dt = -beta x(n + 1 - x) dx/dt = -beta x(n + 1 - x) C. dx/dt = -beta x(n - 1 + x) dx/dt = -beta x(n - 1 + x) D. dx/dt = beta x(n + 1 - x) dx/dt = beta x(n + 1 - x)

सही उत्तर: B Correct Answer: B

With no removal, x + y = n + 1 and susceptibles decrease at rate dx/dt = -beta xy. Substituting y = n + 1 - x gives dx/dt = -beta x(n + 1 - x).

Advanced Mathematics • Partial Differential Equations

The steady-state solution mu(x,t) = mu_s(x) of the heat equation mu_t = a^2 mu_xx satisfying the conditions mu(0,t) = -1 and mu(2,t) = 1 is: The steady-state solution mu(x,t) = mu_s(x) of the heat equation mu_t = a^2 mu_xx satisfying the conditions mu(0,t) = -1 and mu(2,t) = 1 is:

A. mu_s(x) = 1 - x mu_s(x) = 1 - x B. mu_s(x) = -1 + x mu_s(x) = -1 + x C. mu_s(x) = -1 + 3x mu_s(x) = -1 + 3x D. mu_s(x) = 1 + 2x mu_s(x) = 1 + 2x

सही उत्तर: B Correct Answer: B

At steady state, mu_xx = 0, so mu_s(x) = Ax + B. The boundary values give B = -1 and A = 1; hence mu_s(x) = -1 + x.

A. A field (F, +, .) always has a multiplicative identity. A field (F, +, .) always has a multiplicative identity. B. M_nxn(R), the space of all n x n real-valued matrices under matrix addition and multiplication, forms an integral domain.

The set of complex numbers forms an algebraically closed field. D. For a group (G, .), the identity element is always unique. For a group (G, .), the identity element is always unique.

सही उत्तर: B Correct Answer: B

For n greater than 1, the ring of n x n real matrices has zero divisors and is noncommutative, so it is not an integral domain.

Consider a variable mu satisfying d^2(mu)/d(theta)^2 + mu = 2k cos(theta), with the conditions: (i) mu has the same value when theta = plus or minus pi/2; and (ii) integral from 0 to pi/2 of mu d(theta) = 0.

A. mu = k(theta sin(theta) + cos(theta)) mu = k(theta sin(theta) + cos(theta)) B. mu = k(sin(theta) + theta cos(theta)) mu = k(sin(theta) + theta cos(theta)) C. mu = k(theta sin(theta) - cos(theta)) mu = k(theta sin(theta) - cos(theta)) D. mu = k(sin(theta) - theta cos(theta)) mu = k(sin(theta) - theta cos(theta))

सही उत्तर: C Correct Answer: C

Substitution shows that k theta sin(theta) is a particular solution. Applying the two stated conditions to the complementary terms gives mu = k(theta sin(theta) - cos(theta)).
