A. 124 124 B. 176 176 C. 248 248 D. 312 312

सही उत्तर: B Correct Answer: B

The semiaxes are 2, 3 and 7. Thus volume = (4/3)pi(2)(3)(7) = 56pi, approximately 176.

A. -1/2 -1/2 B. 1/2 1/2 C. -1 -1 D. 1 1

सही उत्तर: C Correct Answer: C

For a polar curve, dy/dx = (r' sin(omega) + r cos(omega))/(r' cos(omega) - r sin(omega)), where r' here denotes dr/domega. Substituting r = 1 + sin(omega) at omega = pi/3 gives -1.

A. x^2 i x^2 i B. 2xy i + (x^2 - 3y^2) j 2xy i + (x^2 - 3y^2) j C. x i + (x^2 - y^2) j x i + (x^2 - y^2) j D. (x^3 - y^2) j (x^3 - y^2) j

सही उत्तर: B Correct Answer: B

The partial derivatives are f_x = 2xy and f_y = x^2 - 3y^2. Hence grad f = 2xy i + (x^2 - 3y^2)j.

सही उत्तर: C Correct Answer: C

grad f = (sin(yz), xz cos(yz), xy cos(yz)). At (1,3,0), this becomes (0,0,3).

A. For two random variables X and Y, Cov(X,Y)=0 implies that X and Y are independent. For two random variables X and Y, Cov(X,Y)=0 implies that X and Y are independent. B. If V(X)=0, then P(X=0)=1. If V(X)=0, then P(X=0)=1. C. Let F be the distribution function of a random variable. Then lim as n approaches infinity of F(x + 1/n) always exists. Let F be the distribution function of a random variable. Then lim as n approaches infinity of F(x + 1/n) always exists. D. If P(X <= 100)=1, then E(X) always exists. If P(X <= 100)=1, then E(X) always exists.

सही उत्तर: C Correct Answer: C

A distribution function is right-continuous, so F(x+1/n) approaches F(x). The other statements are not true in general.

सही उत्तर: C Correct Answer: C

For option C, |5x^2y/(x^2+y^2)| <= 5|y|, which tends to zero. The other expressions have different limits along different coordinate directions.

A. The eigenvectors of A are orthogonal to each other. The eigenvectors of A are orthogonal to each other. B. All the eigenvalues are positive. All the eigenvalues are positive. C. 0 cannot be an eigenvalue of A. 0 cannot be an eigenvalue of A. D. tr(A) = sum from i=1 to n of a_ii is not equal to 0. tr(A) = sum from i=1 to n of a_ii is not equal to 0.
