2. Let f(x) = (x – 2)17 (x + 5)24. Then
(a) f does not have a critical point at 2
(b) f has a minimum at 2
(c) f has a maximum at 2
(d) f has neither a minimum nor a maximum at x = 2
Ans. (d)
Sol. = 17 (x – 2)16 (x + 5)24 + (x – 2)17. 24(x + 5)23
= (x – 2)16 (x + 5)23 (17x + 85 + 24x – 48)
= (x – 2)16 (x + 5)23 (41x + 37)
= 41(x – 2)16 (x + 5)23 (x +37 / 41)
Clearly, does not change sign as we pass through x = 2 as (x – 2) has an even index. Hence, f has neither a minimum nor a maximum at x = 2.

(a) din N(T) = 2
(b) din R(T) = 2
(c) R(T) = N(T)
(d) N(T) R(T)
Ans. (a)
Sol. Consider T (x1, x2, x3) = (x1 – x2, x1 – x2, 0), for nullity T(x1, x2, x3) = (0, 0, 0)
(x1 – x2, x1 – x2, 0) = (0, 0, 0)
x1 – x2 = 0
(x1 = x2)
So null space N(T) = (x1, x1, x3), consider x1(1,1,0) + x3(0,0,t) = 0 x1 = x3 = 0
(1, 1, 0) and (0, 0, 1) is linearly independent and span of N(T).

Sol. This equation is homogeneous
Differential equation becomes
(D1(D1 – 1) + kD + 1) y = 0 (D12 + (k – 1)D1 + 1)y = 0 … (1)
It's solution is given y = (C1 + C2 ln x) /x, z = log x, x = ez
y = (C1 + C2z)e–z
So this solution tells that it have two equal real root that is –1.
Complementary function CF
(D1 + 1)2 = 0
D12 + 2D1 + 1 = 0
From (1) and (2)
(k – 1) = 2 k = 3.

(a) 0
(b) 1
(c) 2

Ans. (d)
Sol. A and B are 3 × 3 matrix, then AB is 3 × 3 matrix
but rank (AB) = 1 | AB | = 0 (by definition)
| A || B | = 0, so at least | A | or | B | should be zero so | BA | = | B || A | = 0
If | BA | = 0 and BA is 3 × 3 matrix rank (BA) cannot be 3.

(a) linear and of first order
(b) linear and of second order

x2 + a2 – 2ax + y2 = a2 x2 + y2 – 2ax = 0 … (2)
differentiate w.r.t. x, we get,
… (3)
From (2) and (3)
so, differential equation is non-linear and of first order.

(a) not one-one
(b) not onto
(c) not a homomorphism
(d) one-one, onot and a homomorphism
Ans. (d)
Sol. |G| = 7, a prime number, So G is a cyclic group, say, G = {e, a, a2,……, a6}.
So, clearly G is one-one and onto.
Also, (x, y) = (xy)4 for any x, y
G.
= x4y4 (as G is cyclic, hence abelian)
= (x)
(y)
is a homomorphism.

17. Find the critical points of the function f (x, y) = x3 + y2 – 12x – 6y + 40. Test each of these for maximum and minimum.
Sol.
For critical points fx (x, y) = fy (x, y) = 0 x = 2 or –2 and y = 3
So, the critical point are P1(2, 3), P2 (–2, 3)
fxx (x, y) = 6x, fxy (x, y) = 0, fyy (x, y) = 2
Discriminant of f,
D(2, 3) = 24 > 0
D(–2, 3) = –24 < 0
So, f has no extremum at P2(–2, 3)
fxx (2, 3) = 6 × 2 = 12 > 0 f has minimum at P1(2, 3).

Sol. (a) u is eigen vector of A corresponding to eigen-value
Au = lu,
is eigen vector of A corresponding to eigen value 3
A
= 3
Consider A(u + ) = Au + A
= 1u + 3
, so (u +
) is not an eigen value of A.
(TIPS: Ax = is eigen value then
where
is eigen vector of
.
(b) Let A be matrix whose sum of all terms in row is 1.
Let Sum of all terms in row is 1
Here one of the eigen value of A is 1.
One of eigen value of B is 2. (
is eigen vector) multiply both side by A
(
because 1 is eigen value of A)
So, 2 is eigen value of AB.
22. Suppose W1 and W2 are subspace of spanned by {(1, 2, 3, 4), (2, 1, 1, 2)} and {(1, 0, 1, 0) (3, 0, 1, 0)} respectively. Find a basis of W1
W2. Also find a basis of W1 + W2 containing {(1, 0, 1, 0), (3, 0, 1, 0)}.
Sol. Part-I: Basis of W1
W2, W has a basis {(1, 2, 3, 4), (2, 1, 1, 2)} and W2 has a basis {1,0,1,0}, (3,0,1,0)}, so W1 is the linear combination of = a(1, 2, 3, 4) + b(2,1,1,2)
W2 the linear combination of = c(1,0,1,0) + d(3,0,1,0)
but W1 W2 contain element which is in both W1 and W2 i.e. both element present in W1 and W2.
= a(1,2,3,4) +b(2,1,1,2) for some a,b
i.e., linear combination of basis of
Similarly,
for some c, d
= c(1,0,1,0) + d(3,0,1,0)
i.e., linear combination of basis of W2.
from (1) and (2), we get a(1,2,3,4) +b(2,1,1,2) = c(1,0,1,0) + d(3,0,1,0)
Comparing both side, we get
a + 2b = c + 3d …(3)
2a + b = 0 …(4)
3a + b = c + d …(5)
4a + 2b = 0 …(6)
From (4) and (6), we get 2a + b = 0 b = –2a
From (5) 3a – 2a = c + d a = c + d …(7)
From (3) a – 4a = c + 3d –3 = c + 3d …(8)
From (7) and (8), we get d = –2a,c = 3a
= a(1,2,3,4) + b(2,1,1,2) = a(1,2,3,4) –2a(2,1,1,2)
= a(1 – 4, 2 – 2, 3 – 2, 4 – 4) = a(–3,0,1,0)
i.e. W1
W2 span by (–3,0,10)
dim (W1
W2) = 1
and basis of W1
W2 = {(–3,0,1,0)}
Part-II: Find basis of W1 + W2. As we know
dim (W1 + W2) = dim(W1) + dim(W2) – dim(W1
W2) = 2 + 2 – 1 = 3
Basis of W1 + W2 contains 3 elements by definition
W1 + W2 = {α + α; α belongs to W1. β belongs to W2}
So, W1 + W2 contain both W1 and W2. ∴ W1
W2, W2
W1 + W2
So basis contain three element but {1,0,1,0}, {3,0,1,0} are given then other element belongs to W1.
Basis of W1 + W2 is = {(1,0,1,0), (3,0,1,0), (1,2,3,4)} or
= {(1,0,1,0), (3,0,1,0), (2,1,1,2)}

There are six surfaces
x = 0 x = 1
y = 0 y = 1
z = 0 z = 1
Hence Gauss divergence theorem is verified.
25. Let y = f(x) be a twice continuously differential function on satisfying f (1) = 1 and

This is homogeneous equation Let z = log x
Equation charge into
Then auxiliary equation 4m2 – 4m + 1 = 0
Consider f (1) = 1 i.e x = 1, f (x) = 1
1 = (c1 + c2 log1) (
log1 = 0)
…(2)
26. Let be the group under matrix addition and H be the subgroup of G consisting of matrices with even entries. Find the order of the quotient group G/H.
Sol.
Since is of order 2, so as 2 × 2 matrix of dimension 4.
actually each entry of G/H has exactly two choices either 0 or 1.
So, the 2 × 2 matrices has 4 elements and each element has two choices.
2 × 2 × 2 × 2 = 16 elements.

29. Let R be the ring of polynomials with real coefficients under polynomial addition and polynomial multiplication. Suppose
I = {p R : sum of the coefficients of p is zero}.
Prove that I is a maximal ideal of R.
Sol. Given R be the ring of polynomials with real coefficients under polynomial addition and polynomial multiplication.
I = {p R : sum of the coefficients of p is zero}.
It is easy to prove that I be an ideal
Now let us assume that U be an ideal of R s. t. I C U
R. Then
a polynomial r(x)
U.t. sum of coefficients of r(x) is non zero.
Let coefficient of r(x) is and since U contains I, then
a non-zero number l and a polynomial S(x) in I s.t. sum of coefficient of s(x) is zero say
+ l in I. And since U is ideal so, s(x) – r(x)
Hence l is maximal ideal.
