For a partial differential equation, in a function φ (x, y) and two variables x, y, what is the form obtained after separation of variables is applied?
  • a)
    Φ (x, y) = X(x) + Y(y)
  • b)
    Φ (x, y) = X(x) - Y(y)
  • c)
    Φ (x, y) = X(x) / Y(y)
  • d)
    Φ (x, y) = X(x)Y(y)
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Veda Institute answered
The method of separation of variables relies upon the assumption that a function of the form,
Φ (x, y) = X(x)Y(y)
will be a solution to a linear homogeneous partial differential equation in x and y. This is called a product solution and provided the boundary conditions are also linear and homogeneous this will also satisfy the boundary conditions.

Veda Institute answered
To find the distance between two parallel planes, we follow the method given below. Method:Find the perpendicular distance of each plane from the origin with proper sign (i.e. do not. lake the mod). Ther. their differeee is the required distance between two parallel planes. Let d. and d, be the distances of the planes 
2x -2y + z + 3 =0 ...(i)
and 4x - 4y + 2z + 5 = 0 ...(ii)
from the origin. Then

If r > p > q, the number of different selections of p + q things taking r at a time, where p things are identical and q other things are identical, is
  • a)
    p + q - r
  • b)
    q + q - r + 1
  • c)
    r - p - q + 1
  • d)
    non of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Veda Institute answered
 The number of selections of p things from p identical things and r - p things from q identical things = 1 x 1

Similarly in all other cases, 
∴ the total number of ways
= p - (r - q )+ 1 or q - (r - p) + 1
= p + q - r + l

et A and B be n×n matrices, where n is an integer greater than 1. Is it true that
det(A + B) = det(A) + det(B)?
If so, then give a proof. If not, then give a counterexample.
Correct answer is 'det(A+B)≠det(A)+det(B)'. Can you explain this answer?

Ojas Shah answered  •  Jan 06, 2025
Understanding the Determinant Property
The statement that det(A + B) = det(A) + det(B) is generally not true for n x n matrices A and B where n > 1.
Counterexample
Consider the matrices:
- A = [[1, 0],
[0, 1]]
- B = [[1, 0],
[0, 1]]
These matrices are both the identity matrix of size 2.
Now, let's compute the determinants:

Ojas Shah answered  •  Mar 20, 2024

First, we need to calculate the probability of having at most one defective item in a packet.

- Calculating the probability of having exactly one defective item:
- The probability of having exactly one defective item in a packet of four items can be calculated using the binomial probability formula:
- P(X = 1) = C(4, 1) * (0.2)^1 * (0.8)^3
- P(X = 1

  • b)
    2
  • c)

Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Ojas Shah answered  •  Nov 30, 2023
To solve this problem, we need to use the properties of circles and triangles.

Let's start by considering the circle with diameter AB. The square on the diameter is simply the square of the length of AB, which we'll denote as d.

The sum of the squares on the sides of the inscribed triangle ABC can be written as:

AB^2 + BC^2 + AC^2

Since the triangle is i

Ojas Shah answered  •  Nov 30, 2023
Explanation:

To understand why the correct answer is option 'D', let's break down each option and see why it is true.

a) Tangent to the circle x^2 + y^2 = a^2 at point (x1, y1):
The equation xx1 + yy1 = a^2 represents a line passing through the point (x1, y1). If this line is a tangent to the circle x^2 + y^2 = a^2, it means that the line intersects the circle at exactly

If f(x) = x5 - 20x3 + 240 x, then f(x) is
  • a)
    monotonically decreasing everywhere 
  • b)
    monotonically decreasing on (0, ∞)
  • c)
    monotonically increasing everywhere
  • d)
    monotonically increasing only in (-∞, 0)
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Ojas Shah answered  •  Nov 09, 2023
To determine whether f(x) is monotonically decreasing or increasing, we need to find the derivative of f(x) and analyze its sign.

Given: f(x) = x^5 - 20x^3 + 240x

Taking the derivative of f(x) with respect to x:
f'(x) = 5x^4 - 60x^2 + 240

To find the critical points, we set f'(x) equal to zero and solve for x:
5x^4 - 60x^2 + 240 = 0

We can fact
