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.

Which of the following group is cyclic ?
  • a)
    S3
  • b)
    Z5
  • c)
    D4
  • d)
    K4
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Veda Institute answered
Concept used: 
A group is cyclic iff there exists an element of order whose order is equal to the order of the group 
Calculations:
o(S3) = 3!
contains 6 elements of the Symmetric group S(3), of degree 3, written in cycles are : {(1), (12), (13), (23), (123), (321)}.
o(1) = 1
o(12), o(23) and o(13) = 2
o(123),  and  o(321) = 3 
no element having order equal to order of group 
∴ option 1 is incorrect.
o(D4) = 8 
 D4 = {1, r, r2, r3 , s, sr, sr2, sr3}
o(s), o(sr), o(sr2), o(sr3) = 2
o(1) = 1, o(r) = 2 , o(r2) = 3, o(r3) = 4
no element having order equal to order of the group 
∴ option 3 is incorrect.
o(K4) = 4 
K4  = {e, a, b, ab}
o(e) = 1 , o(a) = 2, o(b) = 2, o(ab) = 2 
No element having order equal to the order of group 
∴ option 4 is incorrect.
o(Z5) = 5 
Z5 = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}
o(0) = 1 o(1) = 5, o(2) = 5 , o(3) = 5 , o(4) = 5 
all elements having order = order of the group 
all are the generator of the group.
∴ option 2 is correct.

If A =  , the eigen values of this matrix are -1 and 7, then the value of ab is (Answer should be integer) ________.
Correct answer is '15'. Can you explain this answer?

Veda Institute answered
Given A = 
We know that trace of A= sum ofeigen values
⇒ a + 1 = -1 + 7
⇒ a = 5
Also det (A) = a - 4b = product of eigen values
⇒ a - 4b = -7 ⇒ -5 - 4b = -7 i.e.,b = 3
⇒ ab = 15

State and prove the fundamental theorem of calculus?

Aisha Gupta answered  •  Apr 10, 2024
The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
The fundamental theorem of calculus states that if a function \(f(x)\) is continuous on the closed interval \([a,b]\) and \(F(x)\) is an antiderivative of \(f(x)\) on \([a,b]\), then
\[ \int_{a}^{b} f(x) \,dx = F(b) - F(a) \]
This means that the definite integral of a function over an interval can be evaluated by finding an antiderivative of the

A bin of personal computer disks contains a large supply of disks from 4 different manufactures. In how many ways someone choose 6 disks from the bin?
  • a)
    82
  • b)
    84
  • c)
    24
  • d)
    none
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Aisha Gupta answered  •  Apr 10, 2024
Explanation:

Total number of ways to choose 6 disks:
- To find the total number of ways someone can choose 6 disks from the bin, we need to consider the disks from 4 different manufacturers.
- Since the disks are from different manufacturers, we can consider each manufacturer separately and then sum up the total number of ways.

Number of ways to cho
... more
- Let's consider each manufacturer one by one:
- Manufacturer 1: Number of ways to choose 6 disks = $\binom{a}{6}$
- Manufacturer 2: Number of ways to choose 6 disks = $\binom{b}{6}$
- Manufacturer 3: Number of ways to choose 6 disks = $\binom{c}{6}$
- Manufacturer 4: Number of ways to choose 6 disks = $\binom{d}{6}$

Total number of ways to choose 6 disks:
- Total number of ways = $\binom{a}{6} + \binom{b}{6} + \binom{c}{6} + \binom{d}{6}$
- Since the question does not specify the values of a, b, c, and d, we cannot calculate the exact number of ways.
- However, we know that the sum of the number of ways to choose 6 disks from each manufacturer will give us the total number of ways.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B) 84.

A box contains 5 block balls and 3 red balls. A total of three balls are picked from the box one after another, without replacing them back. The probability of getting two black balls and one red ball is
  • a)
    3/8
  • b)
    2/15
  • c)
    15/28
  • d)
    1/2
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Aisha Gupta answered  •  Jan 31, 2024
To find the probability of getting two black balls and one red ball, we need to consider the different ways in which this can occur and calculate the probability for each case.

Let's break down the problem into steps:

Step 1: Total number of balls
- The box contains 5 black balls and 3 red balls.
- So, the total number of balls in the box is 8.

    1
  • b)
    2
  • c)
    3
  • d)

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

Aisha Gupta answered  •  Dec 03, 2023
To solve the equation y'' + y = cos(x), we can use the method of variation of parameters.

First, we find the complementary solution by solving the homogeneous equation y'' + y = 0. The characteristic equation is r^2 + 1 = 0, which has the roots r = ±i. Therefore, the complementary solution is y_c(x) = c1*cos(x) + c2*sin(x), where c1 and c2 are arbitrary constants.

Next, we n

If the sequence is increasing, then it ____
  • a)
    converges to its supremum.
  • b)
    diverges.
  • c)
    may converges to its supremum.
  • d)
    is bounded
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Aisha Gupta answered  •  Oct 15, 2023
Explanation:
An increasing sequence is a sequence of numbers where each term is greater than or equal to the previous term. In other words, if we have a sequence (a1, a2, a3, ...) such that ai ≤ ai+1 for all i, then the sequence is increasing.

Convergence:
Convergence refers to the behavior of a sequence as the number of terms increases. If a sequence converges,

    A singleton set
  • b)
    A finite set containing more than one element

    An uncountable set
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Aisha Gupta answered  •  Oct 15, 2023
In this notation, S represents a subspace and T represents a transformation. The subspace S is defined as the range of the transformation T, which means that S is the set of all possible outputs of T.

In other words, S is the set of all vectors in R3 that can be obtained by applying the transformation T to some vector in R3.

For example, if T is a linear transformation that r
