Note:
1. Attempt all the questions.
2. Write the answers in hard copy (on A4 or any other sheet available) using blue/black pen with
their sign on top and bottom of each page. Also put page numbers on upper right corner of each
page of the answer booklet.
3. The time allowed for writing examination is 2 hours. Extra 15 minutes are allowed for scanning
and sending the answer booklet.
4. Follow the instructions regarding submission of answer booklet as issued by examination sec-
tion.

1. From the following data calculate the differences and obtain the forward and backward difference
polynomials. Interpolate the value of f (x) at x = 0.25 and x = 0.35.

x 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5

f (x) 1.40 1.56 1.76 2.00 2.28

2. Find the quadratic factor of the following polynomial correct to three decimal places using
Bairstow’s method:
f (x) = x3 − x − 1
Use initial parameter values r0 = 1.0 and s0 = 1.0.

3. Evaluate the double integral

Z π Z π
2 2 p
I= sin(x + y) dx dy
0 0

by using Simpson’s 1/3-rule with four sub-intervals.

4. Solve the following differential equation

1 − y2 0
 
00
y − y +y = 0
10
using fourth order Runge-Kutta method for x = 0.2 by taking h = 0.2, with the initial values
y(0) = 1, y0 (0) = 0.
5. Solve the following system of linear equations

4x1 − x2 − x3 = 2
−x1 + 4x2 − x4 = 2
−x1 + 4x3 − x4 = 1
−x2 − x3 + 4x4 = 1

using Gauss-Seidel method. Start with (0, 0, 0, 0) and perform five iterations only.

6. Using Power method, find the dominant eigenvalue of the following matrix
 
5 0 1
A = 0 −2 0
1 0 5

7. Newton-Raphson method is to be applied for approximating a root of the equation sin x = 0. Let
β ∈ (−π/2, π/2) and β 6= 0 be such that if x0 = β , then the iteration becomes a cycle, i.e.,

β = x0 = x2 = · · · = x2k = x2k+2 = · · · , x1 = x3 = · · · = x2k+1 = x2k+3 = · · ·

Find a nonlinear equation whose solution is β .

8. A boundary value problem is defined by

2y00 − 3y0 − 5y = x + 1, 0≤x≤1

where y(0) = 0 and y(1) = 0. With h = 0.25, use the finite difference method to determine the
value of y(0.75). Compare it with the exact solution.
