Problem Set 02 | Maximum Score: 50
Instructions:
• A Problem Set (PS) is ideally a set of problems/questions you are asked to solve. I encourage you to work in groups – it always helps.
• Unless you are well capable of typing it up, I’d suggest you go with the traditional pen & paper mode – solve the problems on paper,
scan it, save it as a PDF file, and upload it. If it’s not a PDF, you’ll get a straight ZERO. Make sure, your scans are legible and page-
wise arranged.
• Finally, please don’t forget to write your FULL NAME and SAP ID at the top of your Front Page. All the best!
