Instructions

• Read the questions here and answer on google form.

• Each question may have multiple correct answers, select all possible answers.

• Zero credit for the questions have partially correct answers.

1. The cylindrical clepsydra of radius 15 cm filled with water upto height 40 cm. The (1)
water level is falling due to a circular hole present at the bottom of diameter 1 mm.
Then, cm to cm is the first 1 cm drop that takes more than 50
minutes.

2. The singular solution associated to the differential equation (y 0 )2 + 4xy 0 − 4y = 0 (1)

is given by .

3. Select which of the following statements are true. (2)

∂f
and the partial derivative fails to exist at a point (x0 , y0 ) in the rectangle.
∂y
Then always there exist a solution but no unique solution is possible to have in
a rectangle containing (x0 , y0 ).
(b) All linear equations y 0 + p(x)y = q(x) and y(x0 ) = y0 such that p(x) and q(x) is
continuous in (a, b) which contains the point x0 . Then the equation always have
a unique solution.
(c) If the fist oder IVP has non-unique solution then one of the solution always a
singular solution.
