Analysis Question 1:

For an integer n, let fn(x) = xe−nx, where x ∈ [0, 1]. Let S := {fn : n ≥ 1}. Consider the metric space (C([0, 1]), d), where

\(\rm \displaystyle d(f, g)=\sup _{x \in[0,1]}\{|f(x)-g(x)|\}\), f, g ∈ C([0, 1]).

Which of the following statement(s) is/are false?

  1. S is an equi-continuous family of continuous functions
  2. S is closed in (C([0, 1]), d)
  3. S is bounded in (C([0, 1]), d)
  4. S is compact in (C([0, 1]), d) 

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option :

Analysis Question 1 Detailed Solution

Explanation:

Each  fn(x) = xe−nx, is a continuous function on [0, 1] because it is the product of two continuous functions: x and \(e^{-nx}\) .

A family of functions S is equi-continuous if, for every \(\epsilon > 0 \), there exists a \(\delta > 0\) such that for

all \(f_n \in S\) and for all x, y \(\in\) [0, 1] with \(|x - y| < \delta\) , we have \(|f_n(x) - f_n(y)| < \epsilon\) .

For fn(x) = xe−nx :

1. As n increases, the term \(e^{-nx}\) decays very rapidly to zero for x > 0 , so the functions \(f_n(x)\) become

concentrated near x = 0 .

2. For any two points x, y close to each other, the difference \(|f_n(x) - f_n(y)|\) can be made small by choosing a

sufficiently small \(\delta\) that works uniformly for all n , because the factor e−nx does not affect small variations near x and y significantly for fixed x, y .

Thus, S is an equi-continuous family of functions. So, Option 1 is correct.

To determine if S is closed, we need to check if it contains all its limit points in the metric defined by \(d(f, g) = \sup_{x \in [0, 1]} |f(x) - g(x)| .\)

As \(n \to \infty\) ,fn(x) = xe−nx  converges pointwise to the zero function f(x) = 0 on [0, 1] because \(e^{-nx} \to 0\) for x > 0 .

However, f(x) = 0 is not in S since \( f_n \)(x) for any finite n is not identically zero.

Therefore, S is not closed in C([0, 1]) because it does not contain its pointwise limit f(x) = 0 . So, Option 2 is incorrect.


To determine if S is bounded in C([0, 1]) , we compute \(\|f_n\| = \sup_{x \in [0, 1]} |f_n(x)|\) for each \( f_n \).

For fn(x) = xe−nx  , the maximum value occurs near \(x = \frac{1}{n} \).

Substituting \(x = \frac{1}{n} \) :
   
  \( f_n\left(\frac{1}{n}\right) = \frac{1}{n} e^{-1} = \frac{e^{-1}}{n}.\)
   
Since \(\frac{e^{-1}}{n} \to 0 \) as \(n \to \infty\) , the functions \( f_n \)(x) are uniformly bounded by a constant M = \(e^{-1}\) .

Thus, S is bounded in C([0, 1]) . So, Option 3 is correct.

A subset of C([0, 1]) is compact if it is closed, bounded, and equi-continuous (by the Arzelà-Ascoli theorem). We have shown that:

S is bounded , S is equi-continuous

However, S is not closed.

Since S is not closed, it cannot be compact. Therefore, Option 4 is incorrect.

Analysis Question 2:

Let (X, d) be a finite non‐singleton metric space. Which of the following statement/ statements is /are false? 

  1. There exists A ⊆ X such that A is not open in X.
  2. X is compact. 
  3. X is not connected.
  4. There exists a function f : X → ℝ such that f is not continuous.

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option :

Analysis Question 2 Detailed Solution

Concept:

(i) All metric spaces are Hausdorff spaces.

(ii) Finite union of open set is open

(iii) Compact set: A metric space X is said to be compact if every open covering has a finite sub-covering.

(iv) Connected set: A metric space (M, d) is said connected metric space if and only if M cannot be written as a disjoint union N = X ∪ Y where X and Y are both non-empty open subsets of M.

(v) A function f : X → Y is continuous if and only if G is open in Y implies f-1(G) is open in X

Explanation:

(X, d) be a finite non‐singleton metric space.

Let X = {x1, x2, ..., xn}

Then there exist an open ball containing xi such that B(xi) ⊆ {xi}

Then each subset of X is open.

(1) is false

\(\left\{x_{i_1}, x_{i_2}, ..., x_{i_k}\right\}\) = \(∪_{j=1}^k\{x_{i_j}\}\) is open

So, every open cover of X has a finite subcover

Hence X is compact.

(2) is correct

X can be written as X = {xi} ∪ {xi}c

So X is not connected

(3) is correct

X is a discrete metric space so every function f : X → ℝ must be continuous.

(4) is fasle

Analysis Question 3:

Let p ∶ \(\mathbb{R}\)2 → \(\mathbb{R}\) be defined by

\(p(x, y)=\left\{\begin{array}{lll} |x| & \text { if } & x \neq 0 \\ |y| & \text { if } & x=0 . \end{array}\right.\)

Which of the following statements is/are false?

  1. p(x, y) = 0 if and only if x = y = 0
  2. p(x, y) ≥ 0 for all x, y
  3. p(αx, αy) = |α| p(x, y) for all α ∈ \(\mathbb{R}\) and for all x, y
  4. p(x1 + x2, y1 + y2) ≤ p(x1, y1) + p(x2, y2) for all (x1, y1) (x2, y2)

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option :

Analysis Question 3 Detailed Solution

Explanation:

p(x,y) = 0 ⇒ |x| = 0 ⇒ x = 0, when x ≠ 0

and |y| = 0 ⇒ y=0 when x=0

∴ p(x,y) = 0  if and only if x = y = 0.

Option (1) is correct.

as |x| ≥ 0, |y| ≥ 0 for all x, y so p(x, y) ≥ 0 for all x, y.

Option (2) is correct.

  for x ≠ 0, p(αx, αy) = |α x| = |α||x| = |α|p(x,y)

for x = 0, p(αx, αy) = |α y| = |α||y| = |α|p(x,y) 

Hence p(αx, αy) = |α| p(x, y) for all α ∈ \(\mathbb{R}\) and for all x, y.

Option (3) is correct.

A counterexample for option (4):

Let (x1, y1) = (5,10), (x2, y2) = (-5,20) then (x1+x2,y1+y2) = (0,30)

So p(x1+x2,y1+y2) = 30 as x1+x= 0 

nand p(x1, y1) + p(x2, y2) = |5| + |-5| = 5 + 5 = 10

as \(30 \nleq 10\) so p(x1+x2,y1+y2\(\nleq\) p(x1+x2,y1+y2)

Option (4) is not correct.

Analysis Question 4:

Let (an)n≥1, (bn)n≥1 and (Cn)n≥1 be sequences given by

an = (-1)n (1 + e-n)

bn = max{a1.....an}, and

Cn = min{a1....an},

Which of the following statements are true? 

  1. (an)n≥1 does not converge.
  2. \(\rm lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}sup a_n=\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}b_n\)
  3. \(\rm lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}inf \ a_n=\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}c_n\)
  4. \(\rm lim_{n\rightarrow \infty} b_n=\lim_{n\rightarrow \infty}c_n\)

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option :

Analysis Question 4 Detailed Solution

Concept:

Understanding Sequences and Their Limits:

  • Sequence: An ordered list of numbers defined by a function \( a_n \) on natural numbers.
  • Convergence: A sequence \( a_n \) converges if it approaches a unique real number as \( n \to \infty \).
  • lim sup: The greatest accumulation point (limit of suprema of tails).
  • lim inf: The smallest accumulation point (limit of infima of tails).
  • Max sequence: \( b_n = \max\{a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n\} \) is non-decreasing.
  • Min sequence: \( c_n = \min\{a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n\} \) is non-increasing.

 

Calculation:

Given,

\( a_n = (-1)^n (1 + e^{-n}) \)

⇒ For even \( n \): \( a_n \approx 1 + e^{-n} \to 1 \)

⇒ For odd \( n \): \( a_n \approx -1 - e^{-n} \to -1 \)

⇒ So the sequence oscillates between numbers close to +1 and -1, hence:

\( \lim a_n \) does not exist 

Option 1: "\( a_n \) does not converge"

⇒ Correct.

Since the sequence oscillates between two values without settling on one, it diverges.

Option 2: "\( \limsup a_n = \lim b_n \)"

→ False.

\( \limsup a_n = 1 \)

\( b_n = \max\{a_1, a_2, ..., a_n\} \)

Since \( a_2 = 1 + e^{-2} > 1 \), and this is the max forever, \( b_n \to 1 + e^{-2} \)

⇒ not equal to 1

Option 3: "\( \liminf a_n = \lim c_n \)"

→ False.

\( \liminf a_n = -1 \)

\( a_1 = -1 - e^{-1} \) which is minimum forever ⇒ \( c_n = -1 - e^{-1} \) for all large \( n \)

So \( \lim c_n = -1 - e^{-1} \ne -1 \)

Option 4: "\( \lim b_n = \lim c_n \)"

→ False.

As shown, \( \lim b_n = 1 + e^{-2} \)

\( \lim c_n = -1 - e^{-1} \)

Hence, not equal

∴ Only correct statement is Option 1.

Analysis Question 5:

Let F : ℝ → ℝ be a continuous function such that f(x) = 0 for all x ≤ 0 and for all x ≥ 1, Define

\(\rm F(x)=\Sigma_{n=-\infty}^\infty f(x+n), x \in R\)

Which of the following statements are true? 

  1. F is bounded. 
  2. F is continuous on ℝ.  
  3. F is uniformly continuous on ℝ. 
  4. F is not uniformly continuous on ℝ.

Analysis Question 6 Detailed Solution

Concept:

A function f(x,y) is defined for (x,y) = (a,b) is said to be continuous at (x,y) = (a,b) if:

i) f(a,b) = value of f(x,y) at (x,y) = (a,b) is finite.

ii) The limit of the function f(x,y) as (x,y) → (a,b) exists and equal to the value of f(x,y) at (x,y) = (a,b)

\(\mathop {\lim }\limits_{\left( {x,y} \right) \to \left( {0,0} \right)} f\left( {x,y} \right) = f\left( {a,b} \right)\)

Note:

For a function to be differentiable at a point, it should be continuous at that point too.

Calculation:

Given:

\(f\left( {x,y} \right) = \;\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\frac{{xy}}{{\sqrt {{x^2} + {y^2}} }}\;\;\;{x^2} + {y^2} \ne 0}\\ {0\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;x = y = 0} \end{array}} \right.\)

For function f(x,y) to be continuous:

\(\mathop {\lim }\limits_{\left( {x,y} \right) \to \left( {0,0} \right)} f\left( {x,y} \right) = f\left( {a,b} \right)\) and finite.

f(a,b) = f(0,0) ⇒ 0 (given)

\(\mathop {\lim }\limits_{\left( {r,\theta } \right) \to \left( {0,0} \right)} f\left( {r,\theta} \right) =\frac{ r^2cos\theta rsin\theta }{r} \) = 0 

fx(0, 0) = \(\mathop {\lim }\limits_{\left( {h,0 } \right) \to \left( {0,0} \right)}\){f(h, 0) - f(0, 0)} / h = 0 

fy(0, 0) = \(\mathop {\lim }\limits_{\left( {0,k } \right) \to \left( {0,0} \right)}\){f(0, k) - f(0, 0)} / k = 0 

 

∵ the limit value is defined and function value is 0 at (x,y) = (0,0), ∴ the function f(x,y) is continuous.

Hence, Option 2, 3 & 4 all are correct 

Hence, Option 1 is not correct 

Hence, The Correct Answer is option 1.

Consider the series \(\rm\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\) an, where an = (−1)n+1\(\rm (\sqrt{n+1}−\sqrt{n})\). Which of the following statements is true?

  1. The series is divergent.
  2. The series is convergent.
  3. The series is conditionally convergent.
  4. The series is absolutely convergent.

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 3 : The series is conditionally convergent.

Concept:

Leibniz's test: A series of the form \(\rm\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\)(-1)nbn, where either all bn are positive or all bn are negative is convergent if

(i) |bn| decreases monotonically i.e., |bn+1| ≤ |bn|

(ii) \(\lim_{n\to\infty}b_n=0\)

Explanation:

an = (−1)n+1\(\rm (\sqrt{n+1}−\sqrt{n})\)

    = (−1)n+1  \(\rm \frac{(\sqrt{n+1}−\sqrt{n})(\sqrt{n+1}+\sqrt{n})}{(\sqrt{n+1}+\sqrt{n})}\) 

   = (−1)n+1\(\rm \frac{1}{(\sqrt{n+1}+\sqrt{n})}\)

So series is \(\rm\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\)\(\rm \frac{(-1)^{n+1}}{(\sqrt{n+1}+\sqrt{n})}\) 

So here bn\(\rm \frac{1}{(\sqrt{n+1}+\sqrt{n})}\)bn+1 = \(\rm \frac{1}{(\sqrt{n+2}+\sqrt{n+1})}\)

\(\frac{b_{n+1}}{b_n}<1\) so bn+1 < bn  

Also \(\lim_{n\to\infty}b_n\) = \(\lim_{n\to\infty}\) \(\rm \frac{1}{(\sqrt{n+1}+\sqrt{n})}\) = 0

Hence by Leibnitz's test \(\rm\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\) an is convergent.

Now the series is \(\rm\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\)\(\rm |\frac{(-1)^{n+1}}{(\sqrt{n+1}+\sqrt{n})}|\) =  \(\rm\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\)\(\rm \frac{1}{(\sqrt{n+1}+\sqrt{n})}\) = \(\rm\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\) \(\rm \frac{1}{\sqrt n(\sqrt{1+\frac{1}{n}}+1)}\)

Hence by Limit comparison Test, it is divergent series by P - Test.

Hence the given series is conditionally convergent.

Concept: 

Every odd degree polynomial p(x) ∈ R(x) has at least a real root

Explanation:

p(x) = x3 + 3x − 2023

p'(x) = 3x2 + 3

Since x2 ≥ 0 for all x so

3x2 + 3 > 0 ⇒ p'(x) > 0

Therefore p'(x) has no real roots

We know that between two distinct real roots of p(x) there exist a real root of p'(x).

Since here p'(x) no real roots, so p(x) can't have more than one real root

Option (2) correct

ρ(A4 × 4) = 2

N (A) = Number of column – Rank

          = 4 – 2 = 2    

i.e. Null space of A will consist only two linearly independent vectors which is given as x and y.

Eigen vectors of matrix A, \(\begin{bmatrix}2\\\ 1\\\ 0 \\\ 3 \end{bmatrix}\rm and \begin{bmatrix}1\\\ 0 \\\ 1 \\\ 2 \end{bmatrix}\)

As these are linearly independent eigen vectors so remaining eigen vectors of null space must be linearly dependent.

Explanation -

𝑋 = {(𝑥, 𝑥 sin \(\frac{1}{x}\)) ∈ ℝ2 ∶ 𝑥 ∈ (0,1]} ⋃ {(0, 𝑦) ∈ ℝ2 : −∞ < 𝑦 < ∞} 

 {(0, 𝑦) ∈ ℝ2 : −∞ < 𝑦 < ∞}  represents the whole y - axis and 𝑥 sin \(\frac{1}{x}\) is oscillates between 0 and 1. Hence it is connected.

So Clearly X is also connected subset of ℝ2 .

Hence Statement P is correct.

𝑌 = {(𝑥, sin  \(\frac{1}{x}\)) ∈ ℝ2 : 𝑥 ∈ (0,1]} ⋃ {(0, 𝑦) ∈ ℝ2 : −∞ < 𝑦 < ∞}.

{(0, 𝑦) ∈ ℝ2 : −∞ < 𝑦 < ∞}  represents the whole y - axis and  sin \(\frac{1}{x}\) is oscillates between 0 and 1. Hence it is connected.

So Clearly Y is also connected subset of ℝ2 .

Hence Statement Q is correct.

Hence option (1) is correct.

Concept:

Limit of a Sequence of Functions:

1. Let \(\{f_n\}\) be a sequence of functions defined on a set D . We say that \(f_n\) converges pointwise to a function

 f  on D if, for every x \(\in\) D

\(\lim_{n \to \infty} f_n(x) = f(x).\)

2. A stronger form of convergence is uniform convergence. The sequence \(\{f_n\}\) converges uniformly to a function  f  on D if

\(\lim_{n \to \infty} \sup_{x \in D} |f_n(x) - f(x)| = 0.\)

Explanation: The problem gives a sequence of functions\( f_n: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}\) defined by

\(f_n(x) = \frac{x^2}{\sqrt{x^2 + \frac{1}{n}}}\)

and asks about the limit of \(f_n(x) \) as \(n \to \infty \), denoted by \( f(x)\) . We are tasked with determining which statement about f(x) is true.

We are asked to take the limit \(n \to \infty \) of the function:

 \(f_n(x) = \frac{x^2}{\sqrt{x^2 + \frac{1}{n}}} \)   

As \(n \to \infty \), the term \(\frac{1}{n} \to 0 \). So, for large n , the function \(f_n(x) \) approaches

 \(lim_{n \to \infty} f_n(x) = \frac{x^2}{\sqrt{x^2}} = \frac{x^2}{|x|}\)
 

Case 1: \(x \neq 0\)

For \(x \neq 0\) we have, \( f(x) = \frac{x^2}{|x|} = |x|\)
 

Case 2: \(x =0\)
When \(x =0\) , the function becomes \(f_n(0) = \frac{0^2}{\sqrt{0^2 + \frac{1}{n}}} = 0\)

Therefore, as \(n \to \infty \), we get f(0) = 0 .

The function f(x) , \(n \to \infty \) , is given by

   
  \( f(x) = \begin{cases} |x|, & \text{if } x \neq 0 \\ 0, & \text{if } x = 0 \end{cases} \)

This function is equal to |x| for all \(x \in \mathbb{R} \)

Therefore, The correct option is 4).

Let C be the collection of all sets S such that the power set of S is countably infinite. Which of the following statements is true? 

  1. There exists a non-empty finite set in C
  2. There exists a countably infinite set in C 
  3. There exists an uncountable set in C 
  4. C is empty 

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 4 : C is empty 

Analysis Question 13 Detailed Solution

Download Solution PDF

Concept:
 

1. Power Set: The power set of a set S, denoted \( \mathcal{P}(S) \), is the set of all subsets of  S.

If S has \(n\)  elements, then \( \mathcal{P}(S) \) contains \( 2^n \) elements. 
 

2. Countably Infinite Set: A set is countably infinite if its elements can be put into a one-to-one

correspondence with the natural numbers (i.e., it has the same cardinality as \(\mathbb{N} \) ).
 

3. Uncountably Infinite Set: A set is uncountable if it is not countably infinite (for example, the real numbers \( \mathbb{R} \) ).

4. Power Set and Cardinality: If the power set \( \mathcal{P}(S) \) is countably infinite, then S cannot be finite.

This is because for any finite set S, its power set \( \mathcal{P}(S) \) has \( 2^n \) elements, where \(n\) is the number of

elements in \(S\), and \( 2^n \) is always finite. Additionally, if \(S\) is uncountably infinite, then its power

set \( \mathcal{P}(S) \) will be uncountably infinite. 

Explanation:

 

Option 1: This cannot be true because if \(S\) is finite, its power set will also be finite, not countably infinite.
  
Option 2: This is incorrect option because if \(S\) is any countably infinite set then its power set must be uncountable.

Option 3: This cannot be true because if \(S\) were uncountable, its power set would be uncountable as well.

Option 4:  This is true, as there is no countably infinite set whose power set is countably infinite, so C is empty.

The correct option is 4).

Given -

Let 𝑇 ∶ ℝ4 → ℝ4 be a linear transformation and the null space of 𝑇 be the subspace of ℝ4 given by

{(𝑥1, 𝑥2, 𝑥3, 𝑥4) ∈ ℝ4 ∶ 4𝑥1 + 3𝑥2 + 2𝑥3 + 𝑥4 = 0}.

If 𝑅𝑎𝑛𝑘(𝑇 − 3𝐼) = 3, where 𝐼 is the identity map on ℝ4

Concept -

(i) The dimension of subspace = dim (V) - number of restriction

(ii) Rank - Nullity theorem -

 η (T) + ρ (T) = n  where n is the dimension of the vector space or the order of the matrix.

(iii) The formula for Geometric multiplicity (GM) is = η(T - λ I)

(iv) AM ≥ GM

(v) If the rank of A is less than n this implies that |A| = 0

Explanation -

we have null space {(𝑥1, 𝑥2, 𝑥3, 𝑥4) ∈ ℝ4 ∶ 4𝑥1 + 3𝑥2 + 2𝑥3 + 𝑥4 = 0}

Now the dimension of null space = dim (V) - number of restriction = 4 - 1 = 3

Hence the nullity of T is 3 so this implies rank of T is 1.   [by rank - Nullity theorem]

i.e. \(ρ(T) =1 \ \ and \ \ η (T) =3\)

Now the formula for Geometric multiplicity (GM) is = η(T - λ I)

if we take λ = 0 then GM = 3 for λ = 0 and we know that AM ≥ GM then AM = 3, 4 only because it is not greater than the dimension of vector space.

But we have the another condition  𝑅𝑎𝑛𝑘(𝑇 − 3𝐼) = 3 < dim (ℝ4) then |𝑇 − 3𝐼| = 0

hence λ = 3 is another eigen value of the transformation. and we have 𝑅𝑎𝑛𝑘(𝑇 − 3𝐼) = 3 ⇒ η(𝑇 − 3𝐼) = 1

Hence the eigen values of T is 0,0,0 and 3.

Now the characteristic polynomial of T is 𝑥3 (𝑥 − 3)  and the minimal polynomial of T is x(x - 3).

Hence the option(1) is correct.

Let x, y ∈ [0, 1] be such that x ≠ y. Which of the following statements is true for every ϵ > 0?

  1. There exists a positive integer N such that |x − y| < 2n ϵ for every integer n ≥ N.
  2. There exists a positive integer N such that 2n ϵ < |x − y| for every integer n ≥ N.
  3. There exists a positive integer N such that |x − y| < 2−n ϵ for every integer n ≥ N.
  4. For every positive integer N, |x − y| < 2−n ϵ for some integer n ≥ N.

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 1 : There exists a positive integer N such that |x − y| < 2n ϵ for every integer n ≥ N.

Concept -

Archimedian Property of real:

Let a, b ∈ ℝ and a > 0 then ∃ N ∈ ℕ such that na > b, ∀ n ≥ N (fix natural number)

Explanation -

Let ε  = a and b = |x - y|

⇒ ∃ N ∈ ℕ such that nε > b = |x - y| ∀ n > N

→ 2n ε > nε > |x - y| ∀ n ≥ N

⇒ 2n ε > |x - y| ∀ n ≥ N

So, option (1) is true

For option (2):

Let x = 0, y = 1 and ε = \(\frac{1}{2}\)

⇒ |x - y| = 1

If possible let 2n ε < |x - y|

i.e. 2n \(\frac{1}{2}\) < 1, a contradiction

So, option (2) is false.

For option (3) and (4):

Let ε = 1, x = 0 and y = 1

⇒ |x - y| = 1 but 2-n ε = \(\rm \frac{1}{2^n}\) < 1 ∀ n ∈ ℕ 

So, |x - y| < 2-n ε is not true for any n ∈ ℕ.

So, Option (3) and (4) are false.
