Option (2) is true.

Differentiability Question 2:

The plot below shows the relationship between the mortality risk of cardiovascular disease and the number of steps a person walks per day. Based on the data, which one of the following options is true?

qImage67000b41b1af6c3adbab1395

  1. The risk reduction on increasing the steps/day from 0 to 10000 is less than the risk reduction on increasing the steps/day from 10000 to 20000.
  2. The risk reduction on increasing the steps/day from 0 to 5000 is less than the risk reduction on increasing the steps/day from 15000 to 20000.
  3. For any 5000 increment in steps/day the largest risk reduction occurs on going from 0 to 5000.
  4. For any 5000 increment in steps/day the largest risk reduction occurs on going from 15000 to 20000.

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 3 : For any 5000 increment in steps/day the largest risk reduction occurs on going from 0 to 5000.

Differentiability Question 2 Detailed Solution

The correct answer is 3)

For any 5000 increment in steps/day, the largest risk reduction occurs on going from 0 to 5000.

Explanation:

  • From the graph, the mortality risk of cardiovascular disease decreases rapidly at lower step counts and slows down at higher step counts.
  • The steepest part of the curve is from 0 to 5000 steps/day, indicating the largest reduction in risk.
  • Beyond 5000 steps/day, the rate of reduction diminishes, showing smaller incremental benefits as the number of steps increases further.

Differentiability Question 3:

If x = x2 - x y + y3, x = rcosθ, y = rsinθ then (zr)x=1,y=1 equals

  1. 32
  2. 12
  3. 2
  4. 1

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 1 : 32

Differentiability Question 3 Detailed Solution

Explanation:

x = x2 - x y + y3,

x = rcosθ, y = rsinθ

Apply Chain Rule:

(dz/dr) = (dz/dx) (dx/dr) + (dz/dy) (dy/dr)

dz/dx = 2x - y

dz/dy = -x + 3y²

dx/dr = cos(θ)

dy/dr = sin(θ)

Now,  (dz/dr) = (2x - y) cos(θ) + (-x + 3y²) sin(θ)

Since x = r cos(θ) and y = r sin(θ), we can find r and θ at x = 1 and y = 1:

r = √(x² + y²) = √(1² + 1²) = √2

θ = tan⁻¹(y/x) = tan⁻¹(1/1) = π/4

Now, substitute x = 1, y = 1, r = √2, and θ = π/4 into the expression for (dz/dr):

(dz/dr) = (2(1) - 1) cos(π/4) + (-1 + 3(1)²) sin(π/4)

(dz/dr) = 1 (√2/2) + 2 (√2/2)

(dz/dr) = 3√2/2

Therefore, (dz/dr) at x = 1 and y = 1 is 3/√2 

Hence, the correct answer is option 1.

Differentiability Question 4:

Which one is not differentiable at point x = 1

  1. f(x) = |x - 1|, x ∈ R
  2. f(x) = [x], x ∈ R
  3. f(x) = 1 + (1 - x)1/3, x ∈ R 
  4. More than one of the above
  5. None of the above

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 4 : More than one of the above

Differentiability Question 4 Detailed Solution

Explanation:

Option 1: f(x) = |x - 1|

The function |x - 1| represents an absolute value function. It has a sharp corner

at x = 1 , so the function is not differentiable at this point.

Option 2: f(x) = [x] (Greatest Integer Function)

The greatest integer function (step function) is not continuous at integer values,

and discontinuity implies that the function is not differentiable at x = 1 (or any

integer value).

Option 3: f(x) = 1+(1x)1/3

The function f(x) = 1+(1x)1/3 is differentiable at x = 1 because the cube root

function is continuous and smooth (no sharp corners or discontinuities) at x = 1

Both the absolute value function |x - 1| and the greatest integer function [x] are

not differentiable at x = 1 . 

Hence option 4 is correct.

Differentiability Question 5:

The set of all points. where the function f(x)=x(1+|x|) is differentiable, is

  1. (0, ∞)
  2. (-∞, ∞)
  3. (-∞, 0) ∪ (0, ∞)
  4. [-1, 0]

Answer (Detailed Solution Below)

Option 2 : (-∞, ∞)

Concept:

A function f(x, y) is said to be homogeneous of degree n in x and y, it can be written in the form

f(λx, λy) = λn f(x, y)

Euler’s theorem:

If f(x, y) is a homogeneous function of degree n in x and y and has continuous first and second-order partial derivatives, then

xfx+yfy=nf

x22fx2+2xy2fxy+y22fy2=n(n1)f

If z is homogeneous function of x & y of degree n and z = f(u), then

xux+yuy=nf(u)f(u)

Calculation:

Given, u=ln(x3+x2yy3xy)

z=x3+x2yy3xy

z is a homogenous function of x & y with a degree 2.

Now, z = eu

Thus, by Euler’s theorem:

xux+yuy=2eueu

xux+yuy=2

Consider a function f(x, y, z) given by

f(x, y, z) = (x2 + y2 – 2z2)(y2 + z2)

The partial derivative of this function with respect to x at the point x = 2, y = 1 and z = 3 is _______

Concept:

In Partial Differentiation, all variables are considered as a constant except the independent derivative variable i.e If f(x,y,z) is a function, then its partial derivative with respect to x is calculated by keeping y and z as constant.

Calculation:

f(x, y, z) = (x2 + y2 – 2z2)(y2 + z2)

fx=(2x)(y2+z2)

At the point, x = 2, y = 1 and z = 3 is

fx=2(2)(12+32)=40

  2. f(x) is differentiable at x = 1 for the unique value of a and b.
  3. f(x) is differentiable at x = 1 for all values of a and b such that a + b = e
  4. f(x) is differentiable at x = 1 for all values of a and b.

Differentiability Question 8 Detailed Solution

Concept:

A function is said to be differentiable at x =a if,

Left derivative = Right derivative = Well defined

Analysis:

f(x)={ex,x<1logx+ax2+bx,x1

Taking Differentiation,

f(x)={ex,x<11x+2ax+b,x1

f’(1) = e, x < 1

f’ (1) = 1 + 2a + b, x ≥ 1

since f(x) is differentiable at x = 1,

e = 1 + 2a + b → (1)

At x = 1,

f(1) = e, x < 1

f(1) = a + b, x ≥ 1

since f(x) is continuous at x = 1,

e = a + b → (2)

From (1) and (2)

⇒ 1 + 2a + b = a + b

⇒ a = -1

⇒ b = e + 1

f(x) is differentiable at x = 1 for the unique values of a and b.

Differentiability Question 9 Detailed Solution

Concept:

Chain Rule of derivatives states that, if y = f(u) and u = g(x) are both differentiable functions, then:

dydx=dydu×dudx

d(lnx)dx=1x,forx>0

d(sinx)dx=cosx

Calculation:

Given: y = log sinx

Let sin x = u

⇒ y = log u

ddx(logu)=1uddx(u)

=1sinx(cosx)

Hence, the value of dydx will be 1sin xcos x.

r = x2 + y - z   ---(1)

z3 -xy + yz + y3 = 1    ---(2)

rx=2x+yxzx

Since y is an independent derivative of ‘y’ w.r.t. ‘x’ is 0.

rx=2xzx      ----(1)

From 2nd relation:

Z3 – xy + yz + y3 = 1

Differentiate w.r.t x

3Z2zxy+yzx=0

(3Z2+y)zx=y

zx=y3z2+y      ----(2)

Substitute in (1)

rx=2ry3z2+y

At, (2, -1, 1)

(rx)(2,1,1)=2(2)13(1)2+(1)

=4+12

⇒ 9/2 = 4.5

Calculation:

Given:

v=(x2+y2+z2)12

vx=12(x2+y2+z2)32×2x=x(x2+y2+z2)32

2vx2=x{32(x2+y2+z2)52×2x}+(x2+y2+z2)32(1)

3x2(x2+y2+z2)52(x2+y2+z2)32

Similarly,

2vy2=3y2(x2+y2+z2)52(x2+y2+z2)32

2vz2=3z2(x2+y2+z2)52(x2+y2+z2)32

Now,2vx2+2vy2+2vz2=(3x2+3y2+3z2)(x2+y2+z2)523(x2+y2+z2)32

3(x2+y2+z2)(x2+y2+z2)523(x2+y2+z2)32

Differentiability Question 13 Detailed Solution

Concept:

A function f(x) is said to be increasing in the given interval if it’s first order differential f(x)0 holds for every point in the given interval.

Calculation:

Function I:

f(x)=exf(x)=ex

f(0)=1<0

Therefore, the function is non increasing.        

Function II:

f(x)=x2sinx,f(x)=2xcosx

f(0)=0cos0=1<0

Therefore, this function is also non increasing.

Furthermore, since cosine function is periodic function, it cannot be strictly increasing in the given range

Function III:

f(x)=x3+1

f(x)=3x22x3+1

f(0)=0,f(1)>0

Therefore, the function is increasing in the given interval.

Therefore f(x)=x3+1 function is the only increasing everywhere in [0, 1]

Hence Option(1) is the correct answer.

Differentiability Question 14 Detailed Solution

f(x,y)=ax2+by2xy=axy+byx

fx=x[axy+byx]

fx=aybyx2

At, x = 1 and y = 2, we get:

fx|x=1,y=2=a2b(2)12

=a22b   ----(1)

Similarly,

fy=y[axy+byx]

=axy2+bx

At, x = 1 and y = 2

fy|x=1,y=2=a4+b     ----(2)

For the given condition, equating the value of fx and fy at x = 1 and y = 2, we get:

a22b=a4+b

a2+a4=3b

2a+a4=3b

3a = 12b

a = 4b

Differentiability Question 15 Detailed Solution

Calculations:

Given equation is: f (x, y) = x2 + y3 ........... (1)

and

 x = t2 + t3  ............(2)

 y = 1 + t3   .............(3)

Using CHAIN RULE on equation 1,

dfdt=fxdxdt+fydydt   .............(4)

Now, finding out different terms of the above equation(4)

x = t2 + t3 

⇒ dxdt=2t+3t2

⇒ dxdt(t=1)=2×1+3×12=5

⇒ x (t = 1) = 12 + 13 = 2

y = 1 + t3 

⇒ dydt=3t2

⇒ dydt(t=1)=3×12=3

⇒ y (t = 1) = 1 + 13 = 2

f (x, y) = x2 + y3 

⇒ f= 2x 

So, fx (t = 1) = 2 × 2 = 4

⇒ fy = 3y2

So, fy (t = 1) = 3 × 22 = 12

Putting all values in equation 4, we get,

dfdt=4×5+3×12=56

So, dfdt(t=1)=56
