  • Question 1/25
    2 / -0.33

    Let X be an exponential random variable with rate parameter λ . Then find the variance of X.
    Solutions

    Probability density function: f(x) =  λ.e- λx , x>0

    Formula: Var(X) = E(X2) – [E(X)]2

    E(X) = 0x.f(x).dx

    E(X) = 0xλ.eλx.dx

    E(X) = 1λ

    E(X2) = 0x2.f(x).dx

    E(X2) = 0x2λ.eλx.dx

    E(X2) = 2λ2

    Now, put both the values in the variance formula

    Var(X) = E(X2) – [E(X)]2

    Var(X) = 2λ2  - (1λ)2 = 2λ2 - 1λ2

    Var(X) = 1λ2

    Solutions

    |A|=|3111113111113111113111113|

    R1 ↔ R5

    |A|=|1111313111113111113131111|

    R2 → R2 – R1

    R3 → R3 – R1

    R4 → R4 – R1

    R5 → R5 – 3R1

    |A|=|1111302002002020002202228|

    R5 → R5 + R2 + R3 + R4

    |A|=|11113020020020200022000014|

    Since it is a diagonal matrix it’s determinant is the product of diagonal element

    |A|=(1×2×2×2×14)

    |A|=112

  • Question 3/25

    [A:B]=[110101111011]

    R3 → R3 – R1

    =[110101110110]

    R3 → R3 + R2

    =[110101110021]

    Rank (A) = Rank (A : B) = n

    So, given equations are consistent and a single non trivial solution exists.
  • Question 4/25
    2 / -0.33

    Which one of the following does NOT equal |1xx21yy21zz2|?
    Solutions

    Concepts:

    1. Switching two rows or columns causes the determinant to switch sign
    2. Adding a multiple of one row/column to another row/column causes the determinant to remain the same

    Calculations:

    Now we can use the above concepts to determine the answer.

    For options 1.

    |1x(x+1)x+11y(y+1)y+11z(z+1)z+1|=|1x2+xx+11y2+yy+11z2+zz+1|

    c3c3c1.

    |1x2+xx1y2+yy1z2+zz|

    c2c2c3

    |1x2x1y2y1z2z|

    Since,

    |1x2x1y2y1z2z|=|1xx21yy21zz2|

    Therefore, switching two rows or columns causes the determinant to switch sign

    |1x2x1y2y1z2z||1xx21yy21zz2| 

    Therefore option 1 correct

  • Question 5/25
    2 / -0.33

    Consider a matrix Mn×n, the two eigenvalues of the matrix are 12 and 6 + √-1). If n is equal to three then what is the determinant of M?
    Solutions

    Concept:

    Determinant matrix M = product of its eigenvalues

    Calculation:

    Since it is 3 × 3 matrix, so roots will be 3 means 3 eigenvalues. Two eigenvalues are given as 12 and 6 + √-1)

    As 3 × 3 is a real matrix, in real matrix roots can never be imaginary. We have to take the complex roots in pair. So,

    Three eigenvalues are:

    12, (6 + √-1) and (6 - √-1), that is, 12, (6 + i) and (6 - i)

    Determinant matrix M = 12 × (6 + i) ×  (6 - i) = 444

    Important point: 

    √-1 = i → iota (imaginary number)

  • Question 6/25
    2 / -0.33

    For a random variable x having the PDF shown in the figure given below

     

    the mean and variance are, respectively

    Solutions

    Uniform density function:

    If the probability density function (pdf) is constant, the random variable is said to be uniformly distributed and the function is called ‘Uniform density function’

    Calculation:

     From the given pdf,

    f(x) = ¼

    Mean is calculated as:

    E[X] = xf(x)dx 

    =x×14dx

    =14[x22]13

    =14[912]

    =88=1

    Var[X] = E[X2] – {E[X]}2

    E[X2] = ​x2f(x)dx 

    =x214dx

    =14[x33]13

    =14[27(1)3]

    =2812=73

    Var [X] = E[X2] - {E[X]}2

    = 7/3 – (1)2

    = 4/3

    = 1.33

    Direct Formula:

    From the Uniform Density function we know two limits ‘a’ and ‘b’

    Mean is defined as:

    m=a+b2

    =1+32

    = 1

    Variance is defined as:

     =(ba)212 

    =(3(1))212

    =1612=43

    = 1.33

    Extra concept:

    Statistical averages are defined below:

    1. Mean or average value

    X¯=E[x]=m1=xf(x)dx

    2. Mean square value

    X2=E[X2]=m2=x2f(x)dx

    3. Variance

    σ2=E[(XX¯)2]=m2m12

    4. Standard deviation

    SD=variance=σ

    The rank of the matrix, M=[011101110], is _________.
    Solutions

    M=[011101110]

    Determinant = 0 – 1 (-1) + 1 (1) = 2 ≠ 0

    So, the rank of M is 3

    Alternate method:

    M=[011101110]

    R3 ↔ R1

    [110101011]

    R2 → R2 – R1

    [110011011]

    R3 → R3 + R2

    [110011002]

    Now it is in the Echelon form

    Rank = number of non-zero rows = 3

    f(x) = x2 for -1 ≤ x ≤ 1, and

    = 0 for any other value of x

    Then, the percentage probability P(13x13) is

    Solutions

    Given:  f(x) = x2 for -1 ≤ x ≤ 1, and

    = 0 for any other value of x

    (13x13)1313f(x)dx

    = 1313x2dx 

    |x33|1/3+1/3

    281

    The probability expressed in percentage,

    P = 281×100 = 2.469 %

    Solutions

    Using L Hospital’s

    f(x)=limx04x2(cos8xcos4x)

    =4limx02x(8sin8x+4sin4x)?

    =4limx02(64×cos8x+16cos4x)

    =864+16=848=16

    18× f(x) = 18 × -1/6 = -3

  • Question 11/25
    2 / -0.33

    Let A=(1101) then which of the following statements is/are true?
    Solutions

    Concept:

    If A is any square matrix of order n, we can form the matrix [A – λI], where I is the nth order unit matrix. The determinant of this matrix equated to zero i.e. |A – λI| = 0 is called the characteristic equation of A.

    The roots of the characteristic equation are called Eigenvalues or latent roots or characteristic roots of matrix A.

    Eigenvector (X) that corresponding to Eigenvalue (λ) satisfies the equation AX = λX.

    Properties of Eigenvalues:

    The sum of Eigenvalues of a matrix A is equal to the trace of that matrix A

    The product of Eigenvalues of a matrix A is equal to the determinant of that matrix A

    Calculation:

    A=(1101)

    The given matrix is triangular.

    Therefore, Eigenvalues = diagonal elements

    = 1, 1

    As the Eigenvalues are not unique, it is not diagonalizable.

    Determinant of A = 1 ≠ 0

    Therefore A is non-singular

    To get Eigenvector,

    Ax = λx

    [1101][x1x2]=1[x1x2]

    [x1x2x2]=[x1x2]

    ⇒ x2 = 0 and x1 can be any value.

    The Eigenvector is [k0] 

    Therefore, the given vector is Eigenvector.

  • Question 12/25
    2 / -0.33

    Consider two events X and Y. X and Y are independent events and both are equally likely events. If the probability of having X or Y is 34 then what is the probability of Y?

    NOTE:
    Answer up to 2 decimal places

    Solutions

    Probability of (X or Y) = P(X ∪ Y)  = 34

    Formula: 

    P(X ∪ Y) = P(X) + P(Y) – P(X ∩ Y)

    Two events are independent

    P(X ∩ Y) = P(X).P(Y)

    The two events are equally likely

    P(X) = P(Y) = p

    P(X ∪ Y) = p + p – p.p

    ∴ 34 = 2p – p2 

    3 = 8p  – 4p2

    4p2 – 8p + 3 = 0

    4p2 – 6p - 2p + 3 = 0

    2p (2p - 3) - (2p - 3) = 0

    (2p - 3)(2p - 1)

    p=12 or 32

    Since p  is always ≤ 1

    p=12=0.5

    the probability of Y is 0.5

  • Question 13/25
    2 / -0.33

    In the LU decomposition of the matrix [2249].The diagonal elements of U are both 1 and U12 is p, and the elements of L are x, 0, z and y in row major order. Which of the following is/are true?

    Solutions

    Given LU=[2249]

    [x0zy][1p01]=[2349]

    [xxpzzp+y]=[2249]

    z = 4

    x = 2,

    xp = 2 

    ∴ p = 1

    z = 4

    zp + y = 9

    (4)(1) + y = 9

    y = 9 - 4

    ∴ y = 5

  • Question 14/25
    2 / -0.33

    f(x) and g(x) are two functions differentiable in [0,1] such that f(0) = 2; g(0) = 0; f(1) = 6; and g(1) = 2. Then there must exist a constant c in ?
    Solutions

    Here, we have assume some function by checking options to solve these kind of questions

    Consider the function φ(x) = f(x) – 2 g(x)

    φ(0) = φ(1) = 2,

    So, f(x) satisfies the conditions of Roll’s theorem in [0, 1]

    Hence, φ’(x) = f’(x) – 2g’(x) has at least one 0 at in (0,1)

    i.e, φ’(c) = 0

    f’(c) – 2g’(c) = 0

    f’(c) = 2g’(c)

    Hence, There must exist a constant c in (0, 1), such that f’(c) = 2g’(c)

  • Question 15/25
    2 / -0.33

    X is a random variable with a uniform probability density function in the interval [-2, 10]. For Y = 2X – 6, the conditional probability P(Y ≤ 7 | X ≥ 5) (rounded off to three decimal places) is 
    Solutions

    The area under the curve must be 1, i.e.

    (10 + 2) × a = 1

    a=112

    fx(x)={112   2x100    otherwise}

    Now, y = 2x – 6

    ∴ fy(y) can be defined as:

    fy(y)={   124   10x140        otherwise

     

     

    If x ≥ 5, then y ≥ 4

    So, P(y ≤ 7|x ≥ 5) = P(y ≤ 7|y ≥ 4)

    P(y7 | x5)=P(4y7)P(4y14)

    P(y7 | x5)=P(4y7)P(4y14)

    =310

    = 0.3

  • Question 16/25
    2 / -0.33

    Find the eigen vector corresponding to Largest eigen value of matrix A = [111111111]
    Solutions

    Using characteristic equation | A - λI| = 0, we get

    (1-λ) (λ2-2) + (2-λ) – λ = -λ3 + λ2 = 0

    Hence, λ = 0, λ = 1

    The largest eigen value is 1, so we calculate the eigen vector corresponding to eigen value 1.

    A – I = [011121110] , R1↔ R2

    = [121011110] , R3 ← R2 + R1

    = [121011011] , R3 ← R3 + R2

    = [121011000] , R1 ← R1 + 2R2

    = [101011000] 

    [ A – I] x = 0

    x1 – x3 = 0, x1 = x3

    -x2 + x3 = 0, x2 = x3

    [x1x2x3]=[x3x3x3]=[111]x3

    Vector corresponding to eigen value 1 is x = [111]

    P(AB)=25

    Also, P(AB)=A(AB)P(B),

    45=25P(B) ,

    P(B)=12

    Required probability, P(AB)=P(AB)P(B)

  • Question 18/25
    2 / -0.33

    Consider a differentiable function f(x) on the set of real numbers such that f(−1) = 0 and |f′(x)| ≤ 2. Given these conditions, which one of the following inequalities is necessarily true for all x ∈ [−2 , 2] ?

    Solutions

    Given:

    f(-1) = 0

    |f’(x)| ≤ 2

    -2 ≤ f ’(x) ≤ 2

    Using Lagrange mean value theorem:

    f(x)=f(b)f(a)ba

    Since value of f (-1) = 0 is given, we take the interval [-1, 2], i.e.

    -2 ≤ f’(x) ≤ 2

    2f(2)f(1)2(1)2

    2f(2)32

    -6 ≤ f(2) ≤ 6

    We observe that option (a) satisfies this condition.

  • Question 19/25
    2 / -0.33

    Let M and N two n × n matrices over real numbers. Let rank(M) and det(M) denote the rank and determinant of a matrix M, respectively. 

    Which of the below-given statements is/are FALSE?

    Solutions

    Concept:

    Properties of Rank:

    Rank of a matrix is the number of independent rows in the given matrix. Given two square matrices A and B of order n × n, we have following properties:

    1. Rank of product of A and B i.e. Rank (AB) ≥ Rank (A) + Rank (B) – order of square matrix

    2. Rank of sum of A and B i.e. Rank (A + B) ≤ Rank (A) + Rank (B).

    Properties of Determinant:

    Given two square matrices A and B of order n × n and their determinants Det(A) and Det(B) respectively, determinant of their product i.e Det( AB) = Det(A) * Det(B). However, the same does not hold for the addition of the given matrices.

    Example:

    Consider two square matrices A and B each of order 2×2.

    M=[2134]Rank(M)=2,Det(M)=5

    N=[1001]Rank(N)=2,Det(N)=1

    MN=[2134]×[1001]=[2134]Rank(MN)=2,Det(MN)=5

    M+N=[2134]+[1001]=[3135]Rank(M+N)=2,Det(M+N)=12

    Option 1 is TRUE.  

    Rank(M + N) = 2. Sum of rank of M and N is: 2 + 2 = 4. Therefore, the relation: Rank( M + N) ≤ Rank M) + Rank (N) holds true

    Therefore, the rank of the addition matrix is less than or equal to the sum of the rank of the individual matrices.

    Option 2: FALSE.

    The rank of product matrix MN is 2. Product of Rank(M) and Rank(N) is: 2*2 = 4. Therefore, the rank of the product matrix is not equal to the product of the rank of individual matrices.

    Option 3 is TRUE. 

    Det(MN)= 5 = Det(M) * Det(N)

    Option 4 is FALSE.  

    Det(M+N)= 12, which is greater than the sum of the determinants of individual matrices.

  • Question 20/25
    2 / -0.33

    A function f (x) is defined as g(t)={ex,x<1lnx+ax2+bx,x1, where x ϵ R. Which one of the following statements is TRUE?
    Solutions

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

    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.

    Diff w.r.t to x

    f(x)=3x236x+105

    f(x)=6x36

    To find maxima or minima

  • Question 24/25
    2 / -0.33

    Consider a 2 × 2 matrix M=[v1v2], where, v1 and v2 are the column vectors. Suppose M1=[u1Tu2T], where uT1 and uT2 are the row vectors. Consider the following statements.

    Statement: uT1v1 = 1 and uT2v2 = 1

    Statement: uT1v2 = 0 and uT2v1 = 0

    Which of the following options is correct?
    Solutions

    Let matrix M=[abcd]

    v1=[ac],v2=[bd]

    M1=1adbc[dbca]

    u1T=1adbc[db]

    u2T=1adbc[ca]

    u1Tv1=1abbc[db][ac]=1

    u2Tv2=1abbc[ca][bd]=1

    u1Tv2=1adbc[db][bd]=0

    u2Tv1=1adbc[ca][ac]=0

    Both the given statements are true.
  • Question 25/25
    2 / -0.33

    For the linear equation

    a + 3b – 2c = -1

    5b + 3c = -8

    a – 2b – 5c = 7

    determine which of the following statements is true?
    Solutions

    The coefficient matrix of the given linear equation is

    [132053125][abc]=[187]

    letA=[132053125]

    order = 3

    Let the augmented matrix be

    X=[132053125|187]

    R3 → R3 – R1

    X[132053053|188]

    X[132053000|180]

    Since Rank of A = Rank of X < 3

    Therefore, the system has infinitely many solutions.
