Question 2 Explanation: 
\begin{aligned} \frac{d y}{d x}+\frac{x}{1-x^{2}} y&=x \sqrt{y}, \quad \text { IF }=?\\ \text{Divided by }\sqrt{y}\\ \frac{1}{\sqrt{y}} \frac{d y}{d x}+\frac{x}{1-x^{2}} \sqrt{y}&=x \\ 2 \frac{d u}{d x}+\frac{x}{1-x^{2}} u&=x\\ \text{Let }\qquad x \sqrt{y}&=u\\ \frac{1}{2 \sqrt{v}} \frac{d y}{d x}&=\frac{d u}{d x}\\ \Rightarrow \qquad \frac{d u}{d x}+\frac{x}{2\left(1-x^{2}\right)} u&=\frac{x}{2} \rightarrow \text{ lines diff. equ.} \\ \text { I. } F&=e^{\int \frac{x}{2\left(1-x^{2}\right)} d x}=e^{-\frac{1}{4} \log \left(1-x^{2}\right)}&=e^{\log \left(1-x^{2}\right) \frac{-1}{4}} \\ \text { I.F }&=\frac{1}{\left(1-x^{2}\right)^{\frac{1}{4}}} \end{aligned}

Question 5 Explanation: 
If two' N' point signals x(n) and h(n) are convolving with each other linearly and circularly
then
y(k)=z(k) at k=N-1
where, y(n)= Linear convolution of x(n) and h(n)
z(n)= Circular convolution of x(n) and h(n)
Since, N=16 (Given)
Therefore, \quad y(k)=z(k) at k=N-1=15
