Question 2 Explanation: 
Given equation
\frac{d y}{d x}+2 x y=\sigma^{x^{2}}
Integrating factor
\begin{aligned} \text { I.F. } &=\mathrm{e}^{\int 2 x \;dx}=e^{x^{2}} \\ \text { Solution is } y x^{e^{x^{2}}}&=\int e^{-x^{2}} \cdot e^{x^{2}} d x \\ \therefore \quad y x^{ e^{x^{2}}}&=x+c\\ d t x &=0 \\ y &=1\\ \therefore \; \; c&=1 \\ y&=(1+x) e^{-x^{2}} \end{aligned}


Question 3
Let x denote a real number. Find out the INCORRECT statement.
A
S = \left \{ x : x \gt 3 \right \} represents the set of all real numbers greater than 3
B
S=\left \{ x : x^{2} \lt 0 \right \} represents the empty set
C
S=\left \{ x : x \in A \; and \; x \in B \right \} represents the union of set A and set B
D
S = \left \{ x : a \lt x \lt b \right \} represents the set of all real numbers between a and b, where a and b are real numbers.

Question 3 Explanation: 
The incorrect statement is, S=\left \{ x : x \in A \; and \; x \in B \right \} represents the union of set A and set B
As and represents the intersection not union.
Question 4
A box contains 20 defective items and 80 non-defective items. If two items are selected at random without replacement, what will be the probability that both items are defective.?
A
\frac{1}{5}
B
\frac{1}{25}
C
\frac{20}{99}
D
\frac{19}{495}
Engineering Mathematics   Probability and Statistics
Question 4 Explanation: 
Probability of first item being defective is
P_{1}=\frac{20}{100}
Probability that second item being defective is
P_{2}=\frac{19}{99}
Probability that both are defective
P=P_{1} P_{2}=\frac{20}{100} \times \frac{19}{99}=\frac{19}{495}
Question 5
For a circular shaft of diameter d subjected to torque T, the maximum value of the shear stress is:
A
\frac{64T}{\pi d^{3}}
B
\frac{32T}{\pi d^{3}}
C
\frac{16T}{\pi d^{3}}
D
\frac{8T}{\pi d^{3}}
Strength of Materials   Torsion of Shafts
Question 5 Explanation: 
\begin{aligned} \frac{T}{J} &=\frac{\tau}{d / 2} \\ \Rightarrow \qquad \frac{T}{\frac{\pi}{32} d^{4}} &=\frac{\tau}{d / 2} \\ \therefore \qquad & \tau=\frac{16 T}{\pi d^{3}} \end{aligned}
