Question 3
If \varphi (x,y) and \Psi (x,y) are functions with continuous second derivatives, then \varphi (x,y) + i \Psi (x,y) can be expressed as an analytic function of x + i y \; (i=\sqrt{-1}) , when
A
\frac{\partial \varphi }{\partial x}= -\frac{\partial \Psi }{\partial x}; \frac{\partial \varphi }{\partial y}= \frac{\partial \Psi }{\partial y}
B
\frac{\partial \varphi }{\partial y}= -\frac{\partial \Psi }{\partial x}; \frac{\partial \varphi }{\partial x}= \frac{\partial \Psi }{\partial y}
C
\frac{\partial^2 \varphi }{\partial x^2}+\frac{\partial^2 \varphi }{\partial y^2}=\frac{\partial^2 \Psi }{\partial x^2}+\frac{\partial^2 \Psi }{\partial y^2}=1
D
\frac{\partial \varphi }{\partial x}+\frac{\partial \varphi }{\partial y}=\frac{\partial \Psi }{\partial x}=\frac{\partial \Psi }{\partial y}= 0
Engineering Mathematics   Complex Variables
Question 3 Explanation: 
The necessary condition for a function
f(z)=\varphi(x, y)+i \psi(x, y) to be analytic
\left.\begin{array}{l}\text { (i) } \frac{\partial \varphi}{\partial x}=\frac{\partial \psi}{\partial y} \\ \text { (ii) } \frac{\partial \varphi}{\partial y}=-\frac{\partial \psi}{\partial x}\end{array}\right\} are known as Cauchy Reiman equations
Provided \frac{\partial \varphi}{\partial x}, \frac{\partial \varphi}{\partial y}, \frac{\partial \psi}{\partial x}, \frac{\partial \psi}{\partial y} exist.
Question 4
The partial differential equation \frac{\partial^2\varphi }{\partial x^2}+\frac{\partial^2\varphi }{\partial y^2}+\left ( \frac{\partial \varphi }{\partial x} \right )+\left ( \frac{\partial \varphi }{\partial y} \right )= 0 has
A
degree 1 order 2
B
degree 1 order 1
C
degree 2 order 1
D
degree 2 order 2
Engineering Mathematics   Differential Equations
Question 4 Explanation: 
Order: The order of a differential equation is the order of the highest derivative appears in the equation
Degree:The degree of a differential equation is the degree of the highest order differential coefficient or derivative, when the differential coefficient are free from radicals and fraction. The general solution of a differential equation of order 'n' must involve 'n' arbitrary constant.
Question 5
Which of the following relationships is valid only for reversible processes undergone by a closed system of simple compressible substance (neglect changes in kinetic and potential energy)?
A
\delta Q = dU + \delta W
B
T dS = dU + pdV
C
T dS = dU + \delta W
D
\delta Q = dU + p dV
Thermodynamics   First Law, Heat, Work and Energy
Question 5 Explanation: 
\delta Q=d U+p d V
This equation holds good for a closed system when only pdV work is present. This is true only for a reversible (quasistatic) process.
