Question 1 |
If y(x) satisfies the differential equation
(\sin x)\frac{dy}{dx}+y \cos x =1
subject to the condition y(\pi /2)=\pi /2, then y(\pi /6) is

Question 1 Explanation:
\begin{aligned} \frac{d y}{d x}+y \cot x&=\text{cosec} x\\ 1.F. \qquad&=e^{\int \cot x d x}=e^{\log \sin x}=\sin x\\ \Rightarrow \quad y(\sin x)&=\int \text{cosec} x \sin x d x+c\\ \Rightarrow \qquad y \sin x&=x+c\\ \Rightarrow \qquad \frac{\pi}{2} \sin \frac{\pi}{2} & =\frac{\pi}{2}+c \\ \Rightarrow \qquad \frac{\pi}{2} & =\frac{\pi}{2}+c \quad \Rightarrow c=0 \\ \Rightarrow \qquad y \sin x & =x\\ \Rightarrow \qquad y \sin \frac{\pi}{6}&=\frac{\pi}{6}\\ \Rightarrow \qquad y\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) &=\frac{\pi}{6} \\ \Rightarrow y &=\frac{\pi}{3} \end{aligned}

Question 3 Explanation:
\begin{aligned} \because \qquad \int_{0}^{-} f(t) \delta(t-a) d t&=f(a) \\ \therefore \qquad L\{\delta(t-a)\}&=\int_{0}^{-} e^{-s t} \delta(t-a) d t=e^{-a s} \end{aligned}
Question 4 |
The ordinary differential equation \frac{dy}{dt}=-\pi y subject to an initial condition y(0)=1 is solved numerically using the following scheme:
\frac{y(t_{n+1})-y(t_n)}{h}=-\pi y(t_n)
where h is the time step, t_n=nh, and n=0,1,2,.... This numerical scheme is stable for all values of h in the interval.
\frac{y(t_{n+1})-y(t_n)}{h}=-\pi y(t_n)
where h is the time step, t_n=nh, and n=0,1,2,.... This numerical scheme is stable for all values of h in the interval.
0 \lt h \lt \frac{2}{\pi} | |
0 \lt h \lt 1 | |
0 \lt h \lt \frac{\pi}{2} | |
for all h \gt 0 |
Question 4 Explanation:
\begin{aligned} \frac{y\left(t_{n+1}\right)-y\left(t_{n}\right)}{h} &=-\pi y\left(t_{n}\right) \\ y_{n+1} &=-\pi / y_{n}+y_{n}=(-\pi h+1) y_{n} \end{aligned}
It is recursion relation between y_{n+1} and y_{n}
So solution will be stable if
\begin{aligned} |-\pi h+1| & \lt 1 \\ -1 \lt -\pi h+1 & \lt 1 \\ -2 \lt -\pi h & \lt 0 \\ 0 & \lt \pi h \lt 2 \\ 0 & \lt h \lt \frac{2}{\pi} \end{aligned}
Therefore option (A) is correct.

Therefore option (A) is correct.

Question 8 |
The correct sequence of machining operations to be performed to finish a large diameter through hole is
drilling, boring, reaming | |
boring, drilling, reaming | |
drilling, reaming, boring | |
boring, reaming, drilling |
Question 8 Explanation:
Drilling: to produce a hole, which then may be followed by boring it to improve its dimensional accuracy and surface finish.
Boring: to enlarge a hole or cylindrical cavity made by a previous process or to produce circular internal grooves.
Reaming: is an operation used to (a) make an existing hole dimensionally more accurate than can br achived by drilling alone and (b) improve its surface finish. The most accurate holes in workpieces generally are produced by the following sequence of operation.
Centering -> Drilling -> Boring -> Reaming.
