Q#1 Calculus GATE EC 2025 (Set 1) MCQ +1 mark -0.33 marks

Consider the following series:

(i)

(ii)

(iii)

Choose the correct option.

Only (ii) converges

Only (ii) and (iii) converge

Only (iii) converges

All three converge

Explanation:

(i)  (where  )

By -test,

 series is divergent.

(ii)

 

 

 

 series is convergent.

(iii)

By ratio test,

 

 

 series is convergent.

Hence, option (b) is correct.

Q#2 Calculus GATE EC 2025 (Set 1) MSQ +1 mark -0 marks

Consider the function , defined as

 

Which of the following statements is/are correct?

(Here,  is the set of real numbers.)

 has no global maximizer

 has no global minimizer

 is a local minimizer of

 is a local maximizer of

Explanation:

Stationary points:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Local Maxima

So, function has neither global maxima nor global minima.

Hence, option (a) and (b) are correct.

Q#3 Calculus GATE EC 2025 (Set 1) MCQ +2 marks -0.66 marks

Consider a non-negative function  which is continuous and bounded over the interval . Let  and  denote, respectively, the maximum and the minimum values of  over the interval.

Among the combinations of  and  given below, choose the one(s) for which the inequality   is guaranteed to hold.

Explanation:

Given:  for

 

 

 

 

 

Thus, m , also

And,  , also

 

Given that

Hence, option (A) is correct.

Q#5 Calculus GATE EC 2024 (Set 1) MSQ +1 mark -0 marks

Let  and  represent density and velocity, respectively, at a point  and time t. Assume  is continuous. Let  be an arbitrary volume in space enclosed by the closed surface  and  be the outward unit normal of  Which of the following equations is/are equivalent to  ?

Explanation:

Q#6 Calculus GATE EC 2024 (Set 1) MSQ +2 marks -0 marks

Let  be functions of (x, y, z). Suppose that for every given pair of points A and B in space, the line integral evaluates to the same value along any path C that starts at A and ends at B. Then which of the following is/are true? 

For every closed path T, we have

There exists a differentiable scalar function F(x,y,z) such that

Explanation:

  is independent of C

 is conservative.

Line Integral of conservative field over a closed curve is 0

 

 

 is correct

For conservative field the curl is zero

Hence the conservative field can be expressed as gradient of a scalar field

We can write

 

 is correct.

Also,  

 

 is correct
