    Given that f (z) = u + i v is analytic
    u (x,y) = 2 kxy       v = x² – y²
    ux = 2ky       vy = – 2y
    ux = vy
    k = –1
    uy = 2kx       vx = 2x
    uy = –vx
    2kx = –2x
    k = –1

    Correct Option: A

  1. A harmonic function is analytic if it satisfies the Laplace equation. If u(x, y) = 2x² – 2y² + 4xy is a harmonic function, t hen its conjugate harmonic function v (x, y) is

    u(x, y) = 2x² – 2y² + 4xy
    As harmonic function is analytic therefore,
    ux = Vy
    uy = – Vx
    ux = 4x + 4y

    δv
    Vy = 4x + 4y
    δy

    V = 4xy + 2y² + f(x)
    Now
    δv
    Vy + f'(x) = 4y - 4x
    δy

    f'(x) = – 4x
    f(x) = – 2x²2 + C
    So, conjugate harmonic function v(x, y) is,
    V = 2y² – 2x² + 4xy + C

    Correct Option: B

    u(x, y) = 2x² – 2y² + 4xy
    As harmonic function is analytic therefore,
    ux = Vy
    uy = – Vx
    ux = 4x + 4y

    δv
    Vy = 4x + 4y
    δy

    V = 4xy + 2y² + f(x)
    Now
    δv
    Vy + f'(x) = 4y - 4x
    δy

    f'(x) = – 4x
    f(x) = – 2x²2 + C
    So, conjugate harmonic function v(x, y) is,
    V = 2y² – 2x² + 4xy + C

    f(z) =
    cosz
    has simple pole at z = 0
    z

    ∴ Residue of f (z) at z = 0
    Ltf (z) = Lt cos z = 1
    z → 0       z → 0
    = 2 π i (Residue at z = 0)

    (P)defective = 0.05
    (P)non-defective = 1 – 0.05 = 0.95
    Probability that atleast two parts will be defective,

    = 1 – 0.829
    Required probability
    P = 0.1709 ≈ 0.17

    Correct Option: B

    (P)defective = 0.05
    (P)non-defective = 1 – 0.05 = 0.95
    Probability that atleast two parts will be defective,

    = 1 – 0.829
    Required probability
    P = 0.1709 ≈ 0.17
