Q5. Which of the following is an analytic function of the complex variable z = x + iy in the
domain z < 2 ?
(a) (3 + x iy ) (b) (1 + x + iy ) (7 x iy )
7 4 3
(c) (1 x iy ) ( 7 x + iy ) (d) (x + iy 1)
4 3 1/ 2
Ans: (b)
Solution: Put z = x + iy . If z = x iy appears in any of the expressions then that expression is
1
non-analytic. For option (d) we have a branch point singularity as the power is which
2
is fractional. Hence only option (b) is analytic.

Ans: (a)
Solution: [ A, B ] = C AB BA = C ( AB BA) = C

Solution: Let x y be real part of a complex function. Use Milne Thomsons method to write
analytic complex function. The real part of that function should be (1) but that is not the
case. So this cannot be real part of an analytic function. Also,
z 2 = (x + iy ) = x 2 y 2 + 2ixy , Real part option (2)

Q70. Consider a random walker on a square lattice. At each step the walker moves to a nearest
neighbour site with equal probability for each of the four sites. The walker starts at the
origin and takes 3 steps. The probability that during this walk no site is visited more than
one is
(a) 12 / 27 (b) 27 / 64 (c) 3 / 8 (d) 9 /16
Ans.: (d)
Solution: Total number of ways = 4 4 4
Number of preferred outcome = 4 3 3
( Any four option in step-1 and only 3 option in step 2 &3 because he can not go to
previous position)
