1- If = , = then evaluate ( , )
.

∂ ( x, y, z )
2- If x = r sin θ cos ϕ , y = r sin θ sin ϕ , z = r cosθ , show that = r 2 sin θ .

3- If y1 = , y 2 = 1 3 , y 3 = 1 2 , then show that = 4.
x1 x2 x3 ∂(x1 , x 2 , x3 )
4- If = , = + + , = + + ( , , ).
5- If u , v , w are the roots of the cubic (λ − x )3 + (λ − y )3 + (λ − z )3 = 0 in λ , find
J(u,v,w).

6- If u = sin −1 x + sin −1 y , v = x 1 − y 2 + y 1 − x 2 , Is u and v functionally related?

If so, find the relationship.

7- The period of a simple pendulum is T = 2π . Find the maximum error in T
g
due to the possible errors upto 1% in l and 2.5% in g.
8- A balloon is in the form of right circular cylinder of radius 1.5 meter and length
4m and is surmounted by hemispherical ends. If the radius is increased by 0.01m
and the length by 0.05m, find the percentage change in the volume of the balloon
9- If Δ be the area of a triangle , prove that the error in Δ resulting from a error in c
∆ 1 1 1 1 
is given by δ∆ =  + + − δc.
4  s s − a s − b s − c 
10- In estimating the number of bricks in pile which is measured to be 5m×10m×5m
the count of bricks is taken as 100 bricks per m 3 . Find the error in the cost when
the tape is stretched 2% beyond its standard length .The cost of bricks is Rs 2000
per thousand bricks.
11- Test the function f ( x, y ) = x 3 y 2 (6 − x − y ) for maxima and minima for point not
at the origin.
12- Find the minimum value of + + , given that + + =
