Questions

  1. Q. 1
    • (a)
      Expand a fourier series of f(x)=x2,  1<x<2f(x) = x^{2},\ \ 1 < x < 2

    • (b)
      Find equation of integral surface of the differential equation 2y(z−3)p+(2x−z)2y(z - 3)p + (2x - z) which passes through the circle x2+y2=2x,z=0x^{2} + y^{2} = 2x, \qquad z = 0.

  1. Attempt only FIVE questions in all. ALL questions carry EQUAL marks.
  2. All the parts (if any) of each Question must be attempted at one place instead of at different places.
  3. Write Q. No. in the Answer Book in accordance with Q. No. in the Q.Paper.
  4. No Page/Space be left blank between the answers. All the blank pages of Answer Book must be crossed.
  5. Extra attempt of any question or any part of the attempted question will not be considered.
  6. Use of Calculator is allowed.

FPSC's wording, numbering and marks, as printed. Obvious misprints (a garbled word, a broken number) are corrected; everything else is kept as FPSC printed it.

The written exam starts with the MPT

Only candidates who pass the MCQ screening test (MPT) sit the written papers. Practice the 200-question MPT under exam conditions first.
