ASSIGNMENT BOOKLET
Bachelors Degree Programme
(B.Sc./B.A./B.Com.)
CALCULUS
Valid from 1st January, 2015 to 31st December, 2015
It is compulsory to submit the Assignment before filling in the
Term-End Examination Form.
It is mandatory to register for a course before appearing in the TermEnd Examination of the course. Otherwise, your result will not be
declared.
For B.Sc. Students Only
You can take electives (56 or 64 credits) from a minimum of TWO and a
maximum of FOUR science disciplines, viz. Physics, Chemistry, Life
Sciences and Mathematics.
You can opt for elective courses worth a MINIMUM OF 8 CREDITS and a
MAXIMUM OF 48 CREDITS from any of these four disciplines.
At least 25% of the total credits that you register for in the elective
courses from Life Sciences, Chemistry and Physics disciplines must be
from the laboratory courses. For example, if you opt for a total of 24
credits of electives in these 3 disciplines, then at least 6 credits out of
those 24 credits should be from lab courses.

Dear Student,
Please read the section on assignments in the Programme Guide for elective courses that we sent you after
your enrolment. A weightage of 30 per cent, as you are aware, has been earmarked for continuous
evaluation, which would consist of one tutor-marked assignment for this course. The assignment is in
this booklet.
Instructions for Formating Your Assignments
Before attempting the assignment please read the following instructions carefully:
1) On top of the first page of your answer sheet, please write the details exactly in the following format:
ROLL NO.:
NAME :
ADDRESS :
COURSE CODE :
COURSE TITLE :
ASSIGNMENT NO.: .
STUDY CENTRE : ....
DATE :....
PLEASE FOLLOW THE ABOVE FORMAT STRICTLY TO FACILITATE EVALUATION AND
TO AVOID DELAY.
2) Use only foolscap size writing paper (but not of very thin variety) for writing your answers.
3) Leave 4 cm margin on the left, top and bottom of your answer sheet.
4) Your answers should be precise.
5) While solving problems, clearly indicate which part of which question is being solved.
6) This assignment is to be submitted to the Study Centre as per the schedule made by the study centre.
Answer sheets received after the due date shall not be accepted.
We strongly suggest that you retain a copy of your answer sheets.
7) This assignment is valid only upto December, 2015. If you have failed in this assignment or fail to
submit it by December, 2015, then you need to get the assignment for the year 2016 and submit it as
per the instructions given in the programme guide.
8) You cannot fill the exam form for this course till you have submitted this assignment. So solve it
and submit it to your study centre at the earliest.
We wish you good luck.

1.
Which of the following statement are true? Give reasons for your answers. (This means
that if you think a statement is false, give a short proof or an example that shows it is false.
If it is true, give short proof for saying so. For instance, to show that {1, Padma, blue} is a
set is true, you need to say that this is true because it is a well-defined collection of 3
objects.)

The cost of fuel in running an engine is proportional to the square of the speed in
