The solution of the differential equation $${k^2}{{{d^2}y} \over {d\,{x^2}}} = y - {y_2}\,\,$$ under the boundary conditions (i) $$y = {y_1}$$ at $$x=0$$ and (ii) $$y = {y_2}$$ at $$x = \propto $$ where $$k$$, $${y_1}$$ and $${y_2}$$ are constant is

An examination consists of two papers, paper $$1$$ and paper $$2.$$ The probability of failing in paper $$1$$ is $$0.3$$ and that in paper $$2$$ is $$0.2.$$ Given that a student has failed in paper $$2,$$ the probability of failing in paper $$1$$ is $$0.6.$$ The probability of a student failing in both the papers is

If $$E$$ denotes expectation, the variance of a random variable $$X$$ is given by

Consider the function $$\,f\left( x \right) = {x^2} - x - 2.\,$$ The maximum value of $$f(x)$$ in the closed interval $$\left[ { - 4,4} \right]\,$$
