The monhly sale for he pas 5 years are available. Sae, giving reasons, he ype of modelling you will use o obain good esimaes for fuure demand so as o help he company make he righ decisions. Also sae four essenials and four non-essenials for he problem. (6) b) Which one of he following porfolios canno lie on he efficien fronier as described by Markowiz? Porfolio Expeced reurn Sandard deviaion W 9% 1% X 5% 7% Y 15% % Z 1% 15% (3). a) Le G () be he amoun of he glucose in he bloodsream of a paien a ime. Assume ha he glucose is infused ino he bloodsream a a consan rae of k g / min. A he same ime, he glucose is convered and removed from he bloodsream a a rae proporional o he amoun of he glucose presen. If a = 0, G = G(0) hen i) formulae he model. ii) find G () a any ime. iii) discuss he long erm behavior of he model. (3) 9 b) Tumour is developing from he organ of a human body wih concenraion 3. 10 wih growh and decay conrol parameers 9. and.7 respecively. In how many days he size of he umour will be wice is size? (4) 3. a) Reurn disribuions of he wo securiies are given below: Reurn Probabiliies X Y p xj = p yj = p j 0.16 0.14 0.33 0.1 0.08 0.5 0.08 0.05 0.17 0.11 0.09 0.5 Find which securiy is more risky in he Markowiz sense.

The daa showing he age of 1 married couples is as follows: Husband s age 30 9 7 37 Wife s age 7 0 34 67 35 37 Husband s age 51 48 37 50 51 Wife s age 50 46 4 46 35 i) Draw a scaer plo of he daa (1) ii) Wrie wo imporan characerisics of he daa ha emerge from he scaer plo. () iii) Fi a linear regression model o he daa and inerpre he resul in erms of he comparaive change in he age of husband and wife. (3) iv) Calculae he sandard error of regression and he coefficien of deerminaion for he daa. (3) 5. Consider a discree model given by r N N = = ( ), 1 1 1+ > + f N r b N. 1 4

Invesigae he linear sabiliy abou he posiive seady sae * N by seing N = N * + n. Show ha n saisfies he equaion 1 n + 1 n + ( r 1) r n 1 = 0. Hence show ha r = is a bifurcaion value and ha as r he seady sae bifurcaes o a periodic soluion of period 6. (10) 6. a) The populaion dynamics of a species is governed by he discree model x = n xn+ 1 xn exp r 1, K where r and k are posiive consans. Deermine he seady saes and discuss he sabiliy of he model. Find he value of r a which firs bifurcaion occurs. Describe qualiaively he behaviours of he populaion for r = + ε, where 0 < ε << 1. Since a species becomes exinc if x n 1 for any n > 1, show using ieraions, ha irrespecive of he size of r > 1 he species could become exinc if he carrying capaciy r 1 k < r exp[1 + e r]. (7) b) Do he sabiliy analysis of he following model formulaed o sudy he effec of oxican on prey-predaor populaion and inerpre he soluion. dn 1 = r0 N1 r N 1C0 N1 bn1 dn = d0n d N 1V 0N + β0bn1 dc 0 = k1p g C 1C0 m1 0 dv 0 = kp g V V0 m 0 dp = Q hp kp ( N1 + N ) + gc0n1 +lv0n. Where all he variables and consans are same as defined in he sysem (3)-(35) of Block- of MMT-009 course excep for he following Q = consan inpu rae h = decay rae P() = environmenal oxican concenraion k = ingesion rae of oxican by he populaions g, l = reurn rae of oxican in he environmen afer he deah of he populaions, assuming ha oxican is non-degradable Q > 0, h, k, g, l are posiive consans. (8) 7. Consider he advecion-diffusion-reacion model of a single species populaion given by he following equaion: N N 1 N N = rn 1 + D v, 0 x K x x The iniial and boundary condiions are as follows: N ( x, 0) = f ( x) > 0 x; 0 x 5

N = a x = 0 and x =, i = 1, * N i * where N i are he seady-sae soluions of he given model. Obained he seady-sae soluions and do heir sabiliy analysis. Inerpre he soluions obained and also wrie he limiaions of he model. (10) 8. a) Maximize Z = 3x1 + x + 3x3, subjec o he consrains x 1 + x + x3 4, 4x 3x3, x1 3x + x3 3, ( x 1, x, x3) 0 and are inegers. (8) b) A ax consuling firm has 4 service couners in is office for receiving people who have problems and complains abou heir income, wealh and sales axes. Arrival average 80 persons in an 8-hour service day. Each ax advisor spends an irregular amoun of ime servicing he arrivals, which have been found o have an exponenial disribuion. The average service ime is 0 minues. Calculae he average number of cusomers in he sysem, average number of cusomers waiing o be serviced, average ime a cusomer spends in he sysem and average waiing ime for a cusomer. Calculae how many hours each week does a ax adviser spend performing his job. Wha is he probabiliy ha a cusomer has o wai before he ges service? Wha is he expeced number of idle ax advisers a any specified ime? (7) c) In machine mainenance firm, a mechanic repairs four machines. The mean ime beween service requiremen is 5 hours for each machine and forms an exponenial disribuion. The mean repair machine down ime coss Rs.5 per hour and he machine coss Rs.55 per day of an 8 hour day. i) Find he expeced number of operaing machines. ii) iii) Deermine he expeced down ime cos per day. Would i be economical o engage wo mechanics, each repairing only wo machines? (5) 6
