1.

Which of the following statements are true? Give reasons for your answers.
(10)
[Note : Suppose the given statement is
lim ( x + y) = 2 . Simply saying that this is false is not
( x , y ) ( 0, 0 )

enough. You have to give reasons for saying so. The reasons may be a proof or an example. In
this case you should show that the limit is not 2 it is zero. Similarly, if you believe that a particular
statement is true, then you have to give a reason for saying so. For example, if the statement is like
the one given below.
A function of two variables which is continuous at a point need not have any of the partial
derivatives at that point.
This statement is true. Here you can give an example of a function f which is continuous at some
point and which does not have any of the partial derivatives at that point.]
