Detailed Solution:
Let us simplify the matrix
4 1 1
1 1 1
7 3 1
0 5 3
R1 R1 4 R2 1 1 1
7 3 1
0 5 3
R3 R3 7 R2 1 1 1
0 10 6
0 5 3
R3 R3 2 R1 1 1 1
0 0 0
It cannot be further simplified and number of non-zero rows is two, hence rank is 2.

If y is the solution of the differential equation y3 x3 0, y(0) 1, the value of y(1) is
dx
(a) -2
(b) -1
(c) 0
(d) 1
Correct Answer: c
Detailed Solution:
dy
y3 x3 or, y3dy x3dx integrate and use the given boundary condition to find the constant.
dx
