Question 1. There are two individuals, 1 and 2. Suppose, they are o
ered
a lottery that gives Rs 160 or Rs 80 each with probability equal to 1/2. The
alternative to the lottery is a
xed amount of money given to the individual.
Assume that individuals are expected utility maximizers. Suppose, individual
1 will prefer to get Rs 110 with certainty over the lottery. However, Individual
2 is happy receiving a sure sum of Rs 90 rather than facing the lottery. Which
of the following statements is correct?
(a) both individuals are risk averse
EEE 2015 01 2
(b) 2 is risk averse but 1 loves risk
(c) 1 is risk averse but 2 loves risk
(d) none of the above
Answer: (a)
Question 2. Consider an exchange economy with agents 1 and 2 and goods
x and y. The agents' preferences over x and y are given. If it rains, 1's
endowment is (10, 0) and 2's endowment is (0, 10). If it shines, 1's endowment
is (0, 10) and 2's endowment is (10, 0).
(a) the set of Pareto e
cient allocations is independent of whether it rains
or shines
(b) the set of Pareto e
cient allocations will depend on the weather
(c) the set of Pareto e
cient allocations may depend on the weather
(d) whether the set of Pareto e
cient allocations varies with the weather
depends on the preferences of the agents
Answer: (a)
Question 3. Deadweight loss is a measure of
(a) change in consumer welfare
(b) change in producer welfare
(c) change in social welfare
(d) change in social inequality
Answer: (c)
Question 4. To regulate a natural monopolist with cost function C (q) =
a + bq , the government has to subsidize the monopolist under
(a) average cost pricing
(b) marginal cost pricing
(c) non-linear pricing
(d) all of the above

Question 6. Which of the following statements is correct?
(a) f is continuous and has partial derivatives at all points
(b) f is discontinuous but has partial derivatives at all points
(c) f is continuous but does not have partial derivatives at all points
(d) f is discontinuous and does not have partial derivatives at all points
Question 7. Which of the following statements is correct?
(a) f is continuous and di
erentiable
(b) f is discontinuous and di
erentiable
(c) f is continuous but not di
erentiable
(d) f is discontinuous and non-di
erentiable

Question 7. Which of the following statements is correct?
(a) f is continuous and di
erentiable
(b) f is discontinuous and di
erentiable
(c) f is continuous but not di
erentiable
(d) f is discontinuous and non-di
erentiable
Question 8. Consider the following system of equations:
x + 2y + 2z − s + 2t = 0
x + 2y + 3z + s + t = 0
3x + 6y + 8z + s + 4t = 0
The dimension of the solution space of this system of equations is
(a) 1
(b) 2
(c) 3
(d) 4
Question 9. The vectors v0,v1,...,vn in m are said to be affinely indepen-
dent if with scalars c0,c1,...,cn, ∑n
i=0
civi = 0 and ∑n
i=0
ci = 0 implies ci = 0
for i = 0,1,...,n. For such an affinely independent set of vectors, which of
the following is an implication:
I. v0,v1,...,vn are linearly independent.
II. (v1 − v0),(v2 − v0),...,(vn − v0) are linearly independent.
III. n ≤ m.
(a) Only I and II are true
(b) Only I and III are true
(c) Only II is true
(d) Only II and III are true
Question 10. 2 → 2 be a linear mapping (i.e., for every pair of vectors
(x1,x2),(y1,y2) and scalars c1,c2, F(c1(x1,x2) + c2(y1,y2)) = c1F(x1,x2) +
c2F(y1,y2).) Suppose F(1,2) = (2,3) and F(0,1) = (1,4). Then in general,
F(x1,x2) equals
(a) (x2,4x2)
(b) (x2,x1 + x2)
(c) (1 + x1,4x2)
(d) (x2,−5x1 + 4x2)
