Section A: Compulsory (31 Marks) Answer All The Questions in This Section

This document contains 7 questions related to solving different types of differential equations. Question 1 involves solving a third order homogeneous differential equation and forming a differential equation from a given function. Question 2 contains two parts about solving first order differential equations, one involving a separable equation and the other a first order linear equation. Questions 3-6 involve using specific methods like undetermined coefficients, D-operator method, variation of parameters, and solving a Cauchy-Euler equation. Question 7 has two parts, the first solving an exact first order differential equation and the second finding the value of λ that makes a given equation exact.
