INSTRUCTIONS:
i. Please write your Name and Roll Number correctly on the answer booklet.
ii. This exam contains 3 problems. Attempt all problems and answer all parts of a problems at the
same place.
iii. Start all new problem from new page.

1. For each of the following statements, determine if it is always true. If so, answer TRUE and
explain why it is always true; otherwise answer FALSE and provide a counter example. Note
that no credit will be given to a correct guess without any explanation or followed
by an incorrect justification.
