The document presents a series of mathematical problems and proofs related to continuous functions, convergence of series, differentiability, entire functions, limits, differential equations, loan repayment models, and metric spaces. Each problem requires justification and proofs, addressing various concepts in real and complex analysis. The problems range from finding limits and convergence criteria to demonstrating properties of functions and systems of equations.

8. Munuram owes Rs 10, 000 to a Bank. The bank charges an


annual rate of 10%. Munuram makes payments continuously at
a constant rate of Rs 100 per month (i.e., Rs 1200 per year).
Set up the initial value problem for Munuram’s loan and find
the time T that it will take to pay off the debt.

9. Consider the metric d on R2 given by
