M.A./M.Sc. Mathematics Examinations, December 2016
Part I Semester I
MATH14-103: Measure and Integration

Time: 3 hours Maximum Marks: 70


Instructions: All sections are compulsory. Attempt any three questions
from Section I, two questions from Section II and two questions from Section
III. Symbols have their usual meaning. [a, b] denotes a finite interval.
