Introduction

Instructions:
 • There are some questions which involve functions with discrete-valued domains (such as day, month, year, etc.).
 • For NAT-type questions, enter only one correct answer even if multiple answers are possible.
 • Notations: R=Set of real numbers\mathbb{R} = \text{Set of real numbers} Q=Set of rational numbers\mathbb{Q} = \text{Set of rational numbers} Z=Set of integers\mathbb{Z} = \text{Set of integers} N=Set of natural numbers\mathbb{N} = \text{Set of natural numbers}
 • The set of natural numbers includes 00
**Comprehension **  (Use the following information for Questions 13–14):
 Seven computers C0,C1,C2,C3,C4,C5,C6{C_0, C_1, C_2, C_3, C_4, C_5, C_6} are linked by a network, and each link has a maintenance cost. The graph represents how the computers are connected, where each node denotes a computer and each edge denotes a link between a pair of computers. The weights on the edges represent the maintenance cost (in hundreds of rupees). The objective is to select a subset of links such that the total maintenance cost is minimum while ensuring that all computers remain connected through the selected links.
