• Write your Name, University Roll No., College and Course on the first page and
your Roll No. on each subsequent answer sheet. • Attempt five questions in all. •
Question No. 1 is compulsory. Attempt any four from the remaining six questions. •
All the questions carry equal marks. • All the symbols have their usual meanings.
(1) (a) Prove or disprove: Every non empty Gδ subset of R has positive measure. (3)
(b) If G = ∪∞ 1 1
n=1 (rn − 2n2 , rn + 2n2 ), where {rn } is an enumeration of Q, prove that
m(G∆Q) = m(G) < ∞. (3)
(c) Let f (x) = 1 ∀ x ∈ Q and f (x) = ∞ ∀ x ∈ Q0 . Is f Lebesgue measurable ? Is it
Lebesgue integrable? (4)
(d) Let f (x) = 0 a.e. on [2, 3]. Prove or disprove: f ∈ BV [2, 3]. (4)
(2) (a) Prove that for any subset E of R, (7)

(b) P
n∈A an . Show that [[N, P(N), µ]] is a measure space. Also show that µ is a
complete and σ-finite measure. (7 )
(3) (a) For an decreasing sequence of sets {Ei }∞
i=1 , determine the lim Ei . Further use it
n−1
to find m(lim En ), where En = ( n , 1], n ∈ N. (5+2)
(b) Let f be bounded over R. Illustrate by an example that if f is Riemann integrable
over R, then it need not be Lebesgue integrable over R. Determine a necessary
condition under which Riemann integrability of f on R ensures the Lebesgue
integrability. (7)
(4) (a) Let f be a real valued monotonically decreasing function on [a, b]. Prove that f
is Lebesgue integrable on [a, b]. (7)
(b) Let {fn } be a sequence of measurable functions which converge to f a.e. . Prove
that {fn } converges to f in measure. Is the converse true? Justify your answer.
(7)
(5) (a) Let f and g be extended real valued measurable functions defined on a Lebesgue
measurable set A. Prove that f − g is measurable. What can you say about the
measurability of |f − g|. Give proper justification for your answer. (7)

(6) (a) Prove of disprove: Inverse image of a Lebesgue measurable set under a Lebesgue
measurable function is Lebesgue measurable. (7)
(b) For a measure space [[X, S, µ]], discuss the relationship between Lp (µ) and Lq (µ),
where 0 < p < q ≤ ∞. (7)
(7) (a) Let C be the Cantor set and f be a function defined as f (x) = 0, ∀x ∈ C,
f (x) = p in each complimentary −p
R interval of length 3 and 0 elsewhere. Prove
that f is measurable and that f dx = 3. (7)
(b) Prove that if f is an absolutely continuous function on [a, b] then it is of bounded
variations on [a, b]. Give example to prove that the converse need not be true.
