Multiple choice

For the differential equation $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}$+ k2y = 0 the boundary conditions are (i) y = 0 for x = 0 and (ii) y = 0 for x = a The form of non-zero solutions of y (where m varies over all integers) are

  1. y = $\sum_m A_m sin \frac{m \pi x}{a}$
  2. y = $\sum_m A_m cos \frac{m \pi x}{a}$
  3. y = $\sum_m A_m \times \frac{m \pi }{a}$
  4. y = $\sum_m A_m e \frac{m \pi x}{a}$
