b. Every peoples in our country are loyal.
c. Some people hate good people.

State ceiling function and floor function with examples. How mathematical induction can be used to prove the correctness of recursive algorithm? Illustrate with an example.

What does connectivity in graphs mean? Differentiate between permutation and combination. Solve the recurrence relation \( a_n = 7a_{n-1} - 10a_{n-2} \) with initial conditions \( a_0 = 2 \) and \( a_1 = 3 \).
