IIT JAM 2025 Question 32: Classical assumptions and their violations

Which of the following is/are NOT the assumption(s) of Classical Linear Regression Model (CLRM)? (A) Variance of the dependent variable (YiY_iYi​) is greater than the variance of the explanatory variable (XiX_iXi​). (B) The model is linear in both parameters and variables. (C) Cov(Yi,ui)=0Cov(Y_i,u_i)=0Cov(Yi​,ui​)=0, where uiu_iui​ is the error term. (D) Cov(Xi,ui)=0Cov(X_i,u_i)=0Cov(Xi​,ui​)=0, where uiu_iui​ is the error term.

Which of the following is/are NOT the assumption(s) of Classical Linear Regression Model (CLRM)? (A) Variance of the dependent variable (Yᵢ) is greater than the variance of the explanatory variable (Xᵢ). (B) The model is linear in both parameters and variables. (C) Cov(Yᵢ,uᵢ)=0, where uᵢ is the error term. (D) Cov(Xᵢ,uᵢ)=0, where uᵢ is the error term. (A) Variance of the dependent variable (Yᵢ) is greater than the variance of the explanatory variable (Xᵢ). (B) The model is linear in both parameters and variables. (C) Cov(Yᵢ,uᵢ)=0, where uᵢ is the error term. (D) Cov(Xᵢ,uᵢ)=0, where uᵢ is the error term.

Also written as: Which of the following is/are NOT the assumption(s) of Classical Linear Regression Model (CLRM)? (A) Variance of the dependent variable (Y_i) is greater than the variance of the explanatory variable (X_i). (B) The model is linear in both parameters and variables. (C) Cov(Y_i,u_i)=0, where u_i is the error term. (D) Cov(X_i,u_i)=0, where u_i is the error term.
