If $$a,\,b$$ and $$c$$ are distinct positive numbers, then the expression
$$\left( {b + c - a} \right)\left( {c + a - b} \right)\left( {a + b - c} \right) - abc$$ is

If $${\log _{0.3}}\,(x\, - \,1) < {\log _{0.09}}(x - 1)$$, then x lies in the interval-

The equation $$x - {2 \over {x - 1}} = 1 - {2 \over {x - 1}}$$ has

If $$\,{a^2} + {b^2} + {c^2} = 1$$, then ab + bc + ca lies in the interval
