If $$a,\,b,\,c,\,d$$ and p are distinct real numbers such that $$$\left( {{a^2} + {b^2} + {c^2}} \right){p^2} - 2\left( {ab + bc + cd} \right)p + \left( {{b^2} + {c^2} + {d^2}} \right) \le 0$$$
then $$a,\,b,\,c,\,d$$

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
