Let $f(x)$ be a twice differentiable function in $[1,3]$ and $f(1)=f(3)$. Further if $\left|f^{\prime \prime}(x)\right| \leq 2$, then for all $x$ in $[1,3]$

The quantities $a_1, a_2, a_3, \ldots$ form an infinite decreasing G.P. If $a_1=1$, then the common ratio of the progression for which the expression $6 a_5-16 a_4-3 a_3+12 a_2$ is at a maximum is

Tangent at a point $P_1$ (other than $(0,0)$ ) on the curve $y=x^3$ meets the curve again at $P_2$. The tangent at $P_2$ meets the curve at $\mathrm{P}_3$ and so on. Then the abscissae of $\mathrm{P}_1, \mathrm{P}_2, \mathrm{P}_3, \ldots, \mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{n}}$ form

Let $p(x)$ be a real polynomial of least degree which has a local maximum at $x=1$ and a local minimum at $x=3$. If $p(1)=6$ and $p(3)=2$, then $p^{\prime}(0)$ is equal to :
