The number of values of $$k$$, for which the system of equations : $$$\matrix{ {\left( {k + 1} \right)x + 8y = 4k} \cr {kx + \left( {k + 3} \right)y = 3k - 1} \cr } $$$
has no solution, is

The real number $$k$$ for which the equation, $$2{x^3} + 3x + k = 0$$ has two distinct real roots in $$\left[ {0,\,1} \right]$$

If the equations $${x^2} + 2x + 3 = 0$$ and $$a{x^2} + bx + c = 0,$$ $$a,\,b,\,c\, \in \,R,$$ have a common root, then $$a\,:b\,:c\,$$ is

The equation $${e^{\sin x}} - {e^{ - \sin x}} - 4 = 0$$ has:
