The quadratic equations $${x^2} - 6x + a = 0$$ and $${x^2} - cx + 6 = 0$$ have one root in common. The other roots of the first and second equations are integers in the ratio 4 : 3. Then the common root is

If the difference between the roots of the equation $${x^2} + ax + 1 = 0$$ is less than $$\sqrt 5 ,$$ then the set of possible values of $$a$$ is

If $$x$$ is real, the maximum value of $${{3{x^2} + 9x + 17} \over {3{x^2} + 9x + 7}}$$ is

If the roots of the quadratic equation $${x^2} + px + q = 0$$ are $$\tan {30^ \circ }$$ and $$\tan {15^ \circ }$$, respectively, then the value of $$2 + q - p$$ is
