The shortest distance between the point  $$\left( {{3 \over 2},0} \right)$$   and the curve y = $$\sqrt x $$, (x > 0), is -

The maximum volume (in cu.m) of the right circular cone having slant height 3 m is :

Let M and m be respectively the absolute maximum and the absolute minimum values of the function, f(x) = 2x³ $$-$$ 9x² + 12x + 5 in the interval [0, 3]. Then M $$-$$m is equal to :

Let $$f\left( x \right) = {x^2} + {1 \over {{x^2}}}$$ and $$g\left( x \right) = x - {1 \over x}$$,
$$x \in R - \left\{ { - 1,0,1} \right\}$$.
If $$h\left( x \right) = {{f\left( x \right)} \over {g\left( x \right)}}$$, then the local minimum value of h(x) is
