Let $S$ be the set of all ternary strings defined over the alphabet $\{a, b, c\}$. Consider all strings in $S$ that contain at least one occurrence of two consecutive symbols, that is, "aa", "bb" or "cc". The number of such strings of length 5 that are possible is __________ (Answer in integer)

Consider the given function $f(x)$.

$$f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{cc} a x+b & \text { for } x<1 \\ x^3+x^2+1 & \text { for } x \geq 1 \end{array}\right.$$

If the function is differentiable everywhere, the value of $b$ must be _________ (Rounded off to one decimal place)

A box contains 5 coins: 4 regular coins and 1 fake coin. When a regular coin is tossed, the probability $P($ head $)=0.5$ and for a fake coin, $P($ head $)=1$. You pick a coin at random and toss it twice, and get two heads. The probability that the coin you have chosen is the fake coin is ________ . (Rounded off to two decimal places)
