Let $$X$$ be a random variable with probability density function $$f\left( x \right) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {0.2} & {for\,\left| x \right| \le 1} \cr {0.1} & {for\,1 < \left| x \right| \le 4} \cr 0 & {otherwise} \cr } } \right.$$

The probability $$P\left( {0.5 < x < 5} \right)$$ is _________.

Consider the differential equation $${x^2}{{{d^2}y} \over {d{x^2}}} + x{{dy} \over {dx}} - y = 0.\,\,$$ Which of the following is a solution to this differential equation for $$x > 0?$$

The $$SCR$$ in the circuit shown has a latching current of $$40$$ $$mA.$$ A gate pulse of $$50$$ $$\mu s$$ is applied to the $$SCR$$. The maximum value of $$R$$ in $$\Omega $$ to ensure successful firing of the $$SCR$$ is ____________.
