Find the direction in which a straight line must be drawn through the point $$(1,2)$$ so that its point of intersection with the line $$x+y=4$$ may be at a distance of $$\sqrt{\frac{2}{3}}$$ from this point.
An urn contains 2 white and 2 black balls. A ball is drawn at random. If it is white it is not replaced into the urn. Otherwise it is replaced along with another ball of the same colour. The process is repeated. The probability that the third ball drawn is black is
The perpendicular distance of a line from the origin is 5 units and its slope is $$-1$$. The equation of the line is
Given $$a, b, c$$ are three unequal numbers such that $$\mathrm{b}$$ is arithmetic mean of $$a$$ and $$c$$ and $$(b-a),(c-b), a$$ are in geometric progression. Then $$a: b: c$$ is
