The end $$A, B$$ of a straight line segment of constant length $$c$$ slide upon the fixed rectangular axes $$OX, OY$$ respectively. If the rectangle $$OAPB$$ be completed, then show that the locus of the foot of the perpendicular drawn from $$P$$ to $$AB$$ is $${x^{{2 \over 3}}} + {y^{{2 \over 3}}} = {c^{{2 \over 3}}}$$

The straight lines $$x + y = 0,\,3x + y - 4 = 0,\,x + 3y - 4 = 0$$ form a triangle which is

Find three numbers $$a,b,c$$ between $$2$$ and $$18$$ such that
(i) their sum is $$25$$
(ii) the numbers $$2,$$ $$a, b$$ are consecutive terms of an A.P. and
(iii) the numbers $$b,c,18$$ are consecutive terms of a G.P.

The straight line $$5x + 4y = 0$$ passes through the point of intersection of the straight lines $$x + 2y - 10 = 0$$ and $$2x + y + 5 = 0.$$
