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

The rational number, which equals the number $$2\overline {357} $$ with recurring decimal is

m men and n women are to be seated in a row so that no two women sit together. If $$m > n$$, then show that the number of ways in which they can be seated is $$\,{{m!(m + 1)!} \over {(m - n + 1)!}}$$

If $${\left( {1 + ax} \right)^n} = 1 + 8x + 24{x^2} + .....$$ then $$a=..........$$ and $$n =............$$
