A box contains $$2$$ fifty paise coins, $$5$$ twenty five paise coins and a certain fixed number $$N\,\,\left( { \ge 2} \right)$$ of ten and five paise coins. Five coins are taken out of the box at random. Find the probability that the total value of these $$5$$ coins is less than one rupee and fifty paise.

The components of a vector $$\overrightarrow a $$ along and perpendicular to a non-zero vector $$\overrightarrow b $$ are ......and .....respectively.

Let $$\overrightarrow a ,\overrightarrow b ,\overrightarrow c ,$$ be three non-coplanar vectors and $$\overrightarrow p ,\overrightarrow q ,\overrightarrow r,$$ are vectors defined by the relations $$\overrightarrow p = {{\overrightarrow b \times \overrightarrow c } \over {\left[ {\overrightarrow a \overrightarrow b \overrightarrow c } \right]}},\,\,\overrightarrow q = {{\overrightarrow c \times \overrightarrow a } \over {\left[ {\overrightarrow a \overrightarrow b \overrightarrow c } \right]}},\,\,\overrightarrow r = {{\overrightarrow a \times \overrightarrow b } \over {\left[ {\overrightarrow a \overrightarrow b \overrightarrow c } \right]}}$$ then the value of the expression $$\left( {\overrightarrow a + \overrightarrow b } \right).\overrightarrow p + \left( {\overrightarrow b + \overrightarrow c } \right).\overrightarrow q + \left( {\overrightarrow c + \overrightarrow a } \right),\overrightarrow r $$ is equal to

Let $$OA$$ $$CB$$ be a parallelogram with $$O$$ at the origin and $$OC$$ a diagonal. Let $$D$$ be the midpoint of $$OA.$$ Using vector methods prove that $$BD$$ and $$CO$$ intersect in the same ratio. Determine this ratio.
