Three circles touch the one another externally. The tangent at their point of contact meet at a point whose distance from a point of contact is $$4$$. Find the ratio of the product of the radii to the sum of the radii of the circles.

A cubic $$f(x)$$ vanishes at $$x=2$$ and has relative minimum / maximum at $$x=-1$$ and $$x = {1 \over 3}$$ if $$\int\limits_{ - 1}^1 {f\,\,dx = {{14} \over 3}} $$, find the cubic $$f(x)$$.

What normal to the curve $$y = {x^2}$$ forms the shortest chord?

In this questions there are entries in columns $$I$$ and $$II$$. Each entry in column $$I$$ is related to exactly one entry in column $$II$$. Write the correct letter from column $$II$$ against the entry number in column $$I$$ in your answer book.

Let the functions defined in column $$I$$ have domain $$\left( { - {\pi \over 2},{\pi \over 2}} \right)$$

$$\,\,\,\,$$Column $$I$$
(A) $$x + \sin x$$
(B) $$\sec x$$

$$\,\,\,\,$$Column $$II$$
(p) increasing
(q) decreasing
(r) neither increasing nor decreasing
