The minimum area of triangle formed by the tangent to the $${{{x^2}} \over {{a^2}}} + {{{y^2}} \over {{b^2}}} = 1$$ and coordinate axes is

A circle is given by $${x^2}\, + \,{(y\, - \,1\,)^2}\, = \,1$$, another circle C touches it externally and also the x-axis, then thelocus of its centre is

In the quadratic equation $$\,\,a{x^2} + bx + c = 0,$$ $$\Delta $$ $$ = {b^2} - 4ac$$ and $$\alpha + \beta ,\,{\alpha ^2} + {\beta ^2},\,{\alpha ^3} + {\beta ^3},$$ are in G.P. where $$\alpha ,\beta $$ are the root of $$\,\,a{x^2} + bx + c = 0,$$ then

If the LCM of p, q is $${r^2}\,{r^4}\,{s^2}$$, where r, s, t are prime numbers and p, q are the positive integers then number of ordered pair (p, q) is
