When the following aldohexose exists in its D-configuration, the total number of stereoisomers in its pyranose form is ____________.

Let z be a complex number such that the imaginary part of z is non-zero and $$a\, = \,{z^2} + \,z\, + 1$$ is real. Then a cannot take the value

If $$\overrightarrow a ,\overrightarrow b $$ and $$\overrightarrow c $$ are unit vectors satisfying
$${\left| {\overrightarrow a - \overrightarrow b } \right|^2} + {\left| {\overrightarrow b - \overrightarrow c } \right|^2} + {\left| {\overrightarrow c - \overrightarrow a } \right|^2} = 9,$$ then $$\left| {2\overrightarrow a + 5\overrightarrow b + 5\overrightarrow c } \right|$$ is

Tangents are drawn to the hyperbola $${{{x^2}} \over 9} - {{{y^2}} \over 4} = 1,$$ parallel to the straight line $$2x - y = 1,$$ The points of contact of the tangents on the hyperbola are
