Let S be the circle in the XY-plane defined the equation x² + y² = 4.

Let E₁E₂ and F₁F₂ be the chords of S passing through the point P₀ (1, 1) and parallel to the X-axis and the Y-axis, respectively. Let G₁G₂ be the chord of S passing through P₀ and having slope$$-$$1. Let the tangents to S at E₁ and E₂ meet at E₃, then tangents to S at F₁ and F₂ meet at F₃, and the tangents to S at G₁ and G₂ meet at G₃. Then, the points E₃, F₃ and G₃ lie on the curve

Let S be the circle in the XY-plane defined the equation x² + y² = 4.

Let P be a point on the circle S with both coordinates being positive. Let the tangent to S at P intersect the coordinate axes at the points M and N. Then, the mid-point of the line segment MN must lie on the curve

There are five students S₁, S₂, S₃, S₄ and S₅ in a music class and for them there are five seats R₁, R₂, R₃, R₄ and R₅ arranged in a row, where initially the seat R_i is allotted to the student S_i, i = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. But, on the examination day, the five students are randomly allotted the five seats.

(There are two questions based on Paragraph "A", the question given below is one of them)

The probability that, on the examination day, the student S₁ gets the previously allotted seat R₁, and NONE of the remaining students gets the seat previously allotted to him/her is

(There are two questions based on Paragraph "A", the question given below is one of them)

For i = 1, 2, 3, 4, let T_i denote the event that the students S_i and S_i+1 do NOT sit adjacent to each other on the day of the examination. Then, the probability of the event $${T_1} \cap {T_2} \cap {T_3} \cap {T_4}$$ is
