Let $$\overrightarrow a = 2\widehat i + \widehat j - \widehat k$$ and $$\overrightarrow b = \widehat i + 2\widehat j + \widehat k$$ be two vectors. Consider a vector c = $$\alpha $$$$\overrightarrow a$$ + $$\beta $$$$\overrightarrow b$$, $$\alpha $$, $$\beta $$ $$ \in $$ R. If the projection of $$\overrightarrow c$$ on the vector ($$\overrightarrow a$$ + $$\overrightarrow b$$) is $$3\sqrt 2 $$, then the
minimum value of ($$\overrightarrow c$$ $$-$$($$\overrightarrow a$$ $$ \times $$ $$\overrightarrow b$$)).$$\overrightarrow c$$ equals ................

Let |X| denote the number of elements in a set X. Let S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} be a sample space, where each element is equally likely to occur. If A and B are independent events associated with S, then the number of ordered pairs (A, B) such that 1 $$ \le $$ |B| < |A|, equals .............

Suppose

det$$\left| {\matrix{ {\sum\limits_{k = 0}^n k } & {\sum\limits_{k = 0}^n {{}^n{C_k}{k^2}} } \cr {\sum\limits_{k = 0}^n {{}^n{C_k}.k} } & {\sum\limits_{k = 0}^n {{}^n{C_k}{3^k}} } \cr } } \right| = 0$$

holds for some positive integer n. Then $$\sum\limits_{k = 0}^n {{{{}^n{C_k}} \over {k + 1}}} $$ equals ..............

Five persons A, B, C, D and E are seated in a circular arrangement. If each of them is given a hat of one of the three colours red, blue and green, then the number of ways of distributing the hats such that the persons seated in adjacent seats get different coloured hats is ............
