Let E be the ellipse $${{{x^2}} \over {16}} + {{{y^2}} \over 9} = 1$$. For any three distinct points P, Q and Q' on E, let M(P, Q) be the mid-point of the line segment joining P and Q, and M(P, Q') be the mid-point of the line segment joining P and Q'. Then the maximum possible value of the distance between M(P, Q) and M(P, Q'), as P, Q and Q' vary on E, is _______.

For any real number x, let [ x ] denote the largest integer less than or equal to x. If $$I = \int\limits_0^{10} {\left[ {\sqrt {{{10x} \over {x + 1}}} } \right]dx} $$, then the value of 9I is __________.

One end of a horizontal uniform beam of weight W and length L is hinged on a vertical wall at point O and its other end is supported by a light inextensible rope. The other end of the rope is fixed at point Q, at a height L above the hinge at point O. A block of weight $$\alpha$$W is attached at the point P of the beam, as shown in the figure (not to scale). The rope can sustain a maximum tension of (2$$\sqrt 2 $$)W. Which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct?

A source, approaching with speed u towards the open end of a stationary pipe of length L, is emitting a sound of frequency f_s. The farther end of the pipe is closed. The speed of sound in air is v and f₀ is the fundamental frequency of the pipe. For which of the following combination(s) of u and f_s, will the sound reaching the pipe lead to a resonance?
