If $$x$$ is real, the maximum value of $${{3{x^2} + 9x + 17} \over {3{x^2} + 9x + 7}}$$ is

At an election, a voter may vote for any number of candidates, not greater than the number to be elected. There are 10 candidates and 4 are of be selected, if a voter votes for at least one candidate, then the number of ways in which he can vote is

If the expansion in powers of $$x$$ of the function $${1 \over {\left( {1 - ax} \right)\left( {1 - bx} \right)}}$$ is $${a_0} + {a_1}x + {a_2}{x^2} + {a_3}{x^3}.....$$ then $${a_n}$$ is

If $${{a_1},{a_2},....{a_n}}$$ are in H.P., then the expression $${{a_1}\,{a_2} + \,{a_2}\,{a_3}\, + .... + {a_{n - 1}}\,{a_n}}$$ is equal to
