The shortest distance between the line $$y - x = 1$$ and the curve $$x = {y^2}$$ is :

The lines $$p\left( {{p^2} + 1} \right)x - y + q = 0$$ and $$\left( {{p^2} + 1} \right){}^2x + \left( {{p^2} + 1} \right)y + 2q$$ $$=0$$ are perpendicular to a common line for :

Three distinct points A, B and C are given in the 2 -dimensional coordinates plane such that the ratio of the distance of any one of them from the point $$(1, 0)$$ to the distance from the point $$(-1, 0)$$ is equal to $${1 \over 3}$$. Then the circumcentre of the triangle ABC is at the point :

If $$P$$ and $$Q$$ are the points of intersection of the circles
$${x^2} + {y^2} + 3x + 7y + 2p - 5 = 0$$ and $${x^2} + {y^2} + 2x + 2y - {p^2} = 0$$ then there is a circle passing through $$P,Q $$ and $$(1, 1)$$ for :
