A line is drawn through the point $$(1, 2)$$ to meet the coordinate axes at $$P$$ and $$Q$$ such that it forms a triangle $$OPQ,$$ where $$O$$ is the origin. If the area of the triangle $$OPQ$$ is least, then the slope of the line $$PQ$$ is :

If the line $${{x - 1} \over 2} = {{y + 1} \over 3} = {{z - 1} \over 4}$$ and $${{x - 3} \over 1} = {{y - k} \over 2} = {z \over 1}$$ intersect, then $$k$$ is equal to :

Let $$a,b \in R$$ be such that the function $$f$$ given by $$f\left( x \right) = In\left| x \right| + b{x^2} + ax,\,x \ne 0$$ has extreme values at $$x=-1$$ and $$x=2$$

Statement-1 : $$f$$ has local maximum at $$x=-1$$ and at $$x=2$$.

Statement-2 : $$a = {1 \over 2}$$ and $$b = {-1 \over 4}$$

An ellipse is drawn by taking a diameter of thec circle $${\left( {x - 1} \right)^2} + {y^2} = 1$$ as its semi-minor axis and a diameter of the circle $${x^2} + {\left( {y - 2} \right)^2} = 4$$ is semi-major axis. If the centre of the ellipse is at the origin and its axes are the coordinate axes, then the equation of the ellipse is :
