Let a, b $$ \in $$ R, (a $$ \ne $$ 0). If the function f defined as

$$f\left( x \right) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {{{2{x^2}} \over a}\,\,,} & {0 \le x < 1} \cr {a\,\,\,,} & {1 \le x < \sqrt 2 } \cr {{{2{b^2} - 4b} \over {{x^3}}},} & {\sqrt 2 \le x < \infty } \cr } } \right.$$

is continuous in the interval [0, $$\infty $$), then an ordered pair ( a, b) is :

$$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} \,{{{{\left( {1 - \cos 2x} \right)}^2}} \over {2x\,\tan x\, - x\tan 2x}}$$ is :

Consider an electromagnetic wave propagating in vacuum. Choose the correct statement :

A bottle has an opening of radius a and length b. A cork of length b and radius (a + $$\Delta $$a) where ($$\Delta $$a < < a) is compressed to fit into the opening completely (See figure). If the bulk modulus of cork is B and frictional coefficient between the bottle and cork is $$\mu $$ then the force needed to push the cork into the bottle is :
