Let a and b respectively be the semitransverse and semi-conjugate axes of a hyperbola whose eccentricity satisfies the equation 9e² − 18e + 5 = 0. If S(5, 0) is a focus and 5x = 9 is the corresponding directrix of this hyperbola, then a² − b² is equal to :

For x $$ \in $$ R, x $$ \ne $$ -1,

if (1 + x)²⁰¹⁶ + x(1 + x)²⁰¹⁵ + x²(1 + x)²⁰¹⁴ + . . . . + x²⁰¹⁶ =

$$\sum\limits_{i = 0}^{2016} {{a_i}} \,{x^i},\,\,$$ then a₁₇ is equal to :

If A and B are any two events such that P(A) = $${2 \over 5}$$ and P (A $$ \cap $$ B) = $${3 \over {20}}$$, hen the conditional probability, P(A $$\left| {} \right.$$(A' $$ \cup $$ B')), where A' denotes the complement of A, is equal to :
