$$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to {\pi \over 2}} {{\cot x - \cos x} \over {{{\left( {\pi - 2x} \right)}^3}}}$$ equals

Let $$\omega $$ be a complex number such that 2$$\omega $$ + 1 = z where z = $$\sqrt {-3} $$. If

$$\left| {\matrix{ 1 & 1 & 1 \cr 1 & { - {\omega ^2} - 1} & {{\omega ^2}} \cr 1 & {{\omega ^2}} & {{\omega ^7}} \cr } } \right| = 3k$$,

then k is equal to :

A diverging lens with magnitude of focal length 25 cm is placed at a distance of 15cm from a converging lens of magnitude of focal length 20cm. A beam of parallel light falls on the diverging lens. The final image formed is:

When a current of 5 mA is passed through a galvanometer having a coil of resistance 15$$\Omega $$, it shows full scale deflection. The value of the resistance to be put in series with the galvanometer to convert it into a voltmeter of range 0 – 10V is:
