If 2x = y$${^{{1 \over 5}}}$$ + y$${^{ - {1 \over 5}}}$$ and

(x² $$-$$ 1) $${{{d^2}y} \over {d{x^2}}}$$ + $$\lambda $$x $${{dy} \over {dx}}$$ + ky = 0,

then $$\lambda $$ + k is equal to :

Let E and F be two independent events. The probability that both E and F happen is $${1 \over {12}}$$ and the probability that neither E nor F happens is $${1 \over {2}}$$, then a value of $${{P\left( E \right)} \over {P\left( F \right)}}$$ is :

The value of k for which the function

$$f\left( x \right) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {{{\left( {{4 \over 5}} \right)}^{{{\tan \,4x} \over {\tan \,5x}}}}\,\,,} & {0 < x < {\pi \over 2}} \cr {k + {2 \over 5}\,\,\,,} & {x = {\pi \over 2}} \cr } } \right.$$

is continuous at x = $${\pi \over 2},$$ is :

If three positive numbers a, b and c are in A.P. such that abc = 8, then the minimum possible value of b is :
