If the line, $${{x - 3} \over 1} = {{y + 2} \over { - 1}} = {{z + \lambda } \over { - 2}}$$ lies in the plane, 2x−4y+3z=2, then the shortest distance between this line and the line, $${{x - 1} \over {12}} = {y \over 9} = {z \over 4}$$ is :

From a group of 10 men and 5 women, four member committees are to be formed each of which must contain at least one woman. Then the probability for these committees to have more women than men, is :

If the vector $$\overrightarrow b = 3\widehat j + 4\widehat k$$ is written as the sum of a vector $$\overrightarrow {{b_1}} ,$$ paralel to $$\overrightarrow a = \widehat i + \widehat j$$ and a vector $$\overrightarrow {{b_2}} ,$$ perpendicular to $$\overrightarrow a ,$$ then $$\overrightarrow {{b_1}} \times \overrightarrow {{b_2}} $$ is equal to :

The sum of 100 observations and the sum of their squares are 400 and 2475, respectively. Later on, three observations, 3, 4 and 5, were found to be incorrect. If the incorrect observations are omitted, then the variance of the remaining observations is :
