Let p, q and r be real numbers (p $$ \ne $$ q, r $$ \ne $$ 0), such that the roots of the equation $${1 \over {x + p}} + {1 \over {x + q}} = {1 \over r}$$ are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign, then the sum of squares of these roots is equal to :

The least positive integer n for which $${\left( {{{1 + i\sqrt 3 } \over {1 - i\sqrt 3 }}} \right)^n} = 1,$$ is :

Two different families A and B are blessed with equal numbe of children. There are 3 tickets to be distributed amongst the children of these families so that no child gets more than one ticket. If the probability that all the tickets go to the children of the family B is $${1 \over {12}},$$ then the number of children in each family is :

If an angle A of a $$\Delta $$ABC satiesfies 5 cosA + 3 = 0, then the roots of the quadratic equation, 9x² + 27x + 20 = 0 are :
