If $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 1} {{{x^2} - ax + b} \over {x - 1}} = 5$$, then a + b is equal to :

Minimum number of times a fair coin must be tossed so that the probability of getting at least one head is more than 99% is :

Let $$a$$, b and c be in G.P. with common ratio r, where $$a$$ $$ \ne $$ 0 and 0 < r $$ \le $$ $${1 \over 2}$$ . If 3$$a$$, 7b and 15c are the first three terms of an A.P., then the 4^th term of this A.P. is :

The distance of the point having position vector $$ - \widehat i + 2\widehat j + 6\widehat k$$ from the straight line passing through the point (2, 3, – 4) and parallel to the vector, $$6\widehat i + 3\widehat j - 4\widehat k$$ is :
