If 5x + 9 = 0 is the directrix of the hyperbola 16x² – 9y² = 144, then its corresponding focus is :

The smallest natural number n, such that the coefficient of x in the expansion of $${\left( {{x^2} + {1 \over {{x^3}}}} \right)^n}$$ is ⁿC₂₃, is :

Let $$\lambda $$ be a real number for which the system of linear equations x + y + z = 6, 4x + $$\lambda $$y – $$\lambda $$z = $$\lambda $$ – 2, 3x + 2y – 4z = – 5 has infinitely many solutions. Then $$\lambda $$ is a root of the quadratic equation:

A submarine experiences a pressure of 5.05 × 10⁶ Pa at a depth of d₁ in a sea. When it goes further to a depth of d₂, it experiences a pressure of 8.08 × 10⁶ Pa. Then d₂ –d₁ is approximately (density of water = 10³ kg/m³ and acceleration due to gravity = 10 ms^–2 ) :
