Let a₁, a₂, a₃,......be an A.P. with a₆ = 2. Then the common difference of this A.P., which maximises the product a₁a₄a₅, 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 :

If $${\cos ^{ - 1}}x - {\cos ^{ - 1}}{y \over 2} = \alpha $$,where –1 $$ \le $$ x $$ \le $$ 1, – 2 $$ \le $$ y $$ \le $$ 2, x $$ \le $$ $${y \over 2}$$ , then for all x, y, 4x² – 4xy cos $$\alpha $$ + y² is equal to :

If both the mean and the standard deviation of 50 observations x₁, x₂,..., x₅₀ are equal to 16, then the mean of (x₁ – 4)² , (x₂ – 4)² ,....., (x₅₀ – 4)² is :
