Let a₁, a₂, a₃, ..... a₁₀ be in G.P. with a_i > 0 for i = 1, 2, ….., 10 and S be the set of pairs (r, k), r, k $$ \in $$ N (the set of natural numbers) for which

$$\left| {\matrix{ {{{\log }_e}\,{a_1}^r{a_2}^k} & {{{\log }_e}\,{a_2}^r{a_3}^k} & {{{\log }_e}\,{a_3}^r{a_4}^k} \cr {{{\log }_e}\,{a_4}^r{a_5}^k} & {{{\log }_e}\,{a_5}^r{a_6}^k} & {{{\log }_e}\,{a_6}^r{a_7}^k} \cr {{{\log }_e}\,{a_7}^r{a_8}^k} & {{{\log }_e}\,{a_8}^r{a_9}^k} & {{{\log }_e}\,{a_9}^r{a_{10}}^k} \cr } } \right|$$ $$=$$ 0.

Then the number of elements in S, is -

If  $$\sum\limits_{r = 0}^{25} {\left\{ {{}^{50}{C_r}.{}^{50 - r}{C_{25 - r}}} \right\} = K\left( {^{50}{C_{25}}} \right)} ,\,\,$$ then K is equal to :

The value of $$\cos {\pi \over {{2^2}}}.\cos {\pi \over {{2^3}}}\,.....\cos {\pi \over {{2^{10}}}}.\sin {\pi \over {{2^{10}}}}$$ is -

If mean and standard deviation of 5 observations x₁, x₂, x₃, x₄, x₅ are 10 and 3, respectively, then the variance of 6 observations x₁, x₂, ….., x₅ and –50 is equal to
