Let P(4, –4) and Q(9, 6) be two points on the parabola, y² = 4x and let x be any point on the arc POQ of this parabola, where O is the vertex of this parabola, such that the area of $$\Delta $$PXQ is maximum. Then this maximum area (in sq. units) is :

Consider three boxes, each containing, 10 balls labelled 1, 2, … , 10. Suppose one ball is randomly drawn from each of the boxes. Denote by n_i, the label of the ball drawn from the i^th box, (i = 1, 2, 3). Then, the number of ways in which the balls can be chosen such that n₁ < n₂ < n₃ is :

The integral $$\int \, $$cos(log_e x) dx is equal to : (where C is a constant of integration)
