If the function ƒ defined on , $$\left( {{\pi \over 6},{\pi \over 3}} \right)$$ by $$$f(x) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {{{\sqrt 2 {\mathop{\rm cosx}\nolimits} - 1} \over {\cot x - 1}},} & {x \ne {\pi \over 4}} \cr {k,} & {x = {\pi \over 4}} \cr } } \right.$$$ is continuous, then k is equal to

The value of cos²10° – cos10°cos50° + cos²50° is

Four persons can hit a target correctly with probabilities $${1 \over 2}$$, $${1 \over 3}$$, $${1 \over 4}$$ and $${1 \over 8}$$ respectively. if all hit at the target independently, then the probability that the target would be hit, is :

Let $$\sum\limits_{k = 1}^{10} {f(a + k) = 16\left( {{2^{10}} - 1} \right)} $$ where the function ƒ satisfies
ƒ(x + y) = ƒ(x)ƒ(y) for all natural numbers x, y and ƒ(1) = 2. then the natural number 'a' is
