Let $${{{x^2}} \over {{a^2}}} + {{{y^2}} \over {{b^2}}} = 1$$ (a > b) be a given ellipse, length of whose latus rectum is 10. If its eccentricity is the maximum value of the function,
$$\phi \left( t \right) = {5 \over {12}} + t - {t^2}$$, then a² + b² is equal to :

If the system of equations
x - 2y + 3z = 9
2x + y + z = b
x - 7y + az = 24,
has infinitely many solutions, then a - b is equal to.........

Let f be a twice differentiable function on (1, 6). If f(2) = 8, f’(2) = 5, f’(x) $$ \ge $$ 1 and f''(x) $$ \ge $$ 4, for all x $$ \in $$ (1, 6), then :

Let $$\alpha $$ and $$\beta $$ be the roots of x² - 3x + p=0 and $$\gamma $$ and $$\delta $$ be the roots of x² - 6x + q = 0. If $$\alpha, \beta, \gamma, \delta $$ form a geometric progression.Then ratio (2q + p) : (2q - p) is:
