If $$\left( {a + \sqrt 2 b\cos x} \right)\left( {a - \sqrt 2 b\cos y} \right) = {a^2} - {b^2}$$

where a > b > 0, then $${{dx} \over {dy}}\,\,at\left( {{\pi \over 4},{\pi \over 4}} \right)$$ is :

Two vertical poles AB = 15 m and CD = 10 m are standing apart on a horizontal ground with points A and C on the ground. If P is the point of intersection of BC and AD, then the height of P (in m) above the line AC is :

The mean and variance of 8 observations are 10 and 13.5, respectively. If 6 of these observations are 5, 7, 10, 12, 14, 15, then the absolute difference of the remaining two observations is :

If $$A = \left[ {\matrix{ {\cos \theta } & {i\sin \theta } \cr {i\sin \theta } & {\cos \theta } \cr } } \right]$$, $$\left( {\theta = {\pi \over {24}}} \right)$$

and $${A^5} = \left[ {\matrix{ a & b \cr c & d \cr } } \right]$$, where $$i = \sqrt { - 1} $$ then which one of the following is not true?
