If the system of linear equations
x + y + 3z = 0
x + 3y + k²z = 0
3x + y + 3z = 0
has a non-zero solution (x, y, z) for some k $$ \in $$ R, then x + $$\left( {{y \over z}} \right)$$ is equal to :

Let A = {a, b, c} and B = {1, 2, 3, 4}. Then the number of elements in the set
C = {f : A $$ \to $$ B | 2 $$ \in $$ f(A) and f is not one-one} is ______.

If a + x = b + y = c + z + 1, where a, b, c, x, y, z
are non-zero distinct real numbers, then
$$\left| {\matrix{ x & {a + y} & {x + a} \cr y & {b + y} & {y + b} \cr z & {c + y} & {z + c} \cr } } \right|$$ is equal to :

A ring is hung on a nail. It can oscillate, without slipping or sliding
(i) in its plane with a time period T₁ and,
(ii) back and forth in a direction perpendicular to its plane,
with a period T₂. The ratio $${{{T_1}} \over {{T_2}}}$$ will be :
