If the sum of the second, third and fourth terms of a positive term G.P. is 3 and the sum of its sixth, seventh and eighth terms is 243, then the sum of the first 50 terms of this G.P. is :

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 :

If x = 1 is a critical point of the function
f(x) = (3x² + ax – 2 – a)e^x , then :

Let the vectors $$\overrightarrow a $$, $$\overrightarrow b $$, $$\overrightarrow c $$ be such that
$$\left| {\overrightarrow a } \right| = 2$$, $$\left| {\overrightarrow b } \right| = 4$$ and $$\left| {\overrightarrow c } \right| = 4$$. If the projection of
$$\overrightarrow b $$ on $$\overrightarrow a $$ is equal to the projection of $$\overrightarrow c $$ on $$\overrightarrow a $$
and $$\overrightarrow b $$ is perpendicular to $$\overrightarrow c $$, then the value of
$$\left| {\overrightarrow a + \vec b - \overrightarrow c } \right|$$ is ___________.
