Let $$\lambda \in $$ R . The system of linear equations
2x₁ - 4x₂ + $$\lambda $$x₃ = 1
x₁ - 6x₂ + x₃ = 2
$$\lambda $$x₁ - 10x₂ + 4x₃ = 3
is inconsistent for:

If $${3^{2\sin 2\alpha - 1}}$$, 14 and $${3^{4 - 2\sin 2\alpha }}$$ are the first three terms of an A.P. for some $$\alpha $$, then the sixth terms of this A.P. is:

If the minimum and the maximum values of the function $$f:\left[ {{\pi \over 4},{\pi \over 2}} \right] \to R$$, defined by
$$f\left( \theta \right) = \left| {\matrix{ { - {{\sin }^2}\theta } & { - 1 - {{\sin }^2}\theta } & 1 \cr { - {{\cos }^2}\theta } & { - 1 - {{\cos }^2}\theta } & 1 \cr {12} & {10} & { - 2} \cr } } \right|$$ are m and M respectively, then the ordered pair (m,M) is equal to :

A survey shows that 73% of the persons working in an office like coffee, whereas 65% like tea. If x denotes the percentage of them, who like both coffee and tea, then x cannot be :
