If for some $$\alpha $$ and $$\beta $$ in R, the intersection of the following three places
x + 4y – 2z = 1
x + 7y – 5z = b
x + 5y + $$\alpha $$z = 5
is a line in R³, then $$\alpha $$ + $$\beta $$ is equal to :

If for x $$ \ge $$ 0, y = y(x) is the solution of the differential equation
(x + 1)dy = ((x + 1)² + y – 3)dx, y(2) = 0, then y(3) is equal to _______.

If e₁ and e₂ are the eccentricities of the ellipse, $${{{x^2}} \over {18}} + {{{y^2}} \over 4} = 1$$ and the hyperbola, $${{{x^2}} \over 9} - {{{y^2}} \over 4} = 1$$ respectively and (e₁, e₂) is a point on the ellipse, 15x² + 3y² = k, then k is equal to :

Water flows in a horizontal tube (see figure).
The pressure of water changes by 700 Nm^–2
between A and B where the area of cross section
are 40 cm² and 20 cm², respectively. Find the
rate of flow of water through the tube.
(density of water = 1000 kgm^–3)
