Let ƒ be any function continuous on [a, b] and twice differentiable on (a, b). If for all x $$ \in $$ (a, b), ƒ'(x) > 0 and ƒ''(x) < 0, then for any c $$ \in $$ (a, b), $${{f(c) - f(a)} \over {f(b) - f(c)}}$$ is greater than :

In a box, there are 20 cards, out of which 10 are lebelled as A and the remaining 10 are labelled as B. Cards are drawn at random, one after the other and with replacement, till a second A-card is obtained. The probability that the second A-card appears before the third B-card is :

The coefficient of x⁴ is the expansion of (1 + x + x²)¹⁰ is _____.

If $$f(x) = \left\{ {\matrix{ {{{\sin (a + 2)x + \sin x} \over x};} & {x < 0} \cr {b\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,;} & {x = 0} \cr {{{{{\left( {x + 3{x^2}} \right)}^{{1 \over 3}}} - {x^{ {1 \over 3}}}} \over {{x^{{4 \over 3}}}}};} & {x > 0} \cr } } \right.$$
is continuous at x = 0, then a + 2b is equal to :
