Let a, b, c, d in arithmetic progression with common difference $$\lambda$$. If $$\left| {\matrix{ {x + a - c} & {x + b} & {x + a} \cr {x - 1} & {x + c} & {x + b} \cr {x - b + d} & {x + d} & {x + c} \cr } } \right| = 2$$, then value of $$\lambda$$² is equal to ________________.

There are 15 players in a cricket team, out of which 6 are bowlers, 7 are batsman and 2 are wicketkeepers. The number of ways, a team of 11 players be selected from them so as to include at least 4 bowlers, 5 batsman and 1 wicketkeeper, is ______________.

Let y = mx + c, m > 0 be the focal chord of y² = $$-$$ 64x, which is tangent to (x + 10)² + y² = 4. Then, the value of 4$$\sqrt 2 $$ (m + c) is equal to _____________.

If the value of $$\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to 0} {(2 - \cos x\sqrt {\cos 2x} )^{\left( {{{x + 2} \over {{x^2}}}} \right)}}$$ is equal to e^a, then a is equal to __________.
