Let f : R $$ \to $$ R be defined as

$$f(x) = \left\{ \matrix{ 2\sin \left( { - {{\pi x} \over 2}} \right),if\,x < - 1 \hfill \cr |a{x^2} + x + b|,\,if - 1 \le x \le 1 \hfill \cr \sin (\pi x),\,if\,x > 1 \hfill \cr} \right.$$ If f(x) is continuous on R, then a + b equals :

The triangle of maximum area that can be inscribed in a given circle of radius 'r' is :

If the locus of the mid-point of the line segment from the point (3, 2) to a point on the circle, x² + y² = 1 is a circle of radius r, then r is equal to :

The sum of the series

$$\sum\limits_{n = 1}^\infty {{{{n^2} + 6n + 10} \over {(2n + 1)!}}} $$ is equal to :
