A vertical pole fixed to the horizontal ground is divided in the ratio 3 : 7 by a mark on it with lower part shorter than the upper part. If the two parts subtend equal angles at a point on the ground 18 m away from the base of the pole, then the height of the pole (in meters) is :

If $${a_r} = \cos {{2r\pi } \over 9} + i\sin {{2r\pi } \over 9}$$, r = 1, 2, 3, ....., i = $$\sqrt { - 1} $$, then
the determinant $$\left| {\matrix{ {{a_1}} & {{a_2}} & {{a_3}} \cr {{a_4}} & {{a_5}} & {{a_6}} \cr {{a_7}} & {{a_8}} & {{a_9}} \cr } } \right|$$ is equal to :

The line $$12x\cos \theta + 5y\sin \theta = 60$$ is tangent to which of the following curves?

Let [t] denote the greatest integer $$\le$$ t. Then the value of

$$8.\int\limits_{ - {1 \over 2}}^1 {([2x] + |x|)dx} $$ is ___________.
