Let the area of the triangle with vertices A(1, $$\alpha$$), B($$\alpha$$, 0) and C(0, $$\alpha$$) be 4 sq. units. If the points ($$\alpha$$, $$-$$$$\alpha$$), ($$-$$$$\alpha$$, $$\alpha$$) and ($$\alpha$$², $$\beta$$) are collinear, then $$\beta$$ is equal to :

The number of distinct real roots of the equation

x⁷ $$-$$ 7x $$-$$ 2 = 0 is

A random variable X has the following probability distribution :

The value of P(1 < X < 4 | X $$\le$$ 2) is equal to :

If the shortest distance between the lines $${{x - 1} \over 2} = {{y - 2} \over 3} = {{z - 3} \over \lambda }$$ and $${{x - 2} \over 1} = {{y - 4} \over 4} = {{z - 5} \over 5}$$ is $${1 \over {\sqrt 3 }}$$, then the sum of all possible value of $$\lambda$$ is :
