One vertex of a rectangular parallelopiped is at the origin $$\mathrm{O}$$ and the lengths of its edges along $$x, y$$ and $$z$$ axes are $$3,4$$ and $$5$$ units respectively. Let $$\mathrm{P}$$ be the vertex $$(3,4,5)$$. Then the shortest distance between the diagonal OP and an edge parallel to $$\mathrm{z}$$ axis, not passing through $$\mathrm{O}$$ or $$\mathrm{P}$$ is :

The mean and variance of a set of 15 numbers are 12 and 14 respectively. The mean and variance of another set of 15 numbers are 14 and $$\sigma^{2}$$ respectively. If the variance of all the 30 numbers in the two sets is 13 , then $$\sigma^{2}$$ is equal to :

Let $$\mathrm{A}=\left[\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{ij}}\right]_{2 \times 2}$$, where $$\mathrm{a}_{\mathrm{ij}} \neq 0$$ for all $$\mathrm{i}, \mathrm{j}$$ and $$\mathrm{A}^{2}=\mathrm{I}$$. Let a be the sum of all diagonal elements of $$\mathrm{A}$$ and $$\mathrm{b}=|\mathrm{A}|$$. Then $$3 a^{2}+4 b^{2}$$ is equal to :

Let $$5 f(x)+4 f\left(\frac{1}{x}\right)=\frac{1}{x}+3, x > 0$$. Then $$18 \int_\limits{1}^{2} f(x) d x$$ is equal to :
