If $\int\limits_0^{\frac{\pi}{3}} \cos ^4 x \mathrm{~d} x=\mathrm{a} \pi+\mathrm{b} \sqrt{3}$, where $\mathrm{a}$ and $\mathrm{b}$ are rational numbers, then $9 \mathrm{a}+8 \mathrm{b}$ is equal to :

Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be the roots of the equation $p x^2+q x-r=0$, where $p \neq 0$. If $p, q$ and $r$ be the consecutive terms of a non constant G.P. and $\frac{1}{\alpha}+\frac{1}{\beta}=\frac{3}{4}$, then the value of $(\alpha-\beta)^2$ is :

Let Ajay will not appear in JEE exam with probability $\mathrm{p}=\frac{2}{7}$, while both Ajay and Vijay will appear in the exam with probability $\mathrm{q}=\frac{1}{5}$. Then the probability, that Ajay will appear in the exam and Vijay will not appear is :

Let $\mathrm{P}$ be a point on the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{9}+\frac{y^2}{4}=1$. Let the line passing through $\mathrm{P}$ and parallel to $y$-axis meet the circle $x^2+y^2=9$ at point $\mathrm{Q}$ such that $\mathrm{P}$ and $\mathrm{Q}$ are on the same side of the $x$-axis. Then, the eccentricity of the locus of the point $R$ on $P Q$ such that $P R: R Q=4: 3$ as $P$ moves on the ellipse, is :
