Let $y=x$ be the equation of a chord of the circle $\mathrm{C}_1$ (in the closed half-plane $x \geq 0$ ) of diameter 10 passing through the origin. Let $\mathrm{C}_2$ be another circle described on the given chord as its diameter. If the equation of the chord of the circle $\mathrm{C}_2$, which passes through the point $(2,3)$ and is farthest from the center of $\mathrm{C}_2$, is $x+a y+b=0$, then $a-b$ is equal to

Let $\mathrm{S}=\left\{x^3+a x^2+b x+c: a, b, c \in \mathrm{~N}\right.$ and $\left.a, b, c \leq 20\right\}$ be a set of polynomials. Then the number of polynomials in S , which are divisible by $x^2+2$, is

Let $A, B$ and $C$ be three $2 \times 2$ matrices with real entries such that $B=(I+A)^{-1}$ and $\mathrm{A}+\mathrm{C}=\mathrm{I}$.

If $\mathrm{BC}=\left[\begin{array}{cc}1 & -5 \\ -1 & 2\end{array}\right]$ and $\mathrm{CB}\left[\begin{array}{l}x_1 \\ x_2\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{l}12 \\ -6\end{array}\right]$, then $x_1+x_2$ is

Let ABC be an equilateral triangle with orthocenter at the origin and the side BC on the line $x+2 \sqrt{2} y=4$. If the co-ordinates of the vertex A are $(\alpha, \beta)$, then the greatest integer less than or equal to $|\alpha+\sqrt{2} \beta|$ is
