With usual notation, in triangle ABC , $\mathrm{m} \angle \mathrm{A}=30^{\circ}$ then the value of $\left(1+\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{c}}+\frac{\mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{c}}\right)\left(1+\frac{\mathrm{c}}{\mathrm{b}}-\frac{\mathrm{a}}{\mathrm{b}}\right)$ is equal to

The greatest possible number of points of intersection of 8 distinct straight lines and 4 distinct circles is

In $\triangle A B C$, with usual notations, $a \cos B=b \cos A, a \cos C \neq c \cos A$ then $\mathrm{A}(\triangle \mathrm{ABC})$ $\qquad$ sq. units.

The radius of the base of a cone is increasing at the rate $3 \mathrm{~cm} /$ minute and the altitude is decreasing at the rate $4 \mathrm{~cm} /$ minute . The rate at which the lateral surface area is changing, when the radius is 7 cm and altitude is 24 cm is
