All of are Very very Elementry Questions..... As Solution of 3rd is already posted by shashwat... So i give rest of 2
1) Let A=xi+yj+zk.B=ai+bj+ck.A.B≤∣∣∣A∣∣∣∣∣∣B∣∣∣pax+by+cz≤x2+y2+z2a2+b2+c2
2)- Clearly Such Question is tackle by using boundedness of function... LHS=tan2(x+y)+cot2(x+y)RHS=2−(x+1)2LHS≥2&RHS≤2⇒LHS=RHS=2∴x=−1&tan2(x+y)=1y+1=nπ±4πy=(n±41)π−1
3) Let the number of heads that appear in a trial be n.
Then there will be n+1 'gaps' created.
Thus for a particular number of heads(=n), the number of ways of this happening will be equal to the number of solutions of the equation: x1+x2+x3...xn+1=10−n
(as after n heads occur, 10-n positions are left)
The two gaps at the 'end' of the sequence can have zero elements in them while the other gaps must contain at least one element as the heads are not consecutive.
Thus, we have to find the solutions of
x1+x2+x3...xn+1=2+10−n=12−n
in the natural numbers.
The number of solutions is (n11−n).
Now n can vary from 0 to 5 (as 11-n has to be greater than or equal to n)and thus we sum up all the corresponding number of solutions. This divided by 210 is the required probability

I did the same in the exam... I did not get the right answer :/ I guess I made some careless mistake. Also, this was a previous JEE problem right? It is there in archive...

Don't remember if this was in the archive...But I guess you must have miscalculated during the exam.
The answers are 1) a2+b2+c2p2 2) x=−1 3) 1.
Plz i want the solution.

Not sure about this, but couldn't you use Lagrange Multipliers for the first question? I thought of this since it is an optimization question with constraints. Haven't had time to try it though... @Ronak Agarwal @Shashwat Shukla

Sure, that would also work...But that would be tad bit lengthy. More importantly, the geometric interpretation is lost in the process.

First question is very easy, the second equation can be considered as an equation of a plane in 3-D space, with x,y,z being the co-ordinate axes. You just have to find square of shortest distance of said plane from origin.
these problems are from some aiits... i will answer rest after lunch

ok i'll wait.

Sorry Tanishq actually I am mobile hence unable to post long comments or solutions
My laptop is broken and I will keep it damaged till Jee Advanced.
Raghav do you give fiitjee aits, or aiits

can u help me with the last two
Did you write AITS 8 (last Sunday)? How did it go for you?

very good score in my opinion especially as this is AITS.
303 is aDo you mean AITS-8?

Surprisingly last AITS was not very tough.

1) we can solve the problem by simply finding the distance of origin from the given line as given line is tangent to the equation of sphere.
3) Not a full solution But the number of cases are given by the Fibonacci recurrence relation. Let P(n) be the number of possibilities . We can have either a head or a tail at the end. If we have a tail then possibilities are P(n-1) and if we have a head then we certainly have a tail before it. so possibilities are P(n-2). Therefore we have the recuurence relation P(n) = P(n-1) + P(n-2) @Raghav Vaidyanathan
