If $$z$$ is a complex number, then the number of common roots of the equation $$z^{1985} + z^{100} + 1 = 0$$ and $$z^3 + 2z^2 + 2z + 1 = 0$$, is equal to:
Let $$a$$ and $$b$$ be two distinct positive real numbers. Let 11th term of a GP, whose first term is $$a$$ and third term is $$b$$, is equal to $$p^{th}$$ term of another GP, whose first term is $$a$$ and fifth term is $$b$$. Then $$p$$ is equal to
Suppose $$28 - p$$, $$p$$, $$70 - \alpha$$, $$\alpha$$ are the coefficients of four consecutive terms in the expansion of $$(1 + x)^n$$. Then the value of $$2\alpha - 3p$$ equals

Let $$P$$ be a point on the hyperbola $$H: \frac{x^2}{9} - \frac{y^2}{4} = 1$$, in the first quadrant such that the area of triangle formed by $$P$$ and the two foci of $$H$$ is $$2\sqrt{13}$$. Then, the square of the distance of $$P$$ from the origin is
