The maximum possible number of real roots of equation ${x^5} - 6{x^2} - 4x + 5 = 0$ is

Let $p$ and $q$ be two real numbers such that $p+q=$ 3 and $p^{4}+q^{4}=369$. Then $\left(\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}\right)^{-2}$ is equal to

If the roots of the equation $8{x^3} - 14{x^2} + 7x - 1 = 0$ are in $G.P.$, then the roots are

A man standing on a railway platform noticed that a train took $21\, s$ to cross the platform (this means the time elapsed from the moment the engine enters the platform till the last compartment leaves the platform) which is $88\,m$ long, and that it took $9 s$ to pass him. Assuming that the train was moving with uniform speed, what is the length of the train in meters?

Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be the roots of $x^2-6 x-2=0$, with $\alpha>\beta$. If $a_n=\alpha^n-\beta^n$ for $n \geq 1$, then the value of $\frac{a_{10}-2 a_8}{2 a_9}$ is

The number of real roots of the equation, $\mathrm{e}^{4 \mathrm{x}}+\mathrm{e}^{3 \mathrm{x}}-4 \mathrm{e}^{2 \mathrm{x}}+\mathrm{e}^{\mathrm{x}}+1=0$ is
