Let A1, A2, A3, A4,........, A8 be the vertices of the regular octagons that lie on the circle of radius 2. Let p be a point on the circle and let PAi denote the distance between the point P and Ai for i = 1,2,3,....,8. If P varies over the circle, then the maximum value of the product is PA1.Pa2..........PA8, is
Correct Answer: 512
Solution and Explanation
The vertices \( A_1, A_2, A_3, \dots, A_8 \) form a regular octagon inscribed in a circle with a radius of 2. We need to evaluate \( Z_8 \), which is the result of:
\(Z = (2) \times (1) \times \frac{1}{8}\)
Multiplying the terms:
\(Z_8 = 28 \times 1\)
Thus, the expression \( Z_8 - 28 \) simplifies to:
\(Z_8 - 28 = 28 - 28 = 0\)
Finally, the value of \( \text{MAX}(P_1, P_2, P_8) \) is:
\(2^9 = 512\)
Therefore, the correct answer is \( 2^9 = 512 \).

As shown in the figures, a uniform rod $ OO' $ of length $ l $ is hinged at the point $ O $ and held in place vertically between two walls using two massless springs of the same spring constant. The springs are connected at the midpoint and at the top-end $ (O') $ of the rod, as shown in Fig. 1, and the rod is made to oscillate by a small angular displacement. The frequency of oscillation of the rod is $ f_1 $. On the other hand, if both the springs are connected at the midpoint of the rod, as shown in Fig. 2, and the rod is made to oscillate by a small angular displacement, then the frequency of oscillation is $ f_2 $. Ignoring gravity and assuming motion only in the plane of the diagram, the value of $\frac{f_1}{f_2}$ is:

Introduction to Three Dimensional Geometry
In mathematics, Geometry is one of the most important topics. The concepts of Geometry are defined with respect to the planes. So, Geometry is divided into three categories based on its dimensions which are one-dimensional geometry, two-dimensional geometry, and three-dimensional geometry.
Direction Cosines and Direction Ratios of Line
Let's consider line ‘L’ is passing through the three-dimensional plane. Now, x,y, and z are the axes of the plane, and α,β, and γ are the three angles the line making with these axes. These are called the plane's direction angles. So, correspondingly, we can very well say that cosα, cosβ, and cosγ are the direction cosines of the given line L.
