1. Find the point on y-axis which is equidistant from the points (5, – 2) and (–3, 2).
2. X is a point on the side BC of ∆ABC. XM and XN are drawn parallel to AB and AC respectively
meeting AB in N and AC in M. MN produced meets CB produced at T. Prove that TX2 = TB × TC.
3. The probability of selecting a blue marble at random from a jar that contains only blue, black and
green marbles is 1/5. The probability of selecting a black marble at random from the same jar is 1/4.
If the jar contains 11 green marbles, find the total number of marbles in the jar.
