A professor has 24 text books on computer science and is concerned about their coverage of the topics (P) compilers, (Q) data structures and (R) Operating systems. The following data gives the number of books that contain material on these topics: $n(P) = 8, n(Q) = 13, n(R) = 13,
n(P \cap R) = 3, n(P \cap R) = 3, n(Q \cap R) = 3, n(Q \cap R) = 6, n(P \cap Q \cap R) = 2 $ where $n(x)$ is the cardinality of the set $x$. Then the number of text books that have no material on compilers is
If $\vec{a}$ and $\vec{b}$ are vectors such that $|\vec{a}|=13$, $|\vec{b}|=5$ and $\vec{a} . \vec{b} =60$then the value of $|\vec{a} \times \vec{b}|$ is

Two towers face each other separated by a distance of 25 meters. As seen from the top of the first tower, the angle of depression of the second tower’s base is 60° and that of the top is 30°. The height (in meters) of the second tower is
Let the first tower be \(AB\) (top \(A\), base \(B\)) and the second tower be \(CD\) (top \(C\), base \(D\)). The bases \(B\) and \(D\) are 25 m apart.
From the top \(A\): angle of depression to base \(D\) is \(60^\circ\) and to top \(C\) is \(30^\circ\).
From right \(\triangle ABD\):
\[
\tan 60^\circ=\frac{AB}{BD}=\frac{AB}{25}\;\Rightarrow\; AB=25\sqrt{3}.
\]
From right \(\triangle ACD\): vertical difference \(=AB-CD\) and horizontal \(=25\).
\[
\tan 30^\circ=\frac{AB-CD}{25}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}}
\;\Rightarrow\; AB-CD=\frac{25}{\sqrt{3}}.
