For the circle $C$ with the equation $x^2+y^2-16x-12y+64=0$,match the List-$I$ with the List-$II$ given below.

List-$I$	List-$II$
$(i)$ The equation of the polar of $(-5, 1)$ with respect to $C$	$(A)$ $y = 0$
$(ii)$ The equation of the tangent at $(8, 0)$ to $C$	$(B)$ $y = 6$
$(iii)$ The equation of the normal at $(2, 6)$ to $C$	$(C)$ $x + y = 7$
$(iv)$ The equation of the diameter of $C$ through $(8, 12)$	$(D)$ $13x + 5y = 98$
	$(E)$ $x = 8$

For all values of $\theta$,the values of $3-\cos \theta+\cos \left(\theta+\frac{\pi}{3}\right)$ lie in the interval :

If the equations $x^2+ax+b=0$ and $x^2+bx+a=0$ $(a \neq b)$ have a common root,then $a+b$ is equal to

If the range of a random variable $X$ is $\{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, \ldots\}$ with $P(X=k) = \frac{(k+1)a}{3^k}$ for $k \geq 0$, then $a$ is equal to
