$A$ random variable $X$ takes the values $1, 2, 3$ and $4$ such that $2 P(X=1) = 3 P(X=2) = P(X=3) = 5 P(X=4)$. If $\sigma^2$ is the variance and $\mu$ is the mean of $X$, then $\sigma^2 + \mu^2 =$

The p.d.f. of a random variable $x$ is given by $f(x) = \frac{1}{4a}$ for $0 < x < 4a$ $(a > 0)$ and $f(x) = 0$ otherwise. If $P(x < \frac{3a}{2}) = k P(x > \frac{5a}{2})$,then $k = . . . . . .$
