How to determine whether a slot is having 7 symbols(for normal CP) or 6 symbols(for extended CP)?

I know a slot will be of 0.5ms and useful symbol duration is 66.67micro sec. And if I divide them i.e (0.5ms)/(66.67 micro sec) the result will be 7.49. Can i assume it as normal symbol?? If so what will be the similar calculation for extended symbol??

For eMBMS, there are 2 kinds of subcarrier configurations, 15kHz and 7.5kHz, however, I found that there is no information in broadcast information(MIB/SIB) to tell me which kind of cell the target cell is.

Does anyone know how to find the subcarrier configuration of eMBMS in LTE?

Each carrier in LTE is 15khz so in a calculation i found that useful symbol time = 1/15khz = 66.6 mircosec

wrt to this
Each symbol duration is calculated like this
Normal Cyclic Prefix length = 4.69 microsec --- so each symbol in this = 66.6 + 4.69 = 71.29 microsec
Extended Cyclic Prefix length = 16.67 microsec ----so each symbol in this = 66.6 + 16.67 = 83.27 microsec

So Normal cyclic prefix Slot (7 symbols) duration = 71.29 * 7 = 499.03 microsec(0.49903 millis)
and Extended cyclic prefix Slot (6 symbols) duration = 83.27 * 6 = 499.63 microsec (0.49963 millis)

But slot duration is fixed as 0.5 ms ...

So does this slight difference creates any problem ???
How real time it works ???

I know that fact PSS and SSS are transmitted at slot zero of first and fifth sub frames of a radio frame. But what is the reasoning behind it to transmit at these particular location ? Is any calculation behind it ?
