If $a, b, c, d, e$ are in $A.P.$,then the value of $a + b + 4c - 4d + e$ in terms of $a$,if possible,is:

Let $x_n, y_n, z_n, w_n$ denote the $n^{th}$ terms of four different arithmetic progressions with positive terms. If $x_4 + y_4 + z_4 + w_4 = 8$ and $x_{10} + y_{10} + z_{10} + w_{10} = 20$, then the maximum value of $x_{20} \cdot y_{20} \cdot z_{20} \cdot w_{20}$ is:

The $p^{th}$ term of the series $\left( 3 - \frac{1}{n} \right) + \left( 3 - \frac{2}{n} \right) + \left( 3 - \frac{3}{n} \right) + \dots$ will be

The first term of an $A.P.$ is $2$ and the common difference is $4$. The sum of its $40$ terms will be:

Two sequences ${t_n}$ and ${s_n}$ are defined by $t_n = \log \left( \frac{5^{n+1}}{3^{n-1}} \right)$ and $s_n = \left[ \log \left( \frac{5}{3} \right) \right]^n$. Then:

The mean of the series $a, a + nd, a + 2nd$ is
