If $s$ is the sum of an infinite $G.P.$ and $a$ is the first term,then the common ratio $r$ is given by:

  • A
    $\frac{a - s}{s}$
  • B
    $\frac{s - a}{s}$
  • C
    $\frac{a}{1 - s}$
  • D

There are two such pairs of non-zero real values of $a$ and $b$,i.e.,$(a_1, b_1)$ and $(a_2, b_2)$,for which $2a+b, a-b, a+3b$ are three consecutive terms of a $G.P.$. Then the value of $2(a_1b_2 + a_2b_1) + 9a_1a_2$ is-

Some identical balls are arranged in rows to form an equilateral triangle. The first row consists of one ball,the second row consists of two balls and so on. If $99$ more identical balls are added to the total number of balls used in forming the equilateral triangle,then all these balls can be arranged in a square whose each side contains exactly $2$ balls less than the number of balls each side of the triangle contains. Then the number of balls used to form the equilateral triangle is
