If $\frac{b + a}{b - a} = \frac{b + c}{b - c}$,then $a, b, c$ are in

If the $(m + 1)^{th}$,$(n + 1)^{th}$ and $(r + 1)^{th}$ terms of an $A.P.$ are in $G.P.$ and $m, n, r$ are in $H.P.$,then the value of the ratio of the common difference to the first term of the $A.P.$ is

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:

Let $a_n = \frac{10^n}{n!}$ for $n = 1, 2, 3, \ldots$. The greatest value of $n$ for which $a_n$ is the greatest is:

If for $x, y \in \mathbb{R}, x > 0,$ $y = \log_{10} x + \log_{10} x^{1/3} + \log_{10} x^{1/9} + \dots$ up to $\infty$ terms and $\frac{2+4+6+\dots+2y}{3+6+9+\dots+3y} = \frac{4}{\log_{10} x}$,then the ordered pair $(x, y)$ is equal to:

Let $V_r$ denote the sum of the first $r$ terms of an arithmetic progression $(A.P.)$ whose first term is $r$ and the common difference is $(2r-1)$. Let $T_r = V_{r+1} - V_r - 2$ and $Q_r = T_{r+1} - T_r$ for $r = 1, 2, \ldots$
