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

If $m$ arithmetic means $(A.Ms)$ and three geometric means $(G.Ms)$ are inserted between $3$ and $243$ such that the $4^{\text{th}}$ $A.M.$ is equal to the $2^{\text{nd}}$ $G.M.$,then $m$ is equal to:

If $a, b, c$ are in $G.P.$ and $x, y$ are the arithmetic means between $a, b$ and $b, c$ respectively,then $\frac{a}{x} + \frac{c}{y}$ is equal to

Consider the sequence $a_{1}, a_{2}, a_{3}, \ldots$ such that $a_{1}=1, a_{2}=2$ and $a_{n+2}=\frac{2}{a_{n+1}}+a_{n}$ for $n=1, 2, 3, \ldots$. If $\left(\frac{a_{1}+\frac{1}{a_{2}}}{a_{3}}\right) \cdot\left(\frac{a_{2}+\frac{1}{a_{3}}}{a_{4}}\right) \cdot\left(\frac{a_{3}+\frac{1}{a_{4}}}{a_{5}}\right) \cdots\left(\frac{a_{30}+\frac{1}{a_{31}}}{a_{32}}\right)=2^{\alpha}\left({}^{61}C_{31}\right)$,then $\alpha$ is equal to.

Let $S$ be the sum of the first $9$ terms of the series: $(x+ka) + (x^2+(k+2)a) + (x^3+(k+4)a) + (x^4+(k+6)a) + \ldots$ where $a \neq 0$ and $x \neq 1$. If $S = \frac{x^{10}-x+45a(x-1)}{x-1}$,then $k$ is equal to:

If $t_n$ is the $n^{th}$ term of an arithmetic progression and $t_7 = 9$,what is the value of the common difference $d$ that minimizes the product $t_1 t_2 t_7$?
