If three positive numbers $a, b,$ and $c$ are in $A.P.$ such that $abc = 8$,then the minimum possible value of $b$ is

If the sum of $n$ terms of an $A.P.$ is $S_n = nP + \frac{1}{2}n(n-1)Q$,where $P$ and $Q$ are constants,find the common difference.

If $a_r > 0, r \in N$ and $a_1, a_2, a_3, ..., a_{2n}$ are in an arithmetic progression,then $\frac{a_1 + a_{2n}}{\sqrt{a_1} + \sqrt{a_2}} + \frac{a_2 + a_{2n-1}}{\sqrt{a_2} + \sqrt{a_3}} + \frac{a_3 + a_{2n-2}}{\sqrt{a_3} + \sqrt{a_4}} + ... + \frac{a_n + a_{n+1}}{\sqrt{a_n} + \sqrt{a_{n+1}}} = ?$

The sums of $n$ terms of two arithmetic progressions are in the ratio $5n+4 : 9n+6$. Find the ratio of their $18^{th}$ terms.

If the sum of the first $2n$ terms of $2, 5, 8, \dots$ is equal to the sum of the first $n$ terms of $57, 59, 61, \dots$,then $n$ is equal to

Let $S_n$ denote the sum of $n$ terms of an $A.P.$ If $S_{2n} = 3S_n$,then the ratio $\frac{S_{3n}}{S_n} = $
