The sum of the first and third term of an arithmetic progression is $12$ and the product of the first and second term is $24$. Find the first term.

What is the sum of $n$ arithmetic means between $a$ and $b$?

If $\log _{5} 2, \log _{5}(2^{x}-3)$ and $\log _{5}(\frac{17}{2}+2^{x-1})$ are in $A.P.$,then the value of $x$ is:

Let $a_1, a_2, a_3, \dots$ be an $A.P.$ such that $\frac{a_1 + a_2 + \dots + a_p}{a_1 + a_2 + \dots + a_q} = \frac{p^3}{q^3}$ where $p \neq q$. Then $\frac{a_6}{a_{21}}$ is equal to:

If three positive real numbers $a, b, c$ are in $A$.$P$. and $abc = 4$,then the minimum possible value of $b$ is:

$A$ man counts $4500$ currency notes. Let $a_n$ denote the number of notes he counts in the $n^{th}$ minute. If $a_1 = a_2 = \dots = a_{10} = 150$ and $a_{10}, a_{11}, \dots$ form an arithmetic progression with a common difference of $-2$,then how many minutes will it take for him to count all the notes?
