Four numbers are in arithmetic progression. The sum of first and last term is $8$ and the product of both middle terms is $15$. The least number of the series is

A farmer buys a used tractor for $Rs$ $12000 .$ He pays $Rs$ $6000$ cash and agrees to pay the balance in annual instalments of $Rs$ $500$ plus $12 \%$ interest on the unpaid amount. How much will the tractor cost him?

Let $x_n, y_n, z_n, w_n$ denotes $n^{th}$ terms of four different arithmatic progressions with positive terms. If $x_4 + y_4 + z_4 + w_4 = 8$ and $x_{10} + y_{10} + z_{10} + w_{10} = 20,$ then maximum value of $x_{20}.y_{20}.z_{20}.w_{20}$ is-

Let $a , b , c$ be in arithmetic progression. Let the centroid of the triangle with vertices $( a , c ),(2, b)$ and $(a, b)$ be $\left(\frac{10}{3}, \frac{7}{3}\right)$. If $\alpha, \beta$ are the roots of the equation $ax ^{2}+ bx +1=0$, then the value of $\alpha^{2}+\beta^{2}-\alpha \beta$ is ....... .

Show that the sum of $(m+n)^{ th }$ and $(m-n)^{ th }$ terms of an $A.P.$ is equal to twice the $m^{\text {th }}$ term.

If the ${p^{th}}$ term of an $A.P.$ be $\frac{1}{q}$ and ${q^{th}}$ term be $\frac{1}{p}$, then the sum of its $p{q^{th}}$ terms will be
