Given that $n$ A.M.'s are inserted between two sets of numbers $a,\;2b$and $2a,\;b$, where $a,\;b \in R$. Suppose further that ${m^{th}}$ mean between these sets of numbers is same, then the ratio $a:b$ equals

For $p, q \in R$, consider the real valued function $f ( x )=( x - p )^{2}- q , x \in R$ and $q >0$. Let $a _{1}, a _{2}, a _{3}$ and $a _{4}$ be in an arithmetic progression with mean $P$ and positive common difference. If $\left| f \left( a _{ i }\right)\right|=500$ for all $i=1,2,3,4$, then the absolute difference between the roots of $f ( x )=0$ is.

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-

If $a, b, c, d$ are in $G.P.,$ prove that $\left(a^{n}+b^{n}\right),\left(b^{n}+c^{n}\right),\left(c^{n}+d^{n}\right)$ are in $G.P.$

The sixth term of an $A.P.$ is equal to $2$, the value of the common difference of the $A.P.$ which makes the product ${a_1}{a_4}{a_5}$ least is given by

The solution of the equation $(x + 1) + (x + 4) + (x + 7) + ......... + (x + 28) = 155$ is
