Let $a$, $b$ be two non-zero real numbers. If $p$ and $r$ are the roots of the equation $x ^{2}-8 ax +2 a =0$ and $q$ and $s$ are the roots of the equation $x^{2}+12 b x+6 b$ $=0$, such that $\frac{1}{ p }, \frac{1}{ q }, \frac{1}{ r }, \frac{1}{ s }$ are in A.P., then $a ^{-1}- b ^{-1}$ is equal to $......$

In $\Delta ABC$, if $a, b, c$ are in $A.P.$ (with usual notations), identify the incorrect statements -
What is the $20^{\text {th }}$ term of the sequence defined by
$a_{n}=(n-1)(2-n)(3+n) ?$
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 $S_{n}$ be the sum of the first $n$ terms of an arithmetic progression. If $S_{3 n}=3 S_{2 n}$, then the value of $\frac{S_{4 n}}{S_{2 n}}$ is:
Let $3,7,11,15, \ldots, 403$ and $2,5,8,11, \ldots, 404$ be two arithmetic progressions. Then the sum, of the common terms in them, is equal to.....................
