In an arithmetic progression, if the sum of fourth, seventh and tenth terms is 99, and the sum of the first fourteen terms is 497, then the sum of first five terms is

An infinite geometric progression $a_1, a_2, a_3,...$ has the property that $a_n = 3(a_{n+1} + a_{n+2} +....)$ for every $n \ge 1$. If the sum $a_1 + a_2 + a_3 +..... = 32$, then $a_5$ is

Consider a sequence of real number $x_1, x_2, x_3, ...$ such that $x_{n+1} = x_n + n - 1$ for all $n \ge 1$. If $x_1 = -1$ then $x_{100}$ is equal to
