If $\mathrm{a}_{1}=\frac{1}{2 \times 5}, \mathrm{a}_{2}=\frac{1}{5 \times 8}, \mathrm{a}_{3}=\frac{1}{8 \times 11}$, then $\mathrm{a}_{1,}+\mathrm{a}_{2,}+\mathrm{a}_{3,}+\ldots . . \mathrm{a}_{100}$ is

Let the $m^{th}$ and $n^{th}$ terms of a geometric progression be $3 / 4$ and $12$, respectively, where $m<n$. If the common ratio of the progression is an integer $r$, then the smallest possible value of $r+n-m$ is

Three positive integers $x, y$ and $z$ are in arithmetic progression. If $y − x > 2$ and $xyz = 5(x + y + z)$, then $z − x$ equals
