Consider the sequence $t_1 = 1$, $t_2 = -1$ and $t_n = \left(\frac{n-3}{n-1}\right) t_{n-2}$ for $n \ge 3$. The, the value of the sum $\frac{1}{t_2} + \frac{1}{t_4} + \frac{1}{t_6} + \dots + \frac{1}{t_{2022}} + \frac{1}{t_{2024}}$ is

Let $x, y, z$ be three positive real numbers in a geometric progression such that $x<y<z$. If $5 x, 16 y$, and $12 z$ are in an arithmetic progression then the common ratio of the geometric progression is

Let $a_n = 46 + 8n$ and $b_n = 98 + 4n$ be two sequences for natural numbers $n \le 100$. Then, the sum of all terms common to both the sequences is
