Given that,
a2+(ar)2+(ar2)2=33033,(a,r∈N)
⇒a2(1+r2+r4)=112×273
On comparing both sides of the equation we get,
a=11 and 1+r2+r4=273
⇒r2+r4=272
⇒r2(1+r2)=16×17
⇒r=4
Now a+ar+ar2=11+11×4+11×16
=11+44+176=231.
Therefore, the required value is 231

The number of elements in the set $S = \left\{(r, k) : k \in \mathbb{Z} \text{ and } {}^{36}C_{r+1} = \dfrac{6\left({}^{35}C_r\right)}{(k^2 - 3)}\right\}$, is :
Suppose $\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b}, \mathrm{c}$ are in A.P. and $\mathrm{a}^{2}, 2 \mathrm{~b}^{2}, \mathrm{c}^{2}$ are in G.P. If $\mathrm{a}<\mathrm{b}<\mathrm{c}$ and $\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{b}+\mathrm{c}=1$, then $9\left(\mathrm{a}^{2}+\mathrm{b}^{2}+\mathrm{c}^{2}\right)$ is equal to $\_\_\_\_$ .
Let $S=\left\{z \in \mathbb{C}: 4 z^{2}+\bar{z}=0\right\}$. Then $\sum_{z \in S}|z|^{2}$ is equal to:
Let $S=\{z: 3 \leqslant|2 z-3(1+i)| \leqslant 7\}$ be a set of complex numbers. Then $\min _{z \in S}\left|\left(z+\frac{1}{2}(5+3 i)\right)\right|$ is equal to :
Let $A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \\ 3 & 1 & 0 \\ 9 & 3 & 1 \end{bmatrix}$ and $B = [b_{ij}]$, $1 \leq i, j \leq 3$. If $B = A^{99} - I$, then the value of $\dfrac{b_{31} - b_{21}}{b_{32}}$ is :
