The G.P. is a1,2a2,22a3,…,29a10 with common ratio 21.
So 2n−1an=a1⋅(21)n−1, giving an=a1⋅(2)n−1.
n=1∑10an=a1⋅2−1(2)10−1=a1⋅2−131=31a1(2+1).
Setting this equal to 62: a1=2+12=2(2−1).
Let a1,2a2,22a3,…,29a10 be a G.P. of common ratio 21. If a1+a2+…+a10=62, then a1 is equal to :

Let $a_{1}=1$ and for $n \geqslant 1, a_{n+1}=\frac{1}{2} a_{n}+\frac{n^{2}-2 n-1}{n^{2}(n+1)^{2}}$. Then $\left|\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\left(a_{n}-\frac{2}{n^{2}}\right)\right|$ is equal to $\_\_\_\_$.
Let $a_{1}, a_{2}, a_{3}, \ldots$ be G.P. of increasing positive terms such that $a_{2} \cdot a_{3} \cdot a_{4}=64$ and $a_{1}+a_{3}+a_{5}=\frac{813}{7}$. Then $a_{3}+a_{5}+a_{7}$ is equal to :
Let $\sum_{k=1}^{n} a_{k}=\alpha n^{2}+\beta n$. If $a_{10}=59$ and $a_{6}=7 a_{1}$, then $\alpha+\beta$ is equal to
Consider an A.P.: $a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots, a_{\mathrm{n}} ; a_{1}>0$. If $a_{2}-a_{1}=\frac{-3}{4}, a_{\mathrm{n}}=\frac{1}{4} a_{1}$, and $\sum_{\mathrm{i}=1}^{\mathrm{n}} a_{\mathrm{i}}=\frac{525}{2}$, then $\sum_{\mathrm{i}=1}^{17} a_{\mathrm{i}}$ is equal to
If the sum of the first four terms of an A.P. is 6 and the sum of its first six terms is 4, then the sum of its first twelve terms is
