The sequence is 36,34,32,30,3−2,… so an=38−2n.
Pn=k=1∏n38−2k=3∑k=1n(8−2k)=38n−n(n+1)=3n(7−n)
(Pn)1/n=37−n
2n=1∑4037−n=2(36+35+⋯+3−33)=2⋅36⋅1−1/31−3−40=37−3−33
=333340−1
So α=40,β=33.
Since gcd(40,33)=1, we get α+β=73.

Let 729,81,9,1,… be a sequence and Pn denote the product of the first n terms of this sequence.
If 2n=1∑40(Pn)n1=3β3α−1 and gcd(α,β)=1,
then α+β is equal to

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 :
