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

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

If $(2n + 1) + (2n + 3) + (2n + 5) + .... + (2n + 47) = 5280$, then what is the value of $1 + 2 + 3 + ... + n$?
