Consider a function $f$ satisfying $f(\mathrm{x}+\mathrm{y})=f(\mathrm{x}) \mathrm{f}(\mathrm{y})$ where $x , y$ are positive integers, and $f(1)=2$. If $f(\mathrm{a}+1)+f(\mathrm{a}+2)+\ldots \ldots+f(\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{n})=$ $16\left(2^{n}-1\right)$ then a is equal to

If $f(ab) = f(a)f(b)$ for all positive integers $a$ and $b$, then the largest possible value of $f(1)$ is

Suppose for all integers x, there are two function f and g such that $f(x) + f(x-1) - 1 = 0$ and $g(x) = x^2$. If $f(x^2 - x) = 5$, then the value of the sum $f(g(5)) + g(f(5))$ is
