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

Three positive integers $x, y$ and $z$ are in arithmetic progression. If $y − x > 2$ and $xyz = 5(x + y + z)$, then $z − x$ equals

Let $a_n$ and $b_n$ be two sequences such that $a_n = 13 + 6 (n - 1)$ and $b_n = 15 + 7 (n - 1)$ for all natural numbers $n$. Then, the largest three digit integer that is common to both these sequences, is
