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

The value of the sum $7 \times 11 + 11 \times 15 + 15 \times 19 + \dots + 95 \times 99$ is

If $a_{1}, a_{2} \ldots .$. are in A.P., then, $\frac{1}{\sqrt{a_{1}}+\sqrt{a_{2}}}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{a_{2}}+\sqrt{a_{3}}}+\ldots .+\frac{1}{\sqrt{a_{n}}+\sqrt{a_{n+1}}}$ is equal to
