For a sequence of real numbers $x_1, x_2, ...... x_n$, if $x_1 - x_2 + x_3 - .... + (-1)^{n + 1} x_n = n^2 + 2n$ for all natural numbers n, then the sum $x_{49} + x_{50}$ equals

Consider the arithmetic progression 3, 7, 11, ..... and let Aₙ denote the sum of the first n terms of this progression. Then the value of $\frac{1}{25} \sum_{n=1}^{25} A_n$ is

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
