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 average of a non-decreasing sequence of $N$ numbers $a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots, a_{N}$ is $300$. If $a_{1}$ is replaced by $6 a_{1}$, the new average becomes $400$. Then, the number of possible values of $a_{1}$ is

Let $a_1, a_2, a_3, a_4, a_5$ be a sequence of five consecutive odd numbers. Consider a new sequence of five consecutive even numbers ending with $2a_3$.

If the sum of the numbers in the new sequence is $450$, then $a_5$ is
