If $a_1 = a_2 = 2$ and $a_n = a_{n-1} - 1$ for $n > 2$,then $a_5$ is

Write the first five terms of the sequence whose $n^{th}$ term is $a_{n} = (-1)^{n-1} 5^{n+1}$.

The sum of three consecutive terms in a geometric progression is $14$. If $1$ is added to the first and the second terms and $1$ is subtracted from the third,the resulting new terms are in arithmetic progression. Then the lowest of the original terms is

If the $(m + 1)^{th}$,$(n + 1)^{th}$ and $(r + 1)^{th}$ terms of an $A.P.$ are in $G.P.$ and $m, n, r$ are in $H.P.$,then the value of the ratio of the common difference to the first term of the $A.P.$ is

Let $S_{n} = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{6} + \frac{1}{12} + \frac{1}{20} + \ldots$ up to $n$ terms. If the sum of the first six terms of an $A.P.$ with first term $-p$ and common difference $p$ is $\sqrt{2026 S_{2025}}$,then the absolute difference between the $20^{\text{th}}$ and $15^{\text{th}}$ terms of the $A.P.$ is

Let $\alpha = \sum_{n=101}^{200} 2^n \sum_{k=101}^n \frac{1}{k !}$ and $b = \sum_{n=101}^{200} \frac{2^{201}-2^n}{n !}$. Then,$\frac{a}{b}$ is
