Let $a_{1}, a_{2}, a_{3}$ be three distinct real numbers in geometric progression. If the equations $a_{1} x ^ 2 + 2a_{2}x + a_{3} = 0$ and $b_{1} x ^ 2 + 2b_{2}x + b_{3} = 0$ have a common root, then which of the following is necessarily true?

The terms of a geometric progression are real and positive. If the $p$-th term of the progression is $q$ and the $q$-th term is $p$, then the logarithm of the first term is

If $(1 + x - 2x^2)^6 = A_0 + \sum_{r=1}^{12} A_r x^r$, then the value of $A_2 + A_4 + A_6 + \cdots + A_{12}$ is
