The $3^{\text {rd }}, 14^{\text {th }}$ and $69^{\text {th }}$ terms of an arithmetic progression form three distinct and consecutive terms of a geometric progression. If the next term of the geometric progression is the $n^{\text {th }}$ term of the arithmetic progression, then $n$ equals ________.

It is given that the sequence {$x_n$} satisfies $x_1 = 0, x_{n+1} = x_n + 1 + 2√(1+x_n)$ for $n = 1,2,...$ Then $x_{31}$ is _______

Let $S_n$ be sum of the first $n$ terms of an A.P. If $S_5 = S_9$, what is the ratio of $a_3 : a_5$

A person standing at the centre of an open ground first walks 32 meters towards the east, takes a right turn and walks 16 meters, takes another right turn and walks 8 meters, and so on. How far will the person be from the original starting point after an infinite number of such walks in this pattern?
