There are numbers $a_1, a_2, a_3, \ldots, a_n$ each of them being $+1$ or $-1$. If it is known that $a_1 a_2 + a_2 a_3 + a_3 a_4 + \ldots a_{n-1} a_n + a_n a_1 = 0$ then

Let $S_1 = \{100, 105, 110, 115, ... \}$ and $S_2 = \{100, 95, 90, 85, ... \}$ be two series in arithmetic progression. If $a_k$ and $b_k$ are the $k$-th terms of $S_1$ and $S_2$, respectively, then $\sum_{k=1}^{20} a_k b_k$ equals __________.

The sum up to $10$ terms of the series $1 \cdot 3 + 5 \cdot 7 + 9 \cdot 11 + ...$ is
