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?

Given that $1 + \frac{1}{2^2} + \frac{1}{3^2} + \frac{1}{4^2} + ... = \frac{\pi^2}{6}$, the value of $1 + \frac{1}{3^2} + \frac{1}{5^2} + \frac{1}{7^2} + ...$ is

If $\frac{1}{1^2} + \frac{1}{2^2} + \frac{1}{3^2} + \ldots$ up to $\infty = \frac{\pi^2}{6}$, then the value of $\frac{1}{1^2} + \frac{1}{3^2} + \frac{1}{5^2} + \ldots$ up to $\infty$ is
