A lab experiment measures the number of organisms at $8$ am every day. Starting with $2$ organisms on the first day, the number of organisms on any day is equal to $3$ more than twice the number on the previous day. If the number of organisms on nth day exceeds one million, then the lowest possible value of $n$ is

For a sequence of real numbers $x_1, x_2, ...... x_n$, if $x_1 - x_2 + x_3 - .... + (-1)^{n + 1} x_n = n^2 + 2n$ for all natural numbers n, then the sum $x_{49} + x_{50}$ equals

Let both the series $a_1, a_2, a_3, \dots$ and $b_1, b_2, b_3 \dots$ be in arithmetic progression such that the common differences of both the series are prime numbers. If $a_5 = b_9$, $a_{19} = b_{19}$ and $b_2 = 0$, then $a_{11}$ equals
