Consider a sequence of real number $x_1, x_2, x_3, ...$ such that $x_{n+1} = x_n + n - 1$ for all $n \ge 1$. If $x_1 = -1$ then $x_{100}$ is equal to

Let $a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots \ldots . . . a_{3 n}$ be an arithmetic progression with $a_{1}=3$ and $a_{2}=7$. If $a_{1}+a_{2}+\ldots .+a_{3 n}=1830$, then what is the smallest positive integer $m$ such that $m\left(a_{1}+a_{2}+\ldots .+a_{n}\right)>1830$ ?

Consider the arithmetic progression 3, 7, 11, ..... and let Aₙ denote the sum of the first n terms of this progression. Then the value of $\frac{1}{25} \sum_{n=1}^{25} A_n$ is
