9. The interior angles of a polygon are in arithmetic progression. The smallest angle is 120° and the common difference is 5°. Find the number of sides of the polygon.

10. The sum of first 10 terms of an arithmetic progression is 155 and the sum of first two terms of a geometric progression is 9; the first term of the arithmetic progression is equal to the common ratio of the geometric progression and the first term of the geometric progression is equal to the common difference of the arithmetic progression. Find the two progressions.
