(a) The 3rd and 6th terms of a Geometric Progression (G.P) are 2 and 54 respectively. Find the : (i) common ratio ; (ii) first term ; (iii) sum of the first 10 terms, correct to the nearest whole number. 

(b) The ratio of the coefficient of \(x^{4}\) to that of \(x^{3}\) in the binomial expansion of \((1 + 2x)^{n}\) is \(3 : 1\). Find the value of n.
