At scattered places in his first notebook, Ramanujan recorded the values for 107 class invariants or irreducible monic polynomials satisfied by them. On pages 294-299 in his second notebook, he gave a table of values for 77 class invariants $G_n$ and $g_n$ in his second notebook. Traditionally, $G_n$ is determined for odd values of $n$ and $g_n$ for even values of $n$. On pages 338 and 339 in his first notebook, Ramanujan defined the remarkable product of theta-functions $a_{m, n}$. Also, he recorded eighteen explicit values depending on two parameters, namely, $m$, and $n$, where these are odd integers. In this paper, we initiate to study explicit evaluations of $G_n$ for even values of $n$. We establish a new general formula for the explicit evaluations of $G_n$ involving class invariant $g_n$. For this purpose, we derive a new P-Q modular equation of degree two. Further application of this modular equation, we establish a new formula to explicit evaluation of $a_{m, 2}$. Also, we compute several explicit values of class invariant $g_{n}$ and singular moduli $\alpha_n$., Comment: 12 pages. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:2004.05854, arXiv:2004.14631

On pages 338 and 339 in his first notebook, Ramanujan defined the remarkable product of theta-functions $a_{m, n}$. Also he recorded eighteen explicit values depending on two parameters, namely, $m$, and $n$, where these are odd integers. All these values were established by Berndt et al. In this paper, we initiate to study explicit evaluations of $a_{m, n}$ for even values of $m$. We establish a new general theorems for the explicit evaluations of $a_{m, n}$ involving class invariant of Ramanujan. For this purpose, we establish several new P-Q mixed modular equations. Using these theorems, we calculate several new explicit values of $a_{m, n}$ for $n = 3, 5, 7, 13$ and even values of $m$.

At scattered places of his notebooks, Ramanujan recorded over 30 values of singular moduli $\alpha_n$. All those results were proved by Berndt et. al by employing Weber-Ramanujan's class invariants. In this paper, we initiate to derive the explicit evaluations formula for $\alpha_{9n}$ and $\alpha_{n/9}$ by involving class invariant. For this purpose, we establish several new $P-Q$ mixed modular equations involving theta-functions. Further application of these modular equations, we derive a new formula to explicit evaluation of Ramanujan- Selberg continued fraction., Comment: 11 pages
