Three distinct numbers are selected randomly from the set $\{1, 2, 3, \ldots, 40\}$. If the probability that the selected numbers are in an increasing $G.P.$ is $\frac{m}{n}$,where $\operatorname{gcd}(m, n) = 1$,then $m + n$ is equal to . . . . . . .

Consider the $6 \times 6$ square grid in the figure. Let $A_1, A_2, \ldots, A_{49}$ be the points of intersection (dots in the picture) in some order. We say that $A_i$ and $A_j$ are friends if they are adjacent along a row or along a column. Assume that each point $A_i$ has an equal chance of being chosen.
$(1)$ Let $p_i$ be the probability that a randomly chosen point has $i$ many friends,$i=0, 1, 2, 3, 4$. Let $X$ be a random variable such that for $i=0, 1, 2, 3, 4$,the probability $P(X=i)=p_i$. Then the value of $7 E(X)$ is
$(2)$ Two distinct points are chosen randomly out of the points $A_1, A_2, \ldots, A_{49}$. Let $p$ be the probability that they are friends. Then the value of $7 p$ is
