Abstract: 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

a l p h a_{n}

.
