Question 1.
Solution:
(i) 9, 15, 21, 27, …
Here, 15 – 9 = 6,
21 – 15 = 6,
27 – 21 = 6
d = 6 and a = 9
Next term = 27 + 6 = 33
(ii) 11, 6, 1, -4, …
Here, 6 – 11 = -5,
1 – 6 = -5,
-4 – 1 = -5
d = -5 and a = 11
Next term = -4 – 5 = -9

Question 2.
Solution:
(i) AP is 9, 13, 17, 21, ……
Here, a = 9, d = 13 – 9 = 4

Question 3.
Solution:

Question 4.
Solution:
If the terms are in AP, then
a2 – a1 = a3 – a2 = …….
a2 = 3p + 1
a1 = 2p – 1
a3 = 11
⇒ (3p + 1) – (2p – 1) = 11 – (3p + 1)
⇒ 3p + 1 – 2p + 1 = 11 – 3p – 1
⇒ p + 2 = 10 – 3p
⇒ 4p = 8
⇒ p = 2
Then for p = 2, these terms are in AP.

Question 5.
Solution:
(i) AP is 5, 11, 17, 23, ……
Here, a = 5, d = 11 – 5 = 6
Tn = a (n – 1)d = 5 + (n – 1) x 6 = 5 + 6n – 6 = (6n – 1)
(ii) AP is 16, 9, 2, -5, ……
Here, a = 16 d = 9 – 16 = -7
Tn = a + (n – 1)d = 16 + (n – 1) (-7)
= 16 – 7n + 7 = (23 – 7n)

Question 6.
Solution:
nth term = 4n – 10
Substituting the value of 1, 2, 3, 4, …, we get
4n – 10
= 4 x 1 – 10 = 4 – 10 = -6
= 4 x 2 – 10 = 8 – 10 = -2
= 4 x 3 – 10 = 12 – 10 = 2
= 4 x 4 – 10 = 16 – 10 = 6
We see that -6, -2, 2, 6,… are in AP
(i) Whose first term = -6
(ii) Common difference = -2 – (-6) = -2 + 6 = 4
(iii) 16th term = 4 x 16 – 10 = 64 – 10 = 54

Question 7.
Solution:
In AP 6, 10, 14, 18,…, 174
Here, a = 6, d= 10 – 6 = 4
nth or l = 174
Tn = a + (n – 1)d
⇒ 174 = 6 + (n – 1) x 4
⇒ 174 – 6 = (n – 1) x 4
⇒ n – 1 = $$\frac { 168 }{ 4 }$$ = 42
n = 42 + 1 = 43
Hence, there are 43 terms in the given AP.

Question 8.
Solution:
In AP 41, 38, 35,…, 8
a = 41, d = 38 – 41 = -3, l = 8
Let l be the nth term
l = Tn = a + (n – 1) d
⇒ 8 = 41 + (n – 1)(-3)
⇒ 8 – 41 = (n – 1)(-3)
⇒ n – 1 = 11
⇒ n = 11 + 1 = 12
There are 12 terms in the given AP.

Question 9.
Solution:
the AP is 8, 15$$\frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ , 13, …, -47

There are 27 terms in the given AP.

Question 10.
Solution:
Let 88 be the nth term
Now, in AP 3, 8, 13, 18, …
a = 3, d = 8 – 3 = 5
Tn = a + (n – 1) d
88 = 3 + (n – 1)(5)
⇒ 88 – 3 = (n – 1) x 5
⇒ $$\frac { 88 }{ 5 }$$ = n – 1
⇒ 17 = n – 1
n= 17 + 1 = 18
88 is the 18th term.

Question 11.
Solution:
In the AP 72, 68, 64, 60, …..
Let 0 be the nth term
Here, a = 72, d = 68 – 72 = -4
Tn = a + (n – 1)d
0 = 72 + (n – 1)(-4)
⇒ -72 = -4(n – 1)
⇒ n – 1 = 18
⇒ n = 18 + 1 = 19
0 is the 19th term.

Question 12.
Solution:

n = 13 + 1 = 14
3 is the 14th term.

Question 13.
Solution:
In the AP 21, 18, 15, ……
Let -81 is the nth term
a = 21, d = 18 – 21 = -3
Tn = a + (n – 1)d
⇒ -81 = 21 + (n – 1)(-3)
⇒ -81 – 21 = (n – 1)(-3)
⇒ -102 = (n – 1)(-3)
⇒ n – 1 = 34
n = 34 + 1 = 35
-81 is the 35th term

Question 14.
Solution:
In the given AP 3, 8, 13, 18,…
a = 3, d = 8 – 3 = 5
T20 = a + (n – 1)d = 3 + (20 – 1) x 5 = 3 + 19 x 5 = 3 + 95 = 98
The required term = 98 + 55 = 153
Let 153 be the nth term, then
Tn = a + (n – 1)d
⇒ 153 = 3 + (n – 1) x 5
⇒ 153 – 3 = 5(n – 1)
⇒ 150 = 5(n – 1)
⇒ n – 1 = 30
⇒ n = 30 + 1 = 31
Required term will be 31st term.

Question 15.
Solution:
AP is 5, 15, 25,…
a = 5, d = 15 – 5 = 10
T31 = a + (n – 1)d = 5 + (31 – 1) x 10 = 5 + 30 x 10 = 5 + 300 = 305
Now the required term = 305 + 130 = 435
Let 435 be the nth term, then
Tn = a + (n – 1)d
⇒ 435 = 5 + (n – 1)10
⇒ 435 – 5 = (n – 1)10
⇒ n – 1 = 43
⇒ n = 43 + 1 = 44
The required term will be 44th term.

Question 16.
Solution:
Let a be the first term and d be the common difference, then

Question 17.
Solution:

T16 = 6 + (16 – 1)7 = 6+ 15 x 7 = 6 + 105 = 111

Question 18.
Solution:
AP is 10, 7, 4, …, (-62)
a = 10, d = 7 – 10 = -3, l = -62
l = Tn = a + (n – 1)d
⇒ -62 = 10 + (n – 1) x (-3)
⇒ -62 – 10 = -3(n- 1)
-72 = -3(n – 1)
n = 24 + 1 = 25
Middle term = $$\frac { 25 + 1 }{ 2 }$$ th = 13th term
T13 = 10 + (13 – 1)(-3) = 10+ 12 x (-3)= 10 – 36 = -26

Question 19.
Solution:

Question 20.
Solution:
AP is 7, 10, 13,…, 184
a = 7, d = 10 – 7 = 3, l = 184
nth term from the end = l – (n – 1)d
8th term from the end = 184 – (8 – 1) x 3 = 184 – 7 x 3 = 184 – 21 = 163

Question 21.
Solution:
AP is 17, 14, 11, …,(-40)
Here, a = 17, d = 14 – 17 = -3, l = -40
6th term from the end = l – (n – 1)d
= -40 – (6 – 1) x (-3)
= -40 – [5 x (-3)]
= -40 + 15
= -25

Question 22.
Solution:
Let 184 be the nth term of the AP
3, 7, 11, 15, …
Here, a = 3, d = 7 – 3 = 4
Tn = a + (n – 1)d
⇒ 184 = 3 + (n – 1) x 4
⇒ 184 – 3 = (n – 1) x 4
⇒ $$\frac { 181 }{ 4 }$$ = n – 1
⇒ n = $$\frac { 181 }{ 4 }$$ + 1 = $$\frac { 185 }{ 4 }$$ = 46$$\frac { 1 }{ 4 }$$
Which is in fraction.
184 is not a term of the given AP.

Question 23.
Solution:
Let -150 be the nth term of the AP
11, 8, 5, 2,…

Question 24.

Question 25.
Solution:

Question 26.
Solution:
Let a be the first term and d be the common difference of an AP
Tn = a + (n – 1)d
T7 = a + (7 – 1)d = a + 6d = -4 …(i)
T13 = a + 12d = -16 …..(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii),
6d = -16 – (-4) = -16 + 4 = -12
From (i), a + 6d = -4
a + (-12) = -4
⇒ a = -4 + 12 = 8
a = 8, d = -2
AP will be 8, 6, 4, 2, 0, ……

Question 27.
Solution:
Let a be the first term and d be the common difference of an AP.
T4 = a + (n- 1)d = a + (4 – 1)d = a + 3d
a + 3d = 0 ⇒ a = -3d
Similarly,
T25 = a + 24d and T11 = a + 10d = -3d + 24d = 21d
It is clear that T25 = 3 x T11

Question 28.
Solution:
Given, a6 = 0
⇒ a + 5d = 0
⇒ a = -5 d
Now, a15 = a + (n – 1 )d
= a + (15 – 1)d = -5d + 14d = 9d
and a33 = a + (n – 1 )d = a + (33 – 1)d = -5d + 32d = 27d
Now, a33 : a12
⇒ 27d : 9d
⇒ 3 : 1
a33 = 3 x a15

Question 29.
Solution:
Let a be the first term and d be the common difference of an AP.
Tn = a + (n – 1)d
T4 = a + (4 – 1)d = a + 3d
a + 3d = 11 …(i)
Now, T5 = a + 4d
and T7 = a + 6d
Adding, we get T5 + T7 = a + 4d + a + 6d = 2a + 10d
2a + 10d = 34
⇒ a + 5d = 17 …(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii),
2d = 17 – 11 = 6
⇒ d = 3
Hence, common difference = 3

Question 34.
Solution:
In an AP,
Let d be the common difference,
First term (a) = 5
Sum of first 4 terms
= a + a + d + a + 2d + a + 3d = 4a + 6d
Sum of next 4 terms
= a + 4d + a + 5d + a + 6d + a + 7d = 4a + 22d
According to the condition,

Numbers between 101 and 999 which are divisible both by 2 and 5 will be
110, 120, 130,…, 990

Question 46.
Solution:
Let number of from a rows are in the flower bed, then

Question 47.
Solution:
Total amount = ₹ 2800
and number of prizes = 4
Let first prize = ₹ a
Then second prize = ₹ a – 200
Third prize = a – 200 – 200 = a – 400
and fourth prize = a – 400 – 200 = a – 600
But sum of there 4 prizes are ₹ 2800
a + a – 200 + a – 400 + a – 600 = ₹ 2800
⇒ 4a – 1200 = 2800
⇒ 4a = 2800 + 1200 = 4000
⇒ a = 1000
First prize = ₹ 1000
Second prize = ₹ 1000 – 200 = ₹ 800
Third prize = ₹ 800 – 200 = ₹ 600
and fourth prize = ₹ 600 – 200 = ₹ 400

Question 48.
Solution:
The first term between 200 and 500 divisible by 8 is 208, and last term is 496.
So, first term (a) = 208
Common difference (d) = 8
Now, an = a + (n – 1 )d
⇒ 496 = 208 + (n – 1) x 8
⇒ (n – 1) = $$\frac { 288 }{ 8 }$$
⇒ n – 1 = 36
⇒ n = 36 + 1 = 37
Hence, there are 37 integers between 200 and 500 which are divisible by 8.
