Question 1.
Find three numbers in A.P. whose sum is 24 and whose product is 440.
Solution:
Let three numbers be a – d, a, a + d
a – d + a + a + d = 24

Question 2.
The sum of three consecutive terms of an A.P. is 21 and the slim of their squares is 165. Find these terms.
Solution:
Let three consecutive numbers in A.P. are
a – d, a, a + d
a – d + a + a + d = 21

Question 3.
The angles of a quadrilateral are in A.P. with common difference 20°. Find its angles.
Solution:
Let the angles of a quadrilateral are
a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d
d= 20°
a + a + d + a + 2d + a + 3d = 360°
(Sum of angles of a quadrilateral)
=> 4a + 6d = 360°
=> 4a + 6 x 20° = 360°
=> 4a + 120° = 360°
=> 4a = 360 – 120° = 240°
a = $$\\ \frac { 240 }{ 4 }$$ = 60°
Angles are 60°, 80°, 100°, 120°

Question 4.
Divide 96 into four parts which are in A.P. and the ratio between product of their means to product of their extremes is 15 : 7.
Solution:
Number = 96
Let its four parts be a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d
a + a + d + a + 2d + a + 3d = 96
=> 4a + 6d = 96
=> 2a + 3d = 48 …(i)
Product of means : Product of extremes = 15 : 7

Question 5.
Find five numbers in A.P. whose sum is $$12 \frac { 1 }{ 2 }$$ and the ratio of the first to the last terms is 2 : 3.
Solution:
Let 5 numbers in A.P. be
a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 2d, a + 4d
a + a + d + a + 2d + a + 3d + a + 4d =

Question 6.
Split 207 into three parts such that these parts are in A.P. and the product of the two smaller parts is 4623.
Solution:
Number = 207
Let part be a – d, a, a + d
a – d + a + a + d = 207

Question 7.
The sum of three numbers in A.P. is 15 the sum of the squares of the extreme is 58. Find the numbers
Solution:
Let three numbers in A.P. be a – d, a, a + d
a – d + a + a + d = 15
=> 3a = 15

Question 8.
Find four numbers in A.P. whose sum is 20 and the sum of whose squares is 120.
Solution:
Let four numbers in A.P. be
a – 3d, a – d, a + d, a + 3d
a – 3d + a – d + a + d + a + 3d = 20

Question 9.
Insert one arithmetic mean between 3 and 13.
Solution:
Let A be the arithmetic mean between 3 and 13
$$\left( A=\frac { a+b }{ 2 } \right)$$
A = $$\\ \frac { 3+13 }{ 2 }$$
= $$\\ \frac { 16 }{ 2 }$$
= 8

Question 10.
The angles of a polygon are in A.P. with common difference 5°. If the smallest angle is 120°, find the number of sides of the polygon.
Solution:
Angles of a polygon are in A.P.
and common difference (d) = 5°
Smallest angle (a) = 120°
Let n be the number of sides of the polygon then sum of angles = (2n – 4) x 90°
a = 120° and d = 5°

Question 11.
$$\\ \frac { 1 }{ a }$$, $$\\ \frac { 1 }{ b }$$ and $$\\ \frac { 1 }{ c }$$ are in A.P
S.T : bc, ca and ab are also in A.P
Solution:
$$\\ \frac { 1 }{ a }$$, $$\\ \frac { 1 }{ b }$$ and $$\\ \frac { 1 }{ c }$$ are in A.P
We have to show that
