Question 5.
The first term of an A.P. is 5, the common difference is 3 and the last term is 80; find the number of terms.
Solution:
The first term of an A.P. (a) = 5
and common difference (d) = 3
Last term = 80
Let the last term be nth
a_n = a + (n – 1) d
=> 80 = 5 + (n – 1) x 3
=> 80= 5 + 3n – 3
=> 3n = 80 – 5 + 3 = 78
=> n = 26
Number of terms = 26

Question 6.
The 6th and 17th terms of an A.P. are 19 and 41 respectively, find the 40th term.
Solution:
6th term of A.P. = 19
and 17th term = 41
Let a be the first term, and d be the common difference
We know that

Question 7.
If 9th term of an A.P. is zero, prove that its 29th term is double the 19th term.
Solution:

Question 8.
If 10 times the 10th term of an A.P. is equal to 15 times the 15th term, show that 25th term of the A.P. is zero.
Solution:
Let a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d, ……… be an A.P.
a_n = a + (n – 1) d
Now a₁₀ = a + (10 – 1) d = a + 9d
and a₁₅ = a + (15 – 1) d = a + 14d

Question 9.
The 10th and 18th terms of an A.P. are 41 and 73 respectively. Find 26th term.
Solution:

Question 10.
In a certain A.P. the 24th term is twice the 10th term. Prove that the 72nd term is twice the 34th term.
Solution:
Let a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d, …….. be an A.P.
a_n = a + (n – 1) d
10th (a₁₀) = a + (10 – 1) d = a + 9d
and 24th term (a₂₄) = a + (24 – 1) d = a + 23d
24th term = 2 x 10th term
a + 23d = 2 (a + 9d)
=> a + 23d = 2a + 18d
=> 2a – a = 23d – 18d
=> a = 5d ….(i)
Now 72nd term = a + (72 – 1)d = a + 71d
and 34th term = a + (34 – 1) d = a + 33d
Now a + 71d – 5d + 71d = 76d
and a + 33d = 5d+ 33d = 38d
76d = 2 x 38d
72th term = 2 (34th term) = twice of the 34th term
Hence proved.

The 26th, 11th and last term of an A.P. are 0, 3 and – \(\frac { 1 }{ 5 }\) , respectively. Find the common difference and the number of terms. [NCERT Exemplar]
Solution:
Let the first term, common difference and number of terms of an A.P. are a, d and n, respectively.
We know that, if last term of an A.P. is known, then
l = a + (n – 1) d ……(i)
and nth term of an A.P is

Question 12.
If the nth term of the A.P. 9, 7, 5, … is same as the nth term of the A.P. 15, 12, 9, … find n.
Solution:
In A.P 9, 7, 5, ………
Here first term (a) = 9 and d = 7 – 9 = -2 {or 5 – 7 = -2}
nth term (a_n) = a + (n – 1) d = 9 + (n – 1) (-2) = 9 – 2n + 2 = 11 – 2n
Now in A.P. 15, 12, 9, …..
Here first term (a) = 15 and (d) = 12 – 15 = -3
nth term (a_n) = a + (n – 1) d = 15 + (n – 1) x (-3)
The nth term of first A.P. = nth term of second A.P.
11 – 2n = 18 – 3n
=> -2n + 3n = 18 – 11
=> n = 7
Hence n = 7

Question 13.
Find the 12th term from the end of the following arithmetic progressions :
(i) 3, 5, 7, 9, … 201
(ii) 3, 8, 13,…, 253
(iii) 1, 4, 7, 10, …, 88
Solution:
(i) In the A.P. 3, 5, 7, 9, … 201
First term (a) = 3, last term (l) = 201
and common difference (d) = 5 – 3 = 2
We know that nth term from the last = l – (n – 1 ) d
12th term from the last = 201 – (12 – 1) x 2 = 201 – 11 x 2 = 201 – 22 = 179
(ii) In the A.P. 3, 8, 13, …, 253
First term (a) = 3
Common difference (d) = 8 – 3 = 5
and last term = 253
The nth term from the last = l – (n – 1) d
12th term from the last = 253 – (12 – 1) x 5 = 253 – 11 x 5 = 253 – 55 = 198
(iii) In the A.P. 1, 4, 7, 10, …, 88
First term (a) = 1
Common difference (d) = 4 – 1 = 3
and last term = 88
The nth term from the last = l – (n – 1) d
12th term from the last = 88 – (12 – 1) x 3 = 88 – 11 x 3 = 88 – 33 = 55

Let a be the first term and d be the common difference, then

Question 16.
How many numbers of two digit are divisible by 3 ?
Solution:
Let n be the number of terms which are divisible by 3 and d are of two digit numbers
Let a be the first term and d be the common difference, then
a = 12, d = 3, last term = 99
a_n = a + (n – 1) d
99 = 12 + (n – 1) x 3
=> 99 = 12 + 3n – 3
=> 3n = 99 – 9
=> n = 30
Number of terms = 30

Question 17.
An A.P. consists of 60 terms. If the first and the last terms be 7 and 125 respectively, find 32nd term.
Solution:
In an A.P.
n = 60
First term (a) = 7 and last term (l) = 125
Let d be the common difference, then
a₆₀ = a + (60 – 1) d
=> 125 = 7 + 59d
=> 59d = 125 – 7 = 118
Common difference = 2
Now 32nd term (a₃₂) = a + (32 – 1) d = 7 + 31 x 2 = 7+ 62 = 69

Solution:
Let a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d, be the A.P.
Here a is the first term and d is the common difference
a_n = a + (n – 1) d
Now a₇ = a + (7 – 1) d = a + 6d = 32 ….(i)
and a₁₃ = a + (13 – 1) d = a + 12d = 62 ….(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii)
6d = 30
=> d = 5
a + 6 x 5 = 32
=> a + 30 = 32
=> a = 32 – 30 = 2
A.P. will be 2, 7, 12, 17, ………..

For what value of n, the nth terms of the arithmetic progressions 63, 65, 67,… and 3, 10, 17, … are equal ? (C.B.S.E. 2008)
Solution:
In the A.P. 63, 65, 67, …
a = 63 and d = 65 – 63 = 2
a_n = a₁ + (n – 1) d = 63 + (n – 1) x 2 = 63 + 2n – 2 = 61 + 2n
and in the A.P. 3, 10, 17, …
a = 3 and d = 10 – 3 = 7
a_n = a + (n – 1) d = 3 + (n – 1) x 7 = 3 + 7n – 7 = 7n – 4
But both nth terms are equal
61 + 2n = 7n – 4
=> 61 + 4 = 7n – 2n
=> 65 = 5n
=> n = 13
n = 13

Question 29.
How many multiples of 4 lie between 10 and 250 ?
Solution:
All the terms between 10 and 250 are multiple of 4
First multiple (a) = 12
and last multiple (l) = 248
and d = 4
Let n be the number of multiples, then
a_n = a + (n – 1) d
=> 248 = 12 + (n – 1) x 4 = 12 + 4n – 4
=> 248 = 8 + 4n
=> 4n = 248 – 8 = 240
n = 60
Number of terms are = 60

Question 30.

First three digit number is 100 and last three digit number is 999
In the sequence of the required three digit numbers which are divisible by 7, will be between
a = 105 and last number l = 994 and d = 7
Let n be the number of terms, then
a_n = a + (n – 1) d
994 = 105 + (n – 1) x 7
994 = 105 + 7n – 7
=> 7n = 994 – 105 + 7
=> 7n = 896
=> n = 128
Number of terms =128

Question 32.
Find the term of the arithmetic progression 9, 12, 15, 18, … which is 39 more than its 36th term (C.B.S.E. 2006C)
Solution:
In the given A.R 9, 12, 15, 18, …
First term (a) = 9
and common difference (d) = 12 – 9 = 3
and a_n = a + (n – 1) d
Now a₃₆ = a + (36 – 1) d = 9 + 35 x 3 = 9 + 105 = 114
Let the an be the required term
a_n = a + (n – 1) d
= 9 + (n – 1) x 3 = 9 + 3n – 3 = 6 + 3n
But their difference is 39
a_n – a₃₆ = 39
=> 6 + 3n – 114 = 39
=> 114 – 6 + 39 = 3n
=> 3n = 147
=> n = 49
Required term is 49th

Question 33.

Which term of the A.P. 3, 15, 27, 39, …. will be 120 more than its 21st term ? (C.B.S.E. 2009)
Solution:
A.P. is given : 3, 15, 27, 39, …….
Here first term (a) = 3
and c.d. (d) = 15 – 3 = 12
Let nth term be the required term
Now 21st term = a + (n – 1) d = 3 + 20 x 12 = 3 + 240 = 243
According to the given condition,
nth term – 21 st term = 120
=> a + (n – 1) d – 243 = 120
=> 3 + (n – 1) x 12 = 120 + 243 = 363
=> (n – 1) 12 = 363 – 3 = 360
=> n – 1 = 30
=> n = 30 + 1 = 31
31 st term is the required term

=>a + 24d = 140 + T₅
=> a + 24d = 140 + 31 = 171 …..(ii)
Subtracting (i) from (ii),
20d= 140
and a + 4d = 31
=> a + 4 x 7 = 31

where l is the last term and d is the common difference. 12th term from the end,
a_n = -100 – (12 – 1) (-2)
= -100 + (11) (2) = -100 + 22 = -78
Hence, the 12th term from the end is -78

Question 53.
For the A.P.: -3, -7, -11,…, can we find a₃₀ – a₂₀ without actually finding a₃₀ and a₂₀ ? Give reasons for your answer. [NCERT Exemplar]
Solution:
True.
nth term of an A.P., a_n = a + (n – 1)d
a₃₀ = a + (30 – 1 )d = a + 29d
and a₂₀ = a + (20 – 1 )d = a + 19d …(i)
Now, a₃₀ – a₂₀ = (a + 29d) – (a + 19d) = 10d
and from given A.P.
common difference, d = -7 – (-3) = -7 + 3 = -4
a₃₀ – a₂₀ = 10(-4) = -40 [from Eq- (i)]

Question 54.
Two A.P.s have the same common difference. The first term of one A.P. is 2 and that of the other is 7. The difference between their 10th terms is the same as the difference between their 21st terms, which is the same as the difference between any two corresponding terms. Why? [NCERT Exemplar]
Solution:
Let the same common difference of two A.P.’s is d.
Given that, the first term of first A.P. and second A.P. are 2 and 7 respectively,
then the A.P.’s are 2, 2 + d, 2 + 2d, 2 + 3d, … and 7, 7 + d, 7 + 2d, 7 + 3d, …
Now, 10th terms of first and second A.P.’s are 2 + 9d and 7 + 9d, respectively.
So, their difference is 7 + 9d – (2 + 9d) = 5
Also, 21st terms of first and second A.P.’s are 2 + 20d and 7 + 20d, respectively.
So, their difference is 7 + 20d – (2 + 9d) = 5
Also, if the a_n and b_n are the nth terms of first and second A.P.
Then b_n – a_n = [7 + (n – 1 ) d] – [2 + (n – 1) d = 5
Hence, the difference between any two corresponding terms of such A.P.’s is the same as the difference between their first terms.

Question 2.
Write the arithmetic progression when first term a and common difference d are as follows:
(i) a = 4, d = -3
(ii) a = -1, d= \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)
(iii) a = -1.5, d = -0.5
Solution:
(i) First term (a) = 4
and common difference (d) = -3
Second term = a + d = 4 – 3 = 1
Third term = a + 2d = 4 + 2 x (-3) = 4 – 6 = -2
Fourth term = a + 3d = 4 + 3 (-3) = 4 – 9 = -5
Fifth term = a + 4d = 4 + 4 (-3) = 4 – 12 = -8
AP will be 4, 1, -2, -5, -8, ……….

Question 3.
In which of the following situations, the sequence of numbers formed will form an A.P?
(i) The cost of digging a well for the first metre is ₹ 150 and rises by ₹ 20 for each succeeding metre.
(ii) The amount of air present in the cylinder when a vacuum pump removes each time \(\frac { 1 }{ 4 }\) of the remaining in the cylinder.
(iii) Divya deposited ₹ 1000 at compound interest at the rate of 10% per annum. The amount at the end of first year, second year, third year, …, and so on. [NCERT Exemplar]
Solution:
(i) Cost of digging a well for the first metre = ₹ 150
Cost for the second metre = ₹ 150 + ₹ 20 = ₹ 170
Cost for the third metre = ₹ 170 + ₹ 20 = ₹ 190
Cost for the fourth metre = ₹ 190 + ₹ 20 = ₹ 210
The sequence will be (In rupees)
150, 170, 190, 210, ………..
Which is an A.P.
Whose = 150 and d = 20
(ii) Let air present in the cylinder = 1


(iii) Amount at the end of the 1st year = ₹ 1100
Amount at the end of the 2nd year = ₹ 1210
Amount at the end of 3rd year = ₹ 1331 and so on.
So, the amount (in ₹) at the end of 1st year, 2nd year, 3rd year, … are
1100, 1210, 1331, …….
Here, a₂ – a₁ = 110
a₃ – a₂ = 121

We see that it is an A.P. whose common difference is b and a for any real value of a and b
as a₂ – a₁ = a + 2b – a – b = b
a₃ – a₂ = a + 3b – a – 2b = b
a₄ – a₃ = a + 4b – a – 3b = b
and a₅ – a₄ = a + 5b – a – 4b = b
