Question 60.
Resham wanted to save at least 76500 for sending her daughter to school next year (after 12 months). She saved ₹450 in the first month and raised her savings by ₹20 every next month. How much will she be able to save in next 12 months? Will she be able to send her daughter to the school next year?
Solution:
Given : Resham saved ₹450 in the first month and raised her saving by ₹20 every month and saved in next 12 months.
First term (a) = 450
Common difference (d) = 20
and No. of terms (n) = 12
We know sum of n terms is in A.P.
S_n = \(\frac { n }{ 2 }\) [2a + (n – 1) d]
S_n = \(\frac { 12 }{ 2 }\) [2 x 450 + (12 – 1) x 20]
=> S_n = 6[900 + 240]
=> S_n = 6720

Question 63.
A man saved ₹ 16500 in ten years. In each year after the first he saved ₹ 100 more than he did in the preceding year. How much did he save in the first year ?
Solution:
Savings in 10 years = ₹ 16500
S₁₀ = ₹ 16500 and d = 7100
S_n = \(\frac { n }{ 2 }\) [2a + (n – 1)d]
16500= \(\frac { 10 }{ 2 }\) [2 x a + (10 – 1) x 100]
16500 = 5 (2a + 900)
16500 = 10a + 4500
=> 10a = 16500 – 4500 = 12000
a = 1200
Saving for the first year = ₹ 1200

Question 66.
There are 25 trees at equal distances of 5 metres in a line with a well, the distance of the well from the nearest tree being 10 metres. A gardener waters all the trees separately starting from the well and he returns to the well after watering each tree to get water for the next. Find the total distance the gardener will cover in order to water all the trees.
Solution:
Number of trees = 25

Distance between one to other tree = 5 m
Distance between first near and the well = 10 m
Now in order to water the first tree, the gardener has to cover 10m + 10m = 20m
and to water the second tree, the distance to covered is 15 + 15 = 30 m
To water the third tree, the distance to cover is = 20 + 20 = 40 m
The series will be 20, 30, 40, ……….

The flags are stored at the position of the middle most flag Ruchi was given the responsibility of placing the flags. Ruchi kept her books where the flags were stored. She could carry only one flag at a time. How much distance did she cover in completing this job and returning back to collect her books? What is the maximum distance she travelled carrying a flag? [NCERT Exemplar]
Solution:
Given that, the students of a school decided to beautify the school on the annual day by fixing colourful flags on the straight passage of the school.
Given that, the number of flags = 27
and distance between each flag = 2 m.
Also, the flags are stored at the position of the middle most flag i. e., 14th flag and Ruchi was given the responsibility of placing the flags.
Ruchi kept her books, where the flags were stored i.e., 14th flag and she could carry only one flag at a time.
Let she placed 13 flags into her left position from middle most flag i.e., 14th flag.
For placing second flag and return his initial position distance travelled = 2 + 2 = 4 m.
Similarly, for placing third flag and return his initial position, distance travelled = 4 + 4 = 8 m.
For placing fourth flag and return his initial position, distance travelled = 6 + 6 = 12 m.
For placing fourteenth flag and return his initial position, distance travelled = 26 + 26 = 52 m.
Proceed same manner into her right position from middle most flag i.e., 14th flag.
Total distance travelled in that case = 52 m.
Also, when Ruchi placed the last flag she return her middle position and collect her books.
This distance also included in placed the last flag.
So, these distances from a series.
4 + 8 + 12 + 16 + … + 52 [for left]
and 4 + 8 + 12 + 16 + … + 52 [for right] .
Total distance covered by Ruchi for placing these flags
= 2 x (4 + 8 + 12 + … +52)


Hence, the required is 728 m in which she did cover in completing this job and returning back to collect her books.
Now, the maximum distance she travelled carrying a flag = Distance travelled by Ruchi during placing the 14th flag in her left position or 27th flag in her right position
= (2 + 2 + 2 + … + 13 times)
= 2 x 13 = 26 m
Hence, the required maximum distance she travelled carrying a flag is 26 m.

Question 1.
Find the value of x for which (8x + 4), (6x – 2) and (2x + 7) are in A.P.
Solution:
(8x + 4), (6x – 2) and (2x + 7) are in A.P.
(6x – 2) – (8x + 4) = (2x + 7) – (6x – 2)
=> 6x – 2 – 8x – 4 = 2x + 7 – 6x + 2
=> -2x – 6 = -4x + 9
=> -2x + 4x = 9 + 6
=> 2x = 15
Hence x = \(\frac { 15 }{ 2 }\)

Question 2.
If x + 1, 3x and 4x + 2 are in A.P., find the value of x.
Solution:
x + 1, 3x and 4x + 2 are in A.P.
3x – x – 1 = 4x + 2 – 3x
=> 2x – 1 = x + 2
=> 2x – x = 2 + 1
=> x = 3
Hence x = 3

Question 3.
Show that (a – b)², (a² + b²) and (a + b)² are in A.P.
Solution:
(a – b)², (a² + b²) and (a + b)² are in A.P.
If 2 (a² + b²) = (a – b)² + (a + b)²
If 2 (a² + b²) = a² + b² – 2ab + a² + b² + 2ab
If 2 (a² + b²) = 2a² + 2b² = 2 (a² + b²)
Which is true
Hence proved.

Question 4.
The sum of three terms of an A.P. is 21 and the product of the first and the third terms exceeds the second term by 6, find three terms.
Solution:
Let the three terms of an A.P. be a – d, a, a + d
Sum of three terms = 21
=> a – d + a + a + d = 21
=> 3a = 21
=> a = 7
and product of the first and 3rd = 2nd term + 6
=> (a – d) (a + d) = a + 6
a² – d² = a + 6
=> (7 )² – d² = 7 + 6
=> 49 – d² = 13
=> d² = 49 – 13 = 36
=> d² = (6)²
=> d = 6
Terms are 7 – 6, 7, 7 + 6 => 1, 7, 13

Question 5.
Three numbers are in A.P. If the sum of these numbers be 27 and the product 648, find the numbers.
Solution:
Let the three numbers of an A.P. be a – d, a, a + d
According to the conditions,
Sum of these numbers = 27
a – d + a + a + d = 27
=> 3a = 27

Question 6.
Find the four numbers in A.P., whose sum is 50 and in which the greatest number is 4 times the least.
Solution:
Let the four terms of an A.P. be (a – 3d), (a – d), (a + d) and (a + 3d)
Now according to the condition,
Sum of these terms = 50
=> (a – 3d) + (a – d) + (a + d) + (a + 3d) = 50
=> a – 3d + a – d + a + d + a – 3d= 50
=> 4a = 50
=> a = \(\frac { 25 }{ 2 }\)
and greatest number = 4 x least number
=> a + 3d = 4 (a – 3d)
=> a + 3d = 4a – 12d
=> 4a – a = 3d + 12d

Question 7.
The sum of three numbers in A.P. is 12 and the sum of their cubes is 288. Find the numbers.
Solution:

Question 8.
Divide 56 in four parts in A.P. such that the ratio of the product of their extremes to the product of their means is 5 : 6. [CBSE 2016]
Solution:

Question 9.
The angles of a quadrilateral are in A.P. whose common difference is 10°. Find the angles.
Solution:
Let the four angles of a quadrilateral which are in A.P., be
a – 3d, a – d, a + d, a + 3d
Common difference = 10°
Now sum of angles of a quadrilateral = 360°
a – 3d + a – d + a + d + a + 3d = 360°
=> 4a = 360°
=> a = 90°
and common difference = (a – d) – (a – 3d) = a – d – a + 3d = 2d
2d = 10°
=> d = 5°
Angles will be
a – 3d = 90° – 3 x 5° = 90° – 15° = 75°
a – d= 90° – 5° = 85°
a + d = 90° + 5° = 95°
and a + 3d = 90° + 3 x 5° = 90° + 15°= 105°
Hence the angles of the quadrilateral will be
75°, 85°, 95° and 105°

Question 10.
Split 207 into three parts such that these are in A.P. and the product of the two smaller parts is 4623. [NCERT Exemplar]
Solution:
Let the three parts of the number 207 are (a – d), a and (a + d), which are in A.P.
Now, by given condition,
=> Sum of these parts = 207
=> a – d + a + a + d = 207
=> 3a = 207
a = 69
Given that, product of the two smaller parts = 4623
=> a (a – d) = 4623
=> 69 (69 – d) = 4623
=> 69 – d = 67
=> d = 69 – 67 = 2
So, first part = a – d = 69 – 2 = 67,
Second part = a = 69
and third part = a + d = 69 + 2 = 71
Hence, required three parts are 67, 69, 71.

∴  Radius (r₁) = \((\frac { 12 }{ 2 } )\) = 6 cm
Height (h) = 8 cm
∴ Volume = πr₁²h = π(6)² x 8 cm³
= π x 36 x 8 = 288π cm³
Now volume of metal used in spherical shell = 288π cm
External diameter = 18 cm 18
∴  External radius (R) = \((\frac { 18 }{ 2 } )\) = 9 cm
Let r be the internal radius, then
Volume of the metal = \((\frac { 4 }{ 3 } )\) π (R³ – r³ )

Outer radius (R) = 20 cm
Let h be the height of the hollow cylinder,
Then volume of metal used = πR (R² – r²)
= πh (20²- 15²) cm³
=  πh (400 – 225) cm³
= 175 πh cm³
Volume of the new cylinder = 175nh cm³
Height = h
Let R be the radius of new cylinder,
then πR²h = 175 πh
⇒ R²= 175
⇒ R = \(\sqrt { 175 } \)
= 13.2
∴ Radius = 13.2 cm

∴ Radius (r) = \((\frac { 28 }{ 2 } )\) = 14 cm
Height (h) = 72 cm
∴ Volume of water filled in it = πr²h
= \((\frac { 22 }{ 7 } )\) x 14 x 14 x 72 cm³ = 44352 cm³
∴ Volume of water in rectangular tank = 44352 cm³
Length of tank (l) = 66 cm
and breadth (b) = 28 cm
Let h₁ be its height
∴  Ibh₁ = 44352
⇒  66 x 28 h₁= 44352
⇒ h₁ = \((\frac { 44352 }{ 66×28 } )\) = 24
∴Height of water in the tank = 24 cm

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

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.

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

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

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, ………..

Question 26.
Which term of the A.P. 3, 10, 17, … will be 84 more than its 13th term ? [CBSE 2004]

Solution:

Question 28.
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 31.

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.

Solution:
The given A.P. is 7, 10, 13,…, 184
Here first term (a) = 7
and common difference (d) = 10 – 7 = 3
and last tenn (l) = 184
Let nth term from the last is a_n = l – (n – 1) d
a₈= 184 – (8 – 1) x 3 = 184 – 7 x 3 = 184 – 21 = 163

Question 34.

Solution:
The given A.P. is 8, 10, 12, …, 126
Here first term (a) = 8
Common difference (d) = 10 – 8 = 2
and last tenn (l) = 126
Now nth term from the last is a_n = l – (n – 1) d
a₁₀ = 126 – (10 – 1) x 2 = 126 – 9 x 2 = 126 – 18 = 108

Question 36.
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

and last 3-digit number = 999
d= 9
a + (n – 1) d = 999
=> 108 + (n – 1) x 9 = 999
=> (n – 1) d = 999 – 108
=> (n – 1) x 9 = 891
=> n – 1 = 99
=> n = 99 + 1 = 100
Number of terms = 100

We know that,
T_n = a + (n – 1 )d
T₅ = a + 4d => a + 4d = 31 ……(i)
and T₂₅ = a + 24d
=>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
=> a + 28 = 31

If an A.P. consists of n terms with first term a and nth term l show that the sum of the mth term from the beginning and the mth term from the end is (a + l).
Solution:
In an A.P.
Number of terms = n
First term = a
and nth term = l
mth term (a_m) = a + (m – 1) d
and mth term from the end = l – (m – 1)d
Their sum = a + (m – 1) d + l – (m – 1) d = a + l
Hence proved.

Question 51.
How many numbers lie between 10 and 300, which when divided by 4 leave a remainder 3? [NCERT Exemplar]
Solution:
Here, the first number is 11, which divided by 4 leave remainder 3 between 10 and 300.
Last term before 300 is 299, which divided by 4 leave remainder 3.
11, 15, 19, 23, …, 299
Here, first term (a) = 11,
common difference (d) = 15 – 11 = 4
nth term, a_n = a + (n – 1 ) d = l [last term]
=> 299 = 11 + (n – 1) 4
=> 299 – 11 = (n – 1) 4
=> 4(n – 1) = 288
=> (n – 1) = 72
n = 73

Question 52.
Find the 12th term from the end of the A.P. -2, -4, -6, …, -100. [NCERT Exemplar]
Solution:
Given, A.P., -2, -4, -6, …, -100
Here, first term (a) = -2,
common difference (d) = -4 – (-2)
and the last term (l) = -100.
We know that, the nth term an of an A.P. from the end is a_n = l – (n – 1 )d,
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.
