Important Questions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 5 Arithmetic Progressions 2


Is the 10th term from end of the A.P. 4,9, 14, …, 254., 209?

Hide | Show

જવાબ : Yes

Common difference d = 9 – 4
= 14 – 9 = 5
Given that the last term, l = 254, n = 10
nth term from the end = l – (n – 1) d
∴ 10th term from the end = 254 – (10 – 1) × 5
= 254 – 45 = 209


Find how many two-digit numbers are divisible by 6? (2011OD)

Hide | Show

જવાબ : 6
Solution:
12, 18, 24, …,96
Here,First term a = 12, common diff. d = 18 – 12 = 6, an = 96
a + (n – 1)d = an
∴ 12 + (n – 1)6 = 96
⇒ (n − 1)6 = 96 – 12 = 84
⇒ n – 1 = \frac{84}{6} = 14
⇒ n = 14 + 1 = 15
∴ There are 15 two-digit numbers divisible by 6.


How many natural numbers are there between 200 and 500, which are divisible by 7? (2011OD)

Hide | Show

જવાબ : 43
Solution:
203, 210, 217, …, 497
Here, First term a = 203, common diff. d = 210 – 203 = 7, an = 497
∴ a + (n – 1) d = an
203 + (n – 1) 7 = 497
(n – 1) 7 = 497 – 203 = 294
n – 1 = \frac{294}{7} = 42 ∴ n = 42 + 1 = 43
∴ There are 43 natural nos. between 200 and 500 which are divisible by 7.


How many two-digit numbers are divisible by 3? (2012OD)

Hide | Show

જવાબ : 30
Solution:
Two-digit numbers divisible by 3 are:
12, 15, 18, …, 99
Here, First term a = 12, common diff. d = 15 – 12 = 3, an = 99
∴ a + (n – 1)d = an
12 + (n – 1) (3) = 99
(n – 1) (3) = 99 – 12 = 87
n – 1 = \frac{87}{3} = 29
∴ n = 29 + 1 = 30
∴ There are 30 such numbers.


Are there total 128 three-digit natural numbers are divisible by 7?

Hide | Show

જવાબ : Yes
Solution:
“3 digits nos.” are 100, 101, 102, …, 999
3 digits nos. “divisible by 7” are:
105, 112, 119, 126, …, 994
first term a = 105, common diff. d = 7, an = 994, n = ?
As a + (n – 1)d = 994 = an
∴ 105 + (n – 1)7 = 994
(n − 1)7 = 994 – 105
(n – 1) = \frac{889}{7} = 127
∴ n = 127 + 1 = 128


Are there total 100 three-digit natural numbers which are divisible by 9?

Hide | Show

જવાબ : Yes
Solution:
To find: Number of terms of A.P., i.e., n.
A.P. = 108 + 117 + 126 + … + 999
a = 108
d = 117 – 108 = 9
an = 999
a + (n – 1)d = an
∴ 108 + (n – 1) 9 = 999
⇒ (n − 1) 9 = 999 – 108 = 891
⇒ (n − 1) = \frac{891}{9} = 99
∴ n = 99 + 1 = 100


Find the number of natural numbers between 101 and 999 which are divisible by both 2 and 5. (2014OD)

Hide | Show

જવાબ : 89
Solution:
Numbers divisible by both 2 and 5 are 110, 120, 130, …, 990.
Here first term a = 110, common diff. d = 120 – 110 = 10, an = 990
As a + (n – 1)d = an = 990
110 + (n – 1)(10) = 990
(n – 1)(10) = 990 – 110 = 880
(n − 1) = \frac{294}{7} = 88
∴ n = 88 + 1 = 89

A sum of ₹1,600 is to be used to give ten cash prizes to students of a school for their overall academic performance. If each prize is ₹20 less than its preceding prize, find the value of each of the prizes. (2012OD)

Hide | Show

જવાબ : Here, Sum of 10 prizes = 1600

S10 = 1600, d = -20, n = 10
Sn = \frac{n}{2} (2a + (n – 1)d]
 \frac{10}{2}[2a + (10 – 1)(-20)] = 1600
2a – 180 = 320
2a = 320 + 180 = 500
a = 250
Hence, 1st prize = a = ₹250
2nd prize = a2 = a + d = 250 + (-20) = ₹230
3rd prize = a3 = a2 + d = 230 – 20 = ₹210
4th prize = a4 = a3 + d = 210 – 20 = ₹190
5th prize = a5 = a4 + d = 190 – 20 = ₹170
6th prize = a6 = a5 + d = 170 – 20 = ₹150
7th prize = a7 = a6 + d = 150 – 20 = ₹130
8th prize = a8 = a7 + d = 130 – 20 = ₹110
9th prize = a9 = a8 + d = 110 – 20 = ₹590
10th prize = a10 = a9 + d = 90 – 20 = ₹70

In an AP of 50 terms, the sum of first 10 terms is 210 and the sum of its last 15 terms is 2565. Find the AP. (2014D)

જવાબ : Here, n = 50,
Here, S10 = 210
\frac{10}{2} (2a + 9d) = 210 ….[Sn = \frac{1}{2} [2a+(n – 1)2]
5(2a + 9d) = 210
2a + 9d = \frac{210}{5} = 42
2a = 42 – 9d a = \frac{42-9 d}{2} …(A)
Now, 50 = (1 + 2 + 3 + …) + (36 + 37 + … + 50) Sum = 2565
Sum of its last 15 terms = 2565 …[Given
S50 – S35 = 2565
\frac{50}{2}(2a + 49d) – \frac{35}{2} (2a + 34d) = 2565
100a + 2450d – 70a – 1190d = 2565 × 2
30a + 1260d = 5130
3a + 1260 = 513 …[Dividing both sides by 10

In a school, students decided to plant trees in and around the school to reduce air pollution. It was decided that the number of trees, that each section of each class will plant, will be double of the class in which they are studying. If there are 1 to 12 classes in the school and each class has two Sections, find how many trees were planted by the students. (2014OD)

Hide | Show

જવાબ : Classes: 1 + I + II + … + XII
Sections: 2(I) + 2(II) + 2(III) + … + 2(XII)
Total no. of trees
= 2 + 4 + 6 … + 24
= (2 × 2) + (2 × 4) + (2 × 6) + … + (2 × 24)
= 4 + 8 + 12 + … + 48
:: S12 = \frac{12}{2}(4 + 48) = 6(52) = 312 trees


Ramkali required ₹500 after 12 weeks to send her daughter to school. She saved ₹100 in the first week and increased her weekly saving by ₹20 every week. Find whether she will be able to send her daughter to school after 12 weeks. (2015D)

જવાબ : Money required by Ramkali for admission of her daughter = ₹2500
A.P. formed by saving
100, 120, 140, … upto 12 terms ….(A)
Let, a, d and n be the first term, common difference and number of terms respectively. Here, a = 100, d = 20, n = 12
Sn = \frac{n}{2} (2a + (n − 1)d)
S12 = \frac{12}{2} (2(100) + (12 – 1)20)
S12 = \frac{12}{2} [2(100) + 11(20)] = 6[420] = ₹2520

The sum of first m terms of an AP is 4m2 – m. If its nth term is 107, find the value of n. Also find the 21st term of this A.P. (2013D)

Hide | Show

જવાબ : We have, Sm = 4m2 – m
Put m = 1,
S1 = 4(1)2 – (1)
= 4 – 1 = 3
Put m = 2,
S2 = 4(2)2 – 2
= 16 – 2 = 14
a1 = S1 = 3 = a
a2 = S2 – S1 = 14 – 3 = 11
d = a2 – a1
d = 11 – 3 = 8
an = a + (n – 1)d = 107 …[Given in the ques.
3+ (n – 1)8 = 107
(n – 1)8 = 107 – 3 = 104
(n – 1) = \frac{104}{8} = 13
n = 13 + 1 = 14
a21 = a + 20d
= 3 + (20)8
= 3 + 160 = 163


The sum of first g terms of an A.P. is 63q – 3q2. If its pth term is -60, find the value of p. Also find the 11th term of this A.P. (2013D)

Hide | Show

જવાબ : We have, Sq = 63q – 3q2
Put q = 1 in the equation
S7 = 63(1) – 3(1)2
= 63 – 3 = 60
Put q = 2 in the equation
S2 = 63(2) – 3(2)2
= 126 – 12 = 114
a = a1 = S1 = 60
a2 = S2 – S71 = 114 – 60 = 54
d = a2 – a1 = 54 – 60 = -6
pth term = -60
a + (p – 1)d = -60
60 + (p – 1)(-6) = -60
(p – 1)(-6) = -60 – 60 = -120
(p – 1) = \frac{-120}{-6} = 20
p= 20 + 1 = 21
a11 = a + 10d
= 60 + 10(-6)
= 60 – 60 = 0
