Find the 31st term of an A.P. whose 11th term is 38 and the 16th term is 73.
Hide | Show
જવાબ : Given that,
11th term, a11 = 38 and 16th term, a16 = 73 We know that, an = a+(n−1)d a11 = a+(11−1)d 38 = a+10d ………………………………. (i) In the same way, a16 = a +(16−1)d 73 = a+15d ………………………………………… (ii) On subtracting equation (i) from (ii), we get 35 = 5d d = 7 From equation (i), we can write, 38 = a+10×(7) 38 − 70 = a a = −32 a31 = a +(31−1) d = − 32 + 30 (7) = − 32 + 210 = 178 Hence, 31st term is 178.An A.P. consists of 50 terms of which 3rd term is 12 and the last term is 106.

(ii) On subtracting equation (i) from (ii), we get 94 = 47d d = 2 = common difference From equation (i), we can write now, 12 = a+2(2) a = 12−4 = 8 a29 = a+(29−1) d a29 = 8+(28)2 a29 = 8+56 = 64 Therefore, 29th term is 64.Determine the A.P. whose third term is 16 and the 7th term exceeds the 5th term by 12.
Hide | Show
જવાબ : Given,
Third term, a3 = 16 As we know, a +(3−1)d = 16 a+2d = 16 ………………………………………. (i) It is given that, 7th term exceeds the 5th term by 12. a7 − a5 = 12 [a+(7−1)d]−[a +(5−1)d]= 12 (a+6d)−(a+4d) = 12 2d = 12 d = 6 From equation (i), we get, a+2(6) = 16 a+12 = 16 a = 4 Therefore, A.P. will be4, 10, 16, 22, …For what value of n, are the nth terms of two APs 63, 65, 67, and 3, 10, 17, … equal?
Hide | Show
જવાબ : Given two APs as; 63, 65, 67,… and 3, 10, 17,….
Taking first AP, 63, 65, 67, … First term, a = 63 Common difference, d = a2−a1 = 65−63 = 2 We know, nth term of this A.P. = an = a+(n−1)d an= 63+(n−1)2 = 63+2n−2 an = 61+2n ………………………………………. (i) Taking second AP, 3, 10, 17, … First term, a = 3 Common difference, d = a2 − a1 = 10 − 3 = 7 We know that, nth term of this A.P. = 3+(n−1)7 an = 3+7n−7 an = 7n−4 ……………………………………………………….. (ii) Given, nth term of these A.P.s are equal to each other. Equating both these equations, we get, 61+2n = 7n−4 61+4 = 5n 5n = 65 n = 13 Therefore, 13th terms of both these A.P.s are equal to each other.How many multiples of 4 lie between 10 and 250?
Hide | Show
જવાબ : The first multiple of 4 that is greater than 10 is 12.
Next multiple will be 16. Therefore, the series formed as; 12, 16, 20, 24, … All these are divisible by 4 and thus, all these are terms of an A.P. with first term as 12 and common difference as 4. When we divide 250 by 4, the remainder will be 2. Therefore, 250 − 2 = 248 is divisible by 4. The series is as follows, now; 12, 16, 20, 24, …, 248 Let 248 be the nth term of this A.P. first term, a = 12 common difference, d = 4 an = 248 As we know, an = a+(n−1)d 248 = 12+(n-1)×4 236/4 = n-1 59 = n-1 n = 60 Therefore, there are 60 multiples of 4 between 10 and 250.How many three-digit numbers are divisible by 7?
Hide | Show
જવાબ : First three-digit number that is divisible by 7 are;
First number = 105 Second number = 105+7 = 112 Third number = 112+7 =119 Therefore, 105, 112, 119, … All are three digit numbers are divisible by 7 and thus, all these are terms of an A.P. having first term as 105 and common difference as 7. As we know, the largest possible three-digit number is 999. When we divide 999 by 7, the remainder will be 5. Therefore, 999-5 = 994 is the maximum possible three-digit number that is divisible by 7. Now the series is as follows. 105, 112, 119, …, 994 Let 994 be the nth term of this A.P. first term, a = 105 common difference, d = 7 an = 994 n = ? As we know, an = a+(n−1)d 994 = 105+(n−1)7 889 = (n−1)7 (n−1) = 127 n = 128 Therefore, 128 three-digit numbers are divisible by 7.Two APs have the same common difference. The difference between their 100th term is 100, what is the difference between their 1000th terms?
Hide | Show
જવાબ : Let, the first term of two APs be a1 and a2 respectively
And the common difference of these APs be d. For the first A.P.,we know, an = a+(n−1)d Therefore, a100 = a1+(100−1)d = a1 + 99d a1000 = a1+(1000−1)d a1000 = a1+999d For second A.P., we know, an = a+(n−1)d Therefore, a100 = a2+(100−1)d = a2+99d a1000 = a2+(1000−1)d = a2+999d Given that, difference between 100th term of the two APs = 100 Therefore, (a1+99d) − (a2+99d) = 100 a1−a2 = 100……………………………………………………………….. (i) Difference between 1000th terms of the two APs (a1+999d) − (a2+999d) = a1−a2 From equation (i), This difference, a1−a2 = 100 Hence, the difference between 1000th terms of the two A.P. will be 100.Which term of the A.P. 3, 15, 27, 39, will be 132 more than its 54th term?
Hide | Show
જવાબ : Given A.P. is 3, 15, 27, 39,
First term, a = 3 Common difference, d = a2 − a1 = 15 − 3 = 12 We know that, an = a+(n−1)d Therefore, a54 = a+(54−1)d ⇒3+(53)(12) ⇒3+636 = 639 a54 = 639 We have to find the term of this A.P. which is 132 more than a54, i.e.771. Let nth term be 771. an = a+(n−1)d 771 = 3+(n −1)12 768 = (n−1)12 (n −1) = 64 n = 65 Therefore, 65th term was 132 more than 54th term. Or another method is; Let nth term be 132 more than 54th term. n = 54 + 132/2 = 54 + 11 = 65th termIf 17th term of an A.P. exceeds its 10th term by 7. Find the common difference.
Hide | Show
જવાબ : We know that, for an A.P series;
an = a+(n−1)d a17 = a+(17−1)d a17 = a +16d In the same way, a10 = a+9d As it is given in the question, a17 − a10 = 7 Therefore, (a +16d)−(a+9d) = 7 7d = 7 d = 1 Therefore, the common difference is 1.If the 3rd and the 9th terms of an A.P. are 4 and − 8 respectively. Which term of this A.P. is zero.

જવાબ : Given that,
3rd term, a3 = 4 and 9th term, a9 = −8 We know that, an = a+(n−1)d Therefore, a3 = a+(3−1)d 4 = a+2d ……………………………………… (i) a9 = a+(9−1)d −8 = a+8d ………………………………………………… (ii) On subtracting equation (i) from (ii), we will get here, −12 = 6d d = −2 From equation (i), we can write, 4 = a+2(−2) 4 = a−4 a = 8 Let nth term of this A.P. be zero. an = a+(n−1)d 0 = 8+(n−1)(−2) 0 = 8−2n+2 2n = 10 n = 5 Hence, 5th term of this A.P. is 0.Find the 20th term from the last term of the A.P. 3, 8, 13, …, 253.
Hide | Show
જવાબ : Given A.P. is3, 8, 13, …, 253
Common difference, d= 5. Therefore, we can write the given AP in reverse order as; 253, 248, 243, …, 13, 8, 5 Now for the new AP, first term, a = 253 and common difference, d = 248 − 253 = −5 n = 20 Therefore, using nth term formula, we get, a20 = a+(20−1)d a20 = 253+(19)(−5) a20 = 253−95 a = 158 Therefore, 20th term from the last term of the AP 3, 8, 13, …, 253.is 158.The sum of 4th and 8th terms of an A.P. is 24 and the sum of the 6th and 10th terms is 44. Find the first three terms of the A.P.

જવાબ : We know that, the nth term of the AP is;
an = a+(n−1)d a4 = a+(4−1)d a4 = a+3d In the same way, we can write, a8 = a+7d a6 = a+5d a10 = a+9d Given that, a4+a8 = 24 a+3d+a+7d = 24 2a+10d = 24 a+5d = 12 …………………………………………………… (i) a6+a10 = 44 a +5d+a+9d = 44 2a+14d = 44 a+7d = 22 …………………………………….. (ii) On subtracting equation (i) from (ii), we get, 2d = 22 − 12 2d = 10 d = 5 From equation (i), we get, a+5d = 12 a+5(5) = 12 a+25 = 12 a = −13 a2 = a+d = − 13+5 = −8 a3 = a2+d = − 8+5 = −3 Therefore, the first three terms of this A.P. are −13, −8, and −3.Subba Rao started work in 1995 at an annual salary of Rs 5000 and received an increment of Rs 200 each year. In which year did his income reach Rs 7000?
Hide | Show
જવાબ : It can be seen from the given question, that the incomes of Subba Rao increases every year by Rs.200 and hence, forms an AP.
Therefore, after 1995, the salaries of each year are; 5000, 5200, 5400, … Here, first term, a = 5000 and common difference, d = 200 Let after nth year, his salary be Rs 7000. Therefore, by the nth term formula of AP, an = a+(n−1) d 7000 = 5000+(n−1)200 200(n−1)= 2000 (n−1) = 10 n = 11 Therefore, in 11th year, his salary will be Rs 7000.Ramkali saved Rs 5 in the first week of a year and then increased her weekly saving by Rs 1.75. If in the nth week, her weekly savings become Rs 20.75, find n.
Hide | Show
જવાબ : Given that, Ramkali saved Rs.5 in first week and then started saving each week by Rs.1.75.
Hence, First term, a = 5 and common difference, d = 1.75 Also given, an = 20.75 Find, n = ? As we know, by the nth term formula, an = a+(n−1)d Therefore, 20.75 = 5+(n -1)×1.75 15.75 = (n -1)×1.75 (n -1) = 15.75/1.75 = 1575/175 = 63/7 = 9 n -1 = 9 n = 10 Hence, n is 10.A thief runs with a uniform speed of 100 m/minute.
