Exercise 6.1:

Question 1:
In which of tine following situations, does the list of numbers involved make an arithmetic progression, and why?

1. The taxi fare after each km when the fare is 20 for the first km and rises by  8 for each additional km.
2. The amount of air present in a cylinder when a vacuum pump removes 1/4 of tine air remaining in the cylinder at a time.
3. The cost of digging a well, after every metre of digging, when it costs 150 for the first metre and rises by’ 50 for each subsequent metre.
4. The amount of money in the account every year, when ‘10000 is deposited at compound interest at 8 % per annum.

Solution :

1. Arithmetic progression. Since rise in the taxi fair for each additional kilometer is same.
2. Not Arithmetic progression. Since the amount of air removed using vacuum pump is not same always, it’s in the ratio of the air remaining in the cylinder.
3. Arithmetic progression. Since rise in the cost of digging the well fair for each subsequent metre is same.
4. Not Arithmetic progression. The amount of money in the account every year is increasing by applying compound interest on the deposit. In compound interest the interest gets added to the principle deposit for the next cycle, so every year the amount of money in the account is not same.

3.  a = 4, d = – 3
4.  a = – 1, d = 1/2
5.  a = – 1.25, d = – 0.25

Solution :

1. The nth term of an AP having first term a and common difference d is given by
   a_n = a + (n – 1)d
   a₁ = 10 + (1 – 1)10 = 10
   a₂ = 10 + (2 – 1)10 = 20
   a₃ = 10 + (3 – 1)10 = 30
   a₄ = 10 + (4 – 1)10 = 40
2. The nth term of an AP having first term a and common difference d is given by
   a_n = a + (n -1)d
   a₁ = -2 + (1 – 1)0 = -2
   a₂ = -2 + (2 – 1)0 = -2
   a₃ = -2 + (3 – 1)0 = -2
   a₄ = -2 + (4 – 1)0 = -2
3. The nth term of an AP having first term a and common difference d is given by
   a_n = a + (n – 1)d
   a₁ = 4 + (1 – 1)(-3) = 4
   a₂ = 4 + (2 – 1)(-3) = 1
   a₃ = 4 + (3 – 1)(-3) = -2
   a₄ = 4 + (4 – 1)( -3) = -5
4. The nth term of an AP having first term a and common difference d is given by
   a_n = a + (n – 1)d
   
5. The nth term of an AP having first term a and common difference d is given by
   a_n = a + (n – 1)d
   a₁ = -1.25 + (1 – 1)(-0.25) = -1.25
   a₂ = -1 + (2 – 1)(-0.25) = -1.5
   a₃ = -1 + (3 – 1)(-0.25) = -1.75
   a₄ = -1 + (4 – 1)(-0.25) = -2

3. \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 } ,\frac { 5 }{ 3 } ,\frac { 9 }{ 3 } ,\frac { 13 }{ 3 },\)…….
4. 0.6, 1.7, 2.8, 3.9,………..

Solution :
For an AP having the terms a₁, a₂, a₃,…
The first term a is given by,
a = a₁
The common difference d is given by,
d = a_k+1 – a_k

Question 4:
Which of the following are APs ? If they form an AP, find the common difference d and write three more terms.

Solution :

• We have,
  a₂ – a₁ = 4 – 2 = 2
  a₃ – a₂= 8 – 4 = 4
  As a₂ – a₁ ¹ a₃ – a₂, the given list of numbers do not form an AP.
• We have,

• We have,
  a₂ – a₁ = -3.2 + 1.2 = -2
  a₃ – a₂ = -5.2 + 3.2 = -2
  i.e., the term a_k+1 – a_k remains same every time.
  So, the given list of numbers forms an AP with the common difference d = -2.
  The next three terms are -9.2, -11.2, -13.2.
• We have,
  a₂ – a₁ = -6 + 10 = 4
  a₃ – a₂ = -2 + 6 = 4
  i.e., the term a_k+1 – a_k remains same every time.
  So, the given list of numbers forms an AP with the common difference d = 4.
  The next three terms are 6, 10, 14.
• We have,

• We have,
  a₂ – a₁ = 0.22 – 0.2 = 0.02
  a₃ – a₂ = 0.222 – 0.22 = 0.002
  As a₂ – a₁ ¹ a₃ – a₂, the given list of numbers do not form an AP.
• We have,

• We have,
  

• We have a₂ – a₁ = 3 – 1 = 2
  a₃ – a₂ = 9 – 3 = 6
  As a₂ – a₁  ¹ a₃ – a₂, the given list of numbers do not form an AP.
• We have a₂ – a₁ = 2a – a = a
  a₃ – a₂ = 3a – 2a = a
  i.e., the term a_k+1 – a_k remains same every time.
  So, the given list of numbers forms an AP with the common difference d = a.
  The next three terms are 5a, 6a, 7a.
• We have a₂ – a₁ = a² – a
  a₃ – a₂ = a³ – a²
  As a₂ – a₁ ¹ a₃ – a₂, the given list of numbers do not form an AP.
• We have,
  

• We have,
  

Exercise 6.2:

Question 1:
Fill in the blanks in the following table, given that a is the first term, d the common difference and a_n the nth term of the AP:


Solution :

Therefore, the number of terms n of the given A.P. is 10.
v. Here , a = 3.5, d = 0 and n = 105
We have a_n = a + (n – 1)d
So, a₁₀₅ = 3.5 + (105 – 1)(0) = 3.5 + 0 = 3.5.
Therefore, the n^th term a_n of the given A.P. is 3.5.

Sr. No	a	d	n	an
1	7	3	8	28
2	-18	2	10	0
3	46	-3	18	-5
4	-18.9	2.5	10	3.6
5	3.5	0	105	3.5

 

Question 2:
Find the

1. 30^th term of the A.P. 10, 7, 4…….
2. 11^th term of the A.P. : \(-3,\frac { -1 }{ 2 } ,2,\)……..

Solution :
i. Here , a = 10, d = 7 – 10 = -3 and n = 30
We have a_n = a + (n – 1)d
So, a₃₀ = 10 + (30 – 1)(-3) = 10 – 87 = -77.
Therefore, the 30^th term of the given A.P. is -77.

Question 3:
Find the respective terms for the following APs.

Solution :

• Since the terms are in A.P., so,
  a₃ – a₂ = a₂ – a₁
  a₃ – a₂ – a₂ + a₁ = 0
  a₃ – 2a₂ + a₁ = 0
  a₃ + a₁ = 2a₂
  26 + 2 = 2a₂
  28 = 2a₂
  a₂ = 14
• Since the terms are in A.P., so,
  a₄ – a₃ = a₃ – a₂
  a₄ – a₃ – a₃ + a₂ = 0
  a₄ – 2a₃ + a₂ = 0
  a₄ + a₂ = 2a₃
  13 + 3 = 2a₃
  16 = 2a₃
  a₃ = 8
  so, a₂ – a₁ = a₃ – a₂
   a₂ – a₁ – a₃ + a₂ = 0
  2a₂ – a₃ = a₁
    26 – 8 = a₁
  a₁ = 18
• a₁ = a = 5
  

Question 4:
Which term of the AP : 3, 8, 13, 18,……,is 78?
Solution :
Here, a=3, d=8-3=5, and if a_n=78, we have to find n.
As, a_n=a+(n-1)d
78=3+(n-1)5
78=3+5n-5
83=3+5n
80=5n
n = 16
Therefore, the 16^th term of the given A.P. is 78.

Question 5:
Find the number of terms in each of the following APs :
(i) 7, 13, 19,… ,205
(ii) \(18,\quad 15\frac { 1 }{ 2 } ,13,\)……..,-47
Solution :
i. Here a=7, d=13-7=6 , and if a_n=205
As a_n=a+(n-1)d
205=7+(n-1)6
205=7+6n-6
205=1+6n
204=6n
n=34

Question 6:
Check whether, -150 is a term of the AP: 11,8,5,2…
Solution :
We have:
a₂-a₁=8-11=-3, a₃-a₂=5-8=-3
As (a_k+1-a_k) is the same for k=1, 2, etc, the given list of numbers is an A.P.
Now, for this A.P. we have a = 11 and d = -3.
Let the n^th term of this AP be -150.

We know,
a_n=_­a+(n-1)d
-150=11+(n-1)(-3)
-150=11-3n+3
-150=14-3n
-164=-3n
n=164 ⁄ 3
But n should be a positive integer.
Hence, -150 is not a term of the given list of numbers.

Question 7:
Find the 31^st term of an AP whose 11^th term is 38 and the 16^th term is 73.
Solution :
We have,
a₁₁=a+(11-1)d=a+10d=38 (1)
a₁₆=a+(16-1)d=a+15d=73 (2)
Solving equation (1) and (2), we get
a= -32 and d=7
Hence, the 31^st term will be,
a₃₁=a+(n-1)d
=-32+(31-1)7
=-32+(30)7
=-32+210
=178
Therefore the 31^st term of the A.P. is 178.

Question 8:
If the 3 ^rd and the 9^th terms of an AP are 4 and – 8 respectively, which term of this AP is zero?
Solution :
a₃=a+(n-1)d
4=a+(3-1)d
4=a+2d (1)
a₉=a+(n-1)d
-8=a+(9-1)d
-8=a+8d (2)
Solving (1) and (2), we get
a = 8 and d=-2
We want to know if there is any n for which a_n=0.
a_n=_­a+(n-1)d
0=8+(n-1)(-2)
0=10-2n
n=5

Question 9:
The 17^th term of an AP exceeds its 10^th term by 7. Find the common difference.
Solution :
Let the first term of the A.P. be ‘a’, 17^th term be ‘a₁₇‘,
10^th term be ‘a₁₀‘, and common difference be ‘d’.
a₁₇=a+16d—–(1)
a₁₀=a+9d——-(2)
Subtracting (2) from (1)
a₁₇-a₁₀=a+16d-(a+9d)
7=a+16d-a-9d
7=7d
d=1
Thus, the common difference of the given A.P. is 1.

Question 10:
Two APs have the same common difference. The difference between their 100th terms is 100, what is the difference between their 1000th terms?
Solution :
Let the first term of the AP1 be ‘a1’, 100^th term be ‘a1₁₀₀‘, and 1000^th term be ‘a1₁₀₀₀‘.
Let the first term of the AP2 be ‘a2’, 100^th term be ‘a2₁₀₀‘, 1000^th term be ‘a2₁₀₀₀‘,
Let the common difference be ‘d’, as it is same for both the APs.
a1₁₀₀=a1+99d—–(1)
a2₁₀₀=a2+99d—–(2)
Subtract (2) from (1)
a1₁₀₀-a2₁₀₀=a1+99d-a2-99d
a1₁₀₀-a2₁₀₀=a1-a2—–(3)
But,
a1₁₀₀-a2₁₀₀=100 ……..( Given)
Therefore,
a1-a2=100——(3)
Now,
a1₁₀₀₀=a1+999d—–(4)
a2₁₀₀₀=a2+999d—–(5)
Subtract (5) from (4)
a1₁₀₀₀-a2₁₀₀₀=a1+999d-a2-999d
a1₁₀₀₀-a2₁₀₀₀=a1-a2
But ,
a1-a2=100 ………..( from (3))
Therefore,
a1₁₀₀₀-a2₁₀₀₀=100
Thus the difference between the 1000^thterm of both the APs is also 100, as proved above.

Question 11:
Flow many three-digit numbers are divisible by 7?
Solution :
Three digit numbers which are divisible by 7 are:
105, 112, ………..994
So, a=105, d=112-115=7, a_n=994
a_n=a+(n-1)d
994=105+(n-1)7
994=105+7n-7
994-98=7n
896=7n
n=128
There are 128 three digit numbers divisible by 7.

Question 12:
Flow many multiples of 4 lie between 10 and 250?
Solution :
The multiples of 4 which lie between 10 and 250 are,
12, 16, 20, 24, 28……….248
So, a=12, d=16-12=4 and a_n =248
a_n=a+(n-1)d
a_n=12+(n-1)4
248 =12+4n-4
248=8+4n
240=4n
n=6.

Question 13:
For what value of n, are the nth terms of two APs: 63, 65, 67,… and 3, 10, 17,… equal?
Solution :
For the first A.P., 63, 65, 67….
The first term a₁=63 and d_a=65-63=2
a_n= a₁+(n-1) d_a
For the second A.P., 3, 10, 17….
The first term b₁=3 and d_b=10-3=7
b_n= b₁+(n-1) d_b
Let the n^th term of A.P1 and A.P2 be equal.
a_n= b_n
a₁+(n-1) d_a= b₁+(n-1) d_b
63+(n-1)2=3+(n-1)7
60=(n-1)5
n-1=12
n=13
So, the 13^th term of A.P1 and A.P2 are equal.

Question 14:
Determine the AP whose third term is 16 and the 7^th term exceeds the 5^th term by 12.
Solution :
Let the first term of the A.P. be ‘a’ and the common difference be ‘d’.
The third term of the A.P. is 16.
a₃= a+(3-1) d
16=a+2d…..(i)
The 7^th term exceeds the 5^th term by 12.
a₇-a₅=12
a+(7-1)d-[ a+(5-1)d]=12
a+6d-a-4d=12
2d=12
d=6
Substitute d=6 in equation (i)
16=a+2(6)
a=4
a₁=a=4
a₂=a+(n-1)d=4+(2-1) (6) =4+6=10
a₃= 16
Hence the A.P. is 4, 10, 16,….

Question 15:
Find the 20^th term from the end of the AP : 3, 8,13,…, 253.
Solution :
Let the first term of the A.P. be ‘a’ and the common difference be ‘d’.
a=3, d=8-3=5 and a_n=253
The n^th term of the A.P. is given by,
a_n= a+(n-1) d
253= 3+(n-1)5
250=(n-1)5
n-1=50
n=51
The 20^th term from the end of the A.P. is the 32^th term from the top of the A.P., given by,
a₃₁= a+(32-1) d
a₃₁= 3+(32-1)5
a₃₁=3+155
a₃₁= 158

Question 16:
The sum of the 4 and 8 terms of an AP is 24 and the sum of the 6 and 10 terms is 44. Find the first three terms of the AP.
Solution :
Let the first term of the A.P. be ‘a’ and the common difference be ‘d’.
The sum of the 4^th and 8^th terms of the A.P. is 24,
a₄ + a₈ =24
a+(4-1)d+a+(8-1)d =24
2a+10d=24
a+5d=12…………(i)
The sum of the 6^th and 10^th term of the A.P. is 44,
a₆ + a₁₀ =44
a+(6-1)d+a+(10-1)d =44
2a+14d=44
a+7d=22…………(ii)
Subtracting equation (i) from (ii) we get
2d=10
d=5
Substituting d=5 in equation (i) we get
a+5(5)=12
a=-13
The first three terms of the A.P. are given by,
a₁= a=-13
a₂= -13+(2-1)5=-8
a₃=-13+(3-1)5=-3

Question 17:
Subba Rao started work in 1995 at an annual salary’ of’ 5000 and received an increment of’ 200 each year. In which year did his salary reach 7000?
Solution :
Subba Rao started work in 1995 at an annual salary of Rs. 5000 and received an increment of Rs. 200 each year.
So the annual salary from 1995 onwards is
5000, 5200, 5400,……
Let the first term of the A.P. be ‘a₁‘ and the common difference be ‘d’.
a₁ = 5000, d = 200
To find the value of n for which a_n = 7000
The n^th term of the A.P. is given by
a_n= a₁+(n-1) d
7000= 5000+(n-1) 200
2000= (n-1) 200
n-1=10
n=11
In the year 2005, Subba Rao’s income reaches Rs. 7000.

Solution :

Question 11:
In a school, students thought of planting 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 the same as the class, in which they are studying, e.g., a section of Class I will plant 1 tree, a section of Class II will plant 2 trees and so on till Class XII. There are three sections of each class. How many trees will be planted by the students?
Solution :
Initially, just considering one section per class,
if each class plants the same number of trees as the level/standard/grade of it, then the trees planted by successive classes can be considered to be an A.P. with a = 1(since class starts with Std I) and d = 1.
Since there are 12 classes,
Therefore,
a₁₂ = a + 11d
a₁₂ = 1 + 11(1)
a₁₂ = 12———-(1)
Sum of trees planted by one section of each class is given as,
S₁₂ = 6 (a + a₁₂)
S₁₂ = (6)(1 + 12)
S₁₂ = 78———-(2)
Therefore, when 3 sections per class are considered, then the total number of trees are,
3xS₁₂=3×78=234
Hence, the total numbers of trees planted by the children is 234.
