    Solution

    The given series is: 1,2,4,7,11,...
    Difference between second and first term = 2 - 1 = 1
    Difference between third and second term = 4 - 2 = 2
    Difference between fourth and third term = 7 - 4 = 3
    Difference between fifth and fourth term = 11 - 7 = 4
    Difference between sixth and fifth term = 16 - 11 = 5

  • Question 2

    The next term of the sequence, 2, 6, 12, 20, …..is

    Solution

    The given sequence is based on the following pattern:

    ∴Required number = 30.

  • Question 3
    2 / -0.83

    The next of the series 3/2 + 5/4 + 9/8 + 17/16 .....is

    Solution

  • Question 4
    2 / -0.83

    Which term of the sequence 8 –6i, 7 –4i, 6 –2i, ….is a real number ?

    Solution

    a = 8 −6i  
    d = 7 −4i −8+6i
    = −1+2i
    an = a+(n −1)d
    a+ib = 8 −6i+(n −1)(−1+2i)
    a+ib = 8 −6i+(−1)(n −1)+(n −1)2i
    = −6+2(n −1)=0
    = 2(n −1) = 6
    n = 4
    an = 8 −6i+(4 −1)(−1+2i)
    = 8 −6i −3+6i = 5
    4th term = 5

  • Question 5
    2 / -0.83

    All the terms in A.P., whose first term is a and common difference d are squared. A different series is thus formed. This series is a

    Solution

  • Question 6
    2 / -0.83

    If a, 4, b are in A.P.; a, 2, b are in G.P.; then a, 1, b are in

  • Question 7
    2 / -0.83

    The eleventh term of the sequence 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ….. is

    Solution

    The sequence is the Fibonacci series
    1+1 = 0
    1+2 = 3
    2+3 = 5
    3+5 = 8
    5+8 = 13
    8+13 = 21
    13+21 = 34
    21+34 = 55
    34+55 = 89
    The 11th term will be 89.

  • Question 8
    2 / -0.83

    In an A.P., sum of first p terms is equal to the sum of first q terms. Sum of its first p + q terms is

    Solution

    Sp = Sq
    ⇒ p/2(2a+(p −1)d) = q/2(2a+(q −1)d)
    ⇒p(2a+(p −1)d) = q(2a+(q −1)d)
    ⇒2ap + p2 d −pd = 2aq + q2 d −qd
    ⇒2a(p −q) + (p+q)(p −q)d −d(p −q) = 0
    ⇒(p −q)[2a + (p+q)d −d] = 0
    ⇒2a + (p+q)d −d = 0
    ⇒2a + ((p+q) −1)d = 0
    ⇒Sp+q = 0

  • Question 9
    2 / -0.83

    The sum of 40 A.M.’s between two number is 120. The sum of 50 A.M.’s between them is equal to

    Solution

    Let A1, A2, A3, ........ , A40 be 40 A.M 's between two numbers 'a 'and 'b '.
    Then, 
    a, A1, A2, A3, ........ , A40, b is an A.P. with common difference d  = (b - a)/(n + 1) = (b - a)/41
    [ where n = 40]
    now, A1, A2, A3, ........ , A40  = 40/2( A1 + A40)
    A1, A2, A3, ........ , A40 = 40/2(a + b)
    [ a, A1, A2, A3, ........ , A40, b is an Ap then ,a + b = A1 + A40]
    sum of 40A.M = 120(given)
    120= 20(a + b)
    =>6 = a + b ----------(1)
    Again, consider B1, B2, ........ , B50  be 50 A.M.'s between two numbers a and b.
    Then, a, B1, B2, ........ , B50, b will be in A.P. with common difference = ( b - a)/51
    now , similarly,
    B1, B2, ........ , B50 = 50/2(B1 + B2)
    = 25(6) ----------------from(1)
    = 150

  • Question 10
    2 / -0.83

    In an A.P., sum of first p terms is q and sum of first q terms is p. Sum of its p + q terms is

    Solution

    Let the first term of the given AP be ‘a 'and the common difference be ‘d '. Then, the sum of first ‘n 'terms of the AP is given by:
    Sn =  n/2 {2a+(n-1)d} …….(1)
    Here, it is given that:
    Sp = q and Sq = p
    Using (1), we get:-
    q = p/2 {2a+(p-1)d}
    and p = q/2 {2a+(q-1)d}
    i.e. 2a + (p-1)d = 2q/p …..(2)
    and 2a + (q-1)d = 2p/q …..(3)
    Subtracting (3) from (2), we get:
    (p - 1 - q + 1)d = 2q/p - 2p/q
    So, d = 2(q2 - p2)/pq(p-q)
    i.e. d = -2(p+q)/pq
    Now, substituting the value of ‘d 'in eq.n (2), we get:
    2a + (p-1){-2(p+q)/pq} = 2q/p
    i.e. 2a= 2q/p + 2(p-1)(p+q)/pq
    This gives:
    a = (p2 + q2 - p - q + pq)/pq
    So, we have
    Sp+q = (p+q)/2 { 2(p2 +q2 -p-q+pq)/pq - (p+q-1) 2 (p+q)/pq}
    i.e. Sp+q = (p+q)/pq { p2 +q2 -p-q+pq-p2 -pq-qp-q2 +p+q}
    So, Sp+q = -(p+q)

  • Question 11
    2 / -0.83

    pth term of an A.P. is q and qth term is p, its (p+ q)th term is

  • Question 12
    2 / -0.83

    pth term of an H.P. is qr and qth term is pr, then rth term of the H.P. is

    Solution

    Given pth term of HP = qr
    So pth term of AP = 1/qr
    a+(p −1)d = 1/qr....(1)
    and qth term of HP = pr
    so qth term of AP = 1/pr
    a + (q −1)d = 1/pr.....(2)
    subtracting equation 1 and 2 we get, 
    (p −q)d = (p −q)/pqr
    d = 1/pqr
    Now from equation 1, 
    a = 1/qr −(p −1)/pqr
    = (p −p+1)/pqr = 1/pqr
    So rth term of AP = a+(r −1)d = 1/pqr + (r −1)/pqr = 1/pq  
    So, rth term of HP  = pq

  • Question 13
    2 / -0.83

    The value of b for which the roots of the equation sin  x = b are in A.P. is

    Solution

  • Question 14
    2 / -0.83

    The number of numbers between n and  n2  which are divisible by n is

    Solution

    Between n &n2 , numbers divisible by n are:
    2n, 3n, 4n, ….... (n –1)n
    No. of numbers = (n –1) –2 + 1 = n –2

  • Question 15
    2 / -0.83

    The number of terms common to the Arithmetic progressions 3, 7, 11, …., 407 and 2, 9, 16, …., 709 is

    Solution

     First A.P ′s sequence is 3,7,11,....,407
    General term will be 4k+3   k ≤101
    Second A.P 's sequence is 2,9,16,....,709
    General term will be 7p+2   p ≤101
    The common terms will be 51,79,...,28m + 51
    28m + 51 ≤407
    ⟹28k ≤356
    ⟹k ≤12.71
    And adding the 2 starting number count of the 2 A.P ′s i.e. 3 &2  
    Number of common terms will be 12 + 2 = 14

  • Question 16
    2 / -0.83

  • Question 21
    2 / -0.83

    If A, G and H denote respectively, the A.M., G.M. and H.M. between two positive numbers a and b, then A - G is equal to

    Solution




    take lcm
    a+b-2 √ab
      2
    (√a - √b ) 2
        2

     

  • Question 22
    2 / -0.83

    If a, b, c, d are in H.P., then ab + bc + cd is

    Solution

     Since a,b,c are in H.P, so b = 2ac/(a+c).
    Also, b,c,d are in H.P, so c = 2bd/(b+d).
    Therefore, (a+c)(b+d) = 2ac/b ×2bd/c
    ⇒ab+cb+ad+cd = 4ad
    ⇒ab+bc+cd = 3ad

  • Question 23
    2 / -0.83

    The sum of all 2-digited numbers which leave remainder 1 when divided by 3 is

    Solution

    The 2-digit number which when divided by 3 gives remainder 1 are: 10, 13, 16, ...97
    Here a = 10, d = 13 - 10 = 3
    tn = 97
    nth term of an AP is tn = a + (n –1)d
    97 = 10 + (n –1)3
    ⇒97 = 10 + 3n –3
    ⇒97 = 7 + 3n
    ⇒3n = 97 –7 = 90
    ∴n = 90/3 = 30
    Recall sum of n terms of AP, 
    = 15[20 + 87] = 15 ×107 = 1605

  • Question 24
    2 / -0.83

    The number of numbers between 105 and 1000 which are divisible by 7 is

    Solution

    Clearly, the numbers between  105  and  1000  which are divisible by  7  are  112,119,126,...,994.

    This is an AP with first term  a=112, common difference  d=7  and last term  l = 994.
    Let there be  n  terms in this AP. Then,
    an ​= 994

    ⇒a + (n −1)d

    994 = 112 + (n −1) ×7

    994 = 105 + 7n

    ∴7n = 889

    ∴n = 127
