   Q.Which term of the A.P. $9, 14, 19, 24, 29, \ldots$ is $379$?

   (a) 80th

   (b) 78th

   (d) 60th

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Using $a_n = a + (n-1)d$ with $a=9$, $d=5$, and $a_n=379$ gives $n=75$.

   The A.P. is $9, 14, 19, 24, 29, \ldots$ with first term $a=9$ and common difference $d=14-9=5$.

   Q.What will be the sum of all natural numbers between 100 and 1000 which are divisible by 5?

   (a) 94850

   (b) 98450

   (c) 99450

   (d) 94950

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   The multiples of 5 strictly between 100 and 1000 form an A.P. from 105 to 995 with common difference 5; summing this A.P. gives $98450$.

   "Between 100 and 1000" is taken to exclude the endpoints themselves, so the sequence of multiples of 5 runs from $105$ to $995$:

   $105, 110, 115, \ldots, 995$

   (a) 42

   (b) 52

   (c) 63

   (d) 36

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Treating this as an arithmetic sequence, the common difference is 6, giving the 10th term as 52.

   Let the sequence be arithmetic with first term $a$ and common difference $d$. We're told:

   $a_7=34, \qquad a_{12}=64$

   (d) None of these

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   The odd numbers from 1 to 99 form an AP with 50 terms; their sum is $n^2$.

   The odd integers between 1 and 100 are $1, 3, 5, \dots, 99$ — an AP with first term $a=1$, common difference $d=2$. The last term is 99, so the number of terms is:

   Sum of $n$ AMs $=\frac{n}{2}(a+b)$; option (a).

   Inserting $n$ arithmetic means between $a$ and $b$ gives an AP with $n+2$ terms. The $n$ means themselves have the same average as $a$ and $b$, namely $\frac{a+b}{2}$ (NCERT Class 11 Sequences a …

    Q.If 5th term of an A.P. is 10 and 10th term is 5, then its 15th term is ............ .

    ›Reveal solutionSolution

    Solving for $a$ and $d$ from the given terms gives $a = 14$, $d = -1$, so the 15th term is $0$.

    Let the first term be $a$ and common difference $d$. The $n$th term is $a_n = a + (n-1)d$.

    5th term: $a + 4d = 10$

    10th term: $a + 9d = 5$

    Subtracting: $(a+9d) - (a+4d) = 5 - 10 \Rightarrow 5d = -5 \Rightarrow d = -1$

    Rewriting each term as a multiple of $\sqrt2$ reveals an A.P., whose 5th term is $5\sqrt2$.

    $\sqrt2 = \sqrt2$

    $\sqrt8 = \sqrt{4\times2} = 2\sqrt2$
