Exercise 9.2
Q1. Find the sum of odd integers from 1 to 2001.
Ans. The series of odd integers from 1 to 2001 is an AP with common difference 2.
1 + 3 + 5 +………2001
From the series , we have
First-term of AP,a = 1, Common difference of AP,d = 2, Final term of the AP,an= 2001
Applying the formula for the sum of an AP
Where, Sn= Sum of the series, Here we don’t have the value of n, so first calculating the value of n from the formula for the n the term(an)
an= a + (n -1) d
Putting the values of a,d and an
2001 = 1 + (n -1)2 = 1 + 2n -2 = 2n -1
2n = 2002
n = 1001
Hence, the sum of the integers from 1 to 2001 is = 1002001
Q2.Find the sum of all natural numbers lying between 100 and 1000. which are multiple of 5.
Ans.The natural numbers between 100 and 1000 divisible by 5 is a series of AP, written as bellow
105 + 110 + 115 +……..995
Where, first term, a = 105, common difference, d = 5 and n th term, an=995
Finding the value of n from the following formula
an= a + (n -1)d
995 = 105 + (n -1)5
5n – 5 + 105 = 995
5n = 995 -100 = 895
n = 179
Now applying the following formula for sum of the AP
Substituting the value of terms we know
= 179 × 550 = 98450
Hence the required sum of the given AP is =98450
Q3. In an AP, the first term is 2 and the sum of the first five terms is one-fourth of the next five terms. Show that 20 th term is -112.
Ans.Let the common difference of the given AP is = d,First term of the given AP is , a = 2
Therefore AP is written as , 2, 2 + d, 2 + 2d, 2 + 3d……..
Considering the first 5 terms and next 5 terms, total terms =10
The sum of first 5 terms = 2× 5 +(d +2d+3d+4d)= 10 +10d
The sum of next 5 terms =2×5 + (5d +6d +7d+8d+9d) =10 +35d
According to question
10 +10d = 1/4(10 + 35d)
10 + 10 d = 10/4 + 35d/4
10d -35d/4 = 10/4 -10
(40d -35d)/4 = (10 -40)/4
5d = -30
d = -6
Therefore 20 the term = a +(n-1)d = 2 + (20 -1)(-6) = 2 -114 =-112
Q4.How many terms of the A.P.-6 ,-11/2 , -5 ,… are needed to give the sum -25?
Ans.The given AP -6, -11/2, -5……
Let there are n number of terms to give sum of -25,where first term,a = -6, common difference,d = -11/2+6 =1/12
Where Sn = -25
Putting the values of a, d and of Sn
n(n -25) = -100
n² – 25n +100 = 0
n² – 20n – 5n +100 =0
n(n – 20) – 5(n – 20) = 0
(n – 20)(n – 5) = 0
n = 20, 5
Therefore number of terms of the series to give the sum -25 either are 20 or 5.
Q5.In an A.P., if pth term is 1/q and qth term is 1/p, prove that the sum of first pq terms is 1/2(pq + 1), where p ≠ q.
Ans.The n the term of AP is given as following
an= a + (n -1) d
where a is the first term and d is the common difference of AP
We are given
pth term= 1/q
qth term = 1/p
Subtracting equation (ii) from (i)
Putting the value of d in equation (i)
Now, applying the following formula for the sum of n the term of AP
Putting the value a = d =1/pq and n = pq
Therefore the sum of pq terms of the series is 1/2(pq +1)
Q6.If a sum of a certain number of terms of the A.P.25, 22, 19, …is 116. Find the last term?
Ans.The sum of the given series is A.P.25, 22, 19, …is 116
a = 25, d = 22-25 = -3 and Sn= 116
232 = n(50 -3n+3)
50n -3n² +3n -232= 0
-3n² + 53n -232 = 0
3n² – 53n + 232 = 0
3n² -24n – 29n + 232 = 0
3n(n – 8) – 29(n -8) =0
(n – 8)(3n – 29) =0
n = 8, n = 29/3
n can not equal to 29/3 since it is not a natural number,so neglecting this value of n
Therefore n = 8
Now the last term of the series is
an= a + (n-1)⇒a5 a= 25 +(8-1)(-3) = 25-21 = 4
Hence the last term of the given series is =4
Q7.Find the sum to n terms of the A.P.,whose Kth term is 5K + 1.
Ans. We are given the Kth term is 5K + 1
ak= 5K + 1
Substituting k=1,2,3….etc we get the first, second, third and other terms of the AP
a1= 5×1 + 1= 6,
a2= 5×2+ 1 =11
a3= 5×3+ 1 =16
…..and so on
Hence , the AP is 6,11,16………
Where a = 6, d= 11 -6 = 5
Applying the formula used for sum of n the of an AP
Substituting the values of a and d
Therefore the sum of the n the term of AP is n/2(5n +7)
Q8.If the sum of n terms of an A.P. is (pn +qn²), where p and q are constants, find the common difference.
Ans. We are given the sum of n terms of an AP= pn +qn²
Sn = pn + qn²
Substituting n=1,2,3…we get the sum of the 1 term,2 terms,3 terms etc.
S1 = p×1 + q×1² =p + q, sum of 1 term =first term=p +q
S2 = p×2 + q×2² =2p +4q, second term =sum of 2 terms – first term=2p+4q -p-q=p+3q
Hence the AP is p+q,p+3q,……
Therefore the common difference of AP = (p+3q) -(p +q) =2q
Q9.The sum of n terms of two arithmetic progressions are in the ratio 5n + 4 : 9n + 6. Find the ratio of their 18th terms.
Ans. We are given the ratio of two arithmetic progression
= 5n + 4 : 9n + 6
Let the first terms of both of the AP are a and a’and common differences are d and d’
The ratio of the sum of their n terms is given as follows
Writing the LHS of the above equation in the form of a +(n -1)d
…….(i)
The ratio between 18 th terms of both AP is
Comparing both sides
We have treated LHS of (i) as the ratio of n th terms of the series,so putting n =35 in RHS of (i) we get the required ratio
Therefore the ratio between 18 th term of both AP is 179 : 321
Q10.If the sum of first p terms of an A.P. is equal to the sum of the first q terms, then find the sum of the first (p + q) terms.
Ans.Let the first term of the AP is a and common difference is d
We are given
Sum of first p terms = Sum of first q terms
2ap +p²d -pd = 2aq +q²d -qd
2a(p-q) +(p² -q²)d-(p -q)d = 0
2a(p-q) +(p -q)(p+q)d-(p -q)d = 0
2a + d(p+q -1) = 0
The sum of first (p + q) terms is given as
Putting the value of d
Therefore the sum of first (p+q) term is 0
Q11. Sum of the first p,q and r terms of an AP are a,b and c respectively .Prove that
Ans. We are given sum of the first p,q and r terms of an AP are a,b and c respectively
Therefore
The sum of q terms = b
The sum of r terms = c
Multiplying (i) by (q-r), (ii) by (r-p) and (iii) by (p -q) and then adding all three equations
= 0 +0 = 0
Hence proved
Q12.The ratio of the sums of the m and n terms of an AP is m² : n² .Show that the ratio of m th and n th term is (2m -1) : (2n -1)
Ans.We are given
Putting m = p and n = q in above equation
Treating denominator and numerator of LHS as a n th and m th term
…..(i)
The ratio of m th term and n th term is
…(ii)
Comparing (i) and (ii)
Putting the value of p 2m -1 and q= 2n -1 in RHS of equation (i)
Therefore the ratio between m th and n th terms is 2m -1 : 2n -1
Q13.If sum of n terms of an AP is 3n² +5n and its m th term is 164.Find the value of m.
Ans. We are given the sum of n terms
Sn = 3n² +5n
Substituting the value of n =1,2,3.. we get the sum of 1 terms, 2 terms, 3 terms..etc
S1 = 3×1² +5×1 = 3 +5 = 8, sum of 1 terms = First term of AP
S2 = 3×2² +5×2 = 12 + 10 = 22, Second term = Sum of two term – first term =22-8 =14
Therefore AP is 8,14,20……
d = 14 – 8 = 6
We are given
m the term = 164
8 + (m -1)6 = 164
8 + 6m -6 = 164
6m = 162
m = 27
Hence, the value of m is 27
Q14. Insert five numbers between 8 and 26 such that resulting sequence is an AP.
Ans. Let 5 numbers inserted between 8 and 26 are A1 , A2, A3, A4 and A5
The sequence including 5 inserted numbers is
8 A1 , A2, A3, A4 ,A5 26
Where n = 7, 7 th term = 26, a = 8
So, an = a + (n -1)d
26 = 8 + 6d
6d =18
d = 3
Therefore
A1= a +d = 8 +3 = 11, A2= 8 + 2d = 8 +6 =14, A3= 14 + d= 14 +3= 17,A4=17+3=20,A5=20+3 = 23
Hence, the 5 inserted numbers are 11, 14, 17,20 and 23
Ans. The AM of a and b is = (a +b)/2
According to question, we have
2an+ 2bn = an+ b.an-1+ a.bn-1+bn
2an+ 2bn – an-bn=b.an-1+ a.bn-1
an+bn=b.an-1+ a.bn-1
an-b.an-1=a.bn-1-bn
an-1(a – b) = bn-1(a -b)
an-1= bn-1
n – 1 = 0
n = 1
Thus, the value of n is 1.
Q16.Between 1 and 31, m numbers have been inserted such a way that the resulting sequence is an A.P.and the ratio of 7th and (m – 1)th numbers is 5: 9. Find the value of m.
Ans. Let the inserted numbers are b,c,d,e…..between 1 and 31
So, the sequence is 1, b,c,d,e…..31
Number of terms in the sequence are = m+2
(m+2)th term is = 31
31 = 1 + (m+ 2-1)d
31 = 1 + (m+1)d
d = 30/(m+1)
Observing the term of sequence we get that if inserted number is nth then it is the (n+1)th term of the series
∴ inserted 7th term = 8th term of the series = 1 + 7d = 1 +(7×30)/(m+1) =(m+211)/(m+1)
inserted (m-1)th number = mth term of the series = 1 +(m -1)d =1+(m-1)×30/(m+1)=(m+1+30m-30)/(m+1) = (31m -29)/(m+1)
According to the question
9m + 1899 = 155m – 145
9m -155m = -145 -1899
-146 m = -2044
m = 14
Hence, m = 14
Q17.A man starts repaying a loan as first installment of Rs.100.If he increases the installment by Rs 5 every month, What amount will he pay in the 30th installment?
Ans. According to the question, the sequence of instalments every month is
100, 105, 110,115…….
Where a = 100, d = 5
30th installment = 30th term of the above series = a + ( 30 – 1)d = 100 +29×5 =100+145=245
Hence the 30th installments is = Rs 245
Q18.The difference between the two consecutive interior angles of a polygon is 5º. If the smallest angle is 120º, find the number of sides of polygon.
Ans. We are given the difference between the two consecutive interior angles of a polygon is = 5º, the smallest angle is =120º, let the number of sides = n
According to question sequence of the interior angles is
120º, 125º, 130º…….
Where a = 120, d = 5
The sum of interior angles of a polygon is given as follows
Sn= 180 (n -2)
We also have the sum of AP
Therefore
Putting the value of a and d
235n + 5n² = 360n – 720
5n² – 125n +720 = 0
n² – 25n + 144 = 0
n² – 16n – 9n+ 144 = 0
n( n – 16) – 9(n -16) = 0
(n -16)(n -9) = 0
n = 16, 9
Therefore the polygon will have the number of sides 16 or 9
