Q.1 If the 9th term of A.P is 35 and 19th term of A. P. is 75, then its 20th term will be
(A) 78 (B) 79 (C) 80 (D) 81

Solution : (B)
first term = 𝑎 Common difference = 𝑑

𝑎 + 8𝑑 = 35 − (1)
𝑎 + 18𝑑 = 75 − (2)

⇒ 10𝑑 = 40
sub tracking (2) - (1) 𝑑=4
𝑎=3

20th term = 𝑎 + 19𝑑 = 3 + 19 × 4 = 3 + 76 = 79

𝑎1 + 𝑎6 + 𝑎7 is
(A) -8 (B) 5 (C) 7 (D) 9

Solution : (C)
𝑎 + 2𝑑 + 𝑎 + 4𝑑 +𝑎 + 7𝑑 = 11
3𝑎 + 13𝑑 = 11 __(1)
𝑎 + 3𝑑 + 𝑎 + 𝑑 = −2
2𝑎 + 4𝑑 = −2 __(2)

Q.4 Find the sum of the G.P.:
2 2 2 2
, , , , … to 𝑛 terms.

(A) 4 (1 − (1/5𝑛 )) (B) 5 (1 − (1/5𝑛 ))
1 4
(C) 2 (1 − (1/5n )) (D) 5 (1 − (1/5𝑛 ))

Solution : (C)
Given:
2/5, 2/25,2/125,2/625, …. to 𝑛 terms.
Formula used:
1−𝑟 𝑛
Sum of a G.P. to n terms = a ( 1−𝑟 )
Where,
a = first term
r = common ratio
Calculation:
Here, a = 2/5
𝑟 = 2/25 ÷ 2/5 = 1/5

1 − 𝑟𝑛
Sum to n terms = a ( )
1−𝑟
1 − (1/5)𝑛
⇒ Sum = (2/5)
1 − 1/5
1 − (1/5)𝑛
⇒ Sum = (2/5)
4/5
⇒ Sum = (2/5) × (5/4) × [1 − (1/5)n ]
⇒ Sum = 1/2 × [1 − (1/5)n ]

∴ The correct answer is option C.
