Q1. In an A.P., the sum of first ten terms is -150 and the sum of its next ten terms is -550.
Find the A.P.
Q2. Directions: In the following questions, the Assertions (A) and Reason(s) (R) have been put forward.
Read both the statements carefully and choose the correct alternative from the following:
1 1 1
Assertion: If a, b, c are in A.P., then , , are also in A.P.
bc ac ab
Reason: If a constant is added to each term of an A.P., then the resulting pattern of numbers is also an
A.P.
A. Assertion and Reason both are correct B. Assertion and Reason both are correct
statements and Reason is the correct statements but Reason is not the correct
explanation of Assertion. explanation of Assertion.
C. Assertion is correct statement but Reason is D. Assertion is wrong statement but Reason is
wrong siatement. correct statement.
Q3. If 6 times the 6th term of an A.P. is equal to 9 times the 9th term, show that its 15th
term is zero.
Q4. In Mathematics, relations can be expressed in various ways. The matchstick patterns are based on linear
relations. Different strategies can be used to calculate the number of matchsticks used in different figures.
One such pattern is shown below. Observe the pattern and answer the following questions using Arithmetic
Progression:
a. Write the AP for the number of triangles used in the figures. Also, write the nth term of this AP.
b. Which figure has 61 matchsticks?
Q5. Find the middle term of the A.P. 7, 13, 19,
…., 247.
Q6. In anA.P., the sum of first n terms is n (3n + 5). Find the 25th term
2
of the A. P.
Q7. If the last term of an A.P. of 30 terms is 119 and the 8th term from the end (towards the first term) is 91,
then find the common difference of the A.P. Hence, find the sum of all the terms of the A.P.
Q8. Find a, b and c if it is given that the numbers a, 7, b, 23, c
are in AP.
Q9. Find the sum:
(-5) + (-8) + (-11) + ... +
(-230)

negative term.
Q11. In an AP, if a2 = 26 and a15 = - 26, then
write the AP.
Q12. Which term of the A.P.
11 1 49

Q13. Solve the equation:
1 + 5 + 9 + 13 + … + x =
1326
Q14. Find the sum of first 20 terms of an A.P. whose nth term is given as
an, = 5 - 2n.
Q15. In an AP, it is given that S5 + S7 = 167 and S10 = 235, then find the AP, where Sn denotes the sum of
its first n terms.
Q16. If (2p + 1), 13, (5p - 3) are in AP, find the
value of p.
