1. Reshma wanted to save at least ₹ 6,500 for sending her daughter to school next year (after 12
months). She saved ₹ 450 in the first month and raised her saving by ₹ 20 every next month.
How much will she be able to save in next 12 months? Will she be able to send her daughter to the
school next year? What value is reflected in this question?
2. A contract on construction job specifies a penalty for delay of completion beyond a certain date as
follows: Rs. 200 for 1st day,, Rs. 250 for second day, Rs. 300 for third day and so on. If the
contractor pays Rs. 27750 as penalty, find the number of days for which the construction
work is delayed.
3. If the ratio of the sum of the first 𝑛 terms of two A.Ps is (7𝑛 + 1) ∶ (4𝑛 + 27), then find the ratio of
their 9th terms.
4. A child puts one five–rupee coin of her saving in the piggy bank on the first day. She increases her
saving by one five–rupee coin daily. If the piggy bank can hold 190 coins of five rupees in all, find
the number of days she can continue to put the five–rupee coins into it and find the total money she
saved. Write your views on the habit of saving.
5. If 1 + 4 + 7 + 10 + ⋯+ 𝑥 = 287, find the value of 𝑥.
6. If 𝑚 times the 𝑚th term of an A.P. is equal to 𝑛 times its 𝑛th term, find the (𝑚 + 𝑛)th term of the A.P.
If 9th term of an A.P. is zero, prove that its 29th term is double of its 19th term.
7. The sum of first six terms of an arithmetic progression is 42. The ratio of its 10th term to its 30th term
is 1 ∶ 3. Calculate the first and the thirteenth term of the 𝐴.𝑃.
8. The sum of the first sixteen terms of an A.P. is 112 and the sum of its next fourteen terms is 518. Find
the A.P.
9. If seven times the 7th term of an A.P. is equal to eleven times the 11th term, then what will be its
18th term?
10. For what value of 𝑘, are the numbers 𝑥,2𝑥 + 𝑘 and 3𝑥 + 6 three consecutive terms of an A.P.?
11. If Sn denotes the sum of the first n terms of an A.P. Prove that S30= 3(S20-S10)
12. A School has decided to plant some endangered trees on 51 st World Environment Day in the nearest
park. They have decided to plant those trees in few concentric circular rows such that each
succeeding row has 20 more trees than the previous one. The first circular row has 50 trees.
Based on the above given information, answer the following questions:
(i) How many trees will be planted in the 10th row ?
(ii)How many more trees will be planted in the 8th row than in the 5th row?
(iii) If 3200 trees are to be planted in the park, then how many rows are required ?.
