Arithmetic Progression (AP) - All Possible Questions & Solutions

1. Basic nth Term Calculation

Example: Find the 20th term of an AP where a = 3 and d = 5.

Solution: Use an = a + (n-1)d -> a20 = 3 + (20-1) * 5 = 98.

2. Sum of First n Terms

Example: Find S50 for AP with a = 4, d = 3.

Solution: S50 = (50/2) * [2(4) + (50-1)(3)] = 3875.

3. Finding Common Difference (d)

Example: Given a5 = 25 and a10 = 45, find d.

Solution: Solve (a + 4d = 25) and (a + 9d = 45) -> d = 4.

4. Finding First Term & Common Difference

Example: Given S20 = 400 and S40 = 1600, find a, d.

Solution: Solve equations: 2a + 19d = 40, 2a + 39d = 80 -> a = 1, d = 2.

5. Checking If Numbers Form an AP

Example: Check if 2, 6, 10, 14 forms an AP.

Solution: d = 6-2 = 4, 10-6 = 4, 14-10 = 4 -> Yes.

6. Finding Missing Terms in an AP

Example: Three terms in AP sum to 27, product = 504. Find them.

Solution: Assume (a-d, a, a+d), solve equations -> (4, 9, 14).


7. Finding Number of Terms in an AP

Example: Find number of terms in AP 3, 7, 11, ..., 87.

Solution: Solve 87 = 3 + (n-1) * 4 -> n = 22.

8. Finding AP Between Two Numbers

Example: Insert 3 numbers between 5 and 25.

Solution: Solve 25 = 5 + (5-1)d -> d = 5. AP: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25.

9. Sum of Terms in an AP With Given Last Term

Example: Find sum of AP 5, 10, 15, ..., 100.

Solution: Find n = 20, then S20 = (20/2) * (5 + 100) = 1050.

10. AP in Real-Life Word Problems

Example: Monthly savings starts at 500, increases by 50. Find total savings in a year.

Solution: S12 = (12/2) * [2(500) + 11(50)] = 9300.
