It looks like you've provided a list of problems related to Arithmetic Progressions (AP).
I'll solve
each one step-by-step.
Here are the solutions to the sums:
ARITHMETIC PROGRESSIONS
1. Find the common difference, if the sequence is an AP (i) 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, .............
(ii) 3, 1, -1, -3, .............
○ (i) d = 20 - 10 = 10
○ (ii) d = 1 - 3 = -2
2. Find the nth term of an AP a) 7, 10, 13, ............. b) 1, 3, 5, 7, ............. c) a, a + 2b, a
+4b, .............
○ The formula for the nth term is a_n = a + (n-1)d
○ a) a = 7, d = 10 - 7 = 3 a_n = 7 + (n-1)3 = 7 + 3n - 3 = 3n + 4
○ b) a = 1, d = 3 - 1 = 2 a_n = 1 + (n-1)2 = 1 + 2n - 2 = 2n - 1
○ c) a = a, d = (a + 2b) - a = 2b a_n = a + (n-1)2b
3. In an AP, a = 5, d = 2 and , Find 10^{th} term.
○ a_{10} = a + (10-1)d = 5 + 9(2) = 5 + 18 = 23
4. In an AP, a = 15, 15^{th} term is -13 and find d and n.
○ Here, a = 15, and a_{15} = -13. We need to find d. The question also asks for 'n',
but 'n' is given as 15 for the 15^{th} term. Perhaps it's a typo and should be asking
for 'a' or something else, but based on the question, we only find 'd'.
○ a_n = a + (n-1)d
○ -13 = 15 + (15-1)d
○ -13 = 15 + 14d
○ -13 - 15 = 14d
○ -28 = 14d
○ d = -28 / 14 = -2
5. Write the formula to find nth term.
○ The formula to find the nth term of an AP is a_n = a + (n-1)d, where a_n is the nth
term, a is the first term, n is the term number, and d is the common difference.
6. Write formula to find sum of the n term
○ The formula to find the sum of the first n terms of an AP is S_n = \frac{n}{2}(2a +
(n-1)d) or S_n = \frac{n}{2}(a + a_n).
7. In an AP, a = 2, d = 7. Find a_{22}
○ a_{22} = a + (22-1)d = 2 + 21(7) = 2 + 147 = 149
8. In an AP, a = 8, S_n = 1050. Find d
○ This question seems incomplete. To find 'd', we need either 'n' or the nth term a_n.
Assuming it meant S_n = 1050 for some specific 'n' and we need to find 'd' or 'n'
given S_n. Let's re-examine. If S_n = 1050 is the sum of the first n terms, and a=8,
we still need 'n' to find 'd'.
○ Assuming the question intended to ask to find 'n' if it was a specific type of
problem, or there's missing info. If you provide 'n', I can solve for 'd'.
○ Let's assume there's a typo and it meant to provide a_n or 'n'. Without 'n', we
can't find 'd'.
9. In an AP, a = 8, a_n = 980. Find n and d
○ This also seems incomplete. We have a = 8 and a_n = 980. We need either 'n' or 'd'
to find the other.
○ If you meant S_n = 980, then: S_n = \frac{n}{2}(a + a_n) 980 = \frac{n}{2}(8 + a_n)
Still needs a_n or 'n'.
○ Assuming the question intended to provide either 'n' or 'd' to find the other.
10.Find the sum of first 1000 whole numbers.
○ Whole numbers start from 0. So the sequence is 0, 1, 2, ..., 999.
○ This is an AP with a = 0, d = 1, and n = 1000.
○ S_n = \frac{n}{2}(2a + (n-1)d)
○ S_{1000} = \frac{1000}{2}(2(0) + (1000-1)1)
○ S_{1000} = 500(0 + 999)
○ S_{1000} = 500 \times 999 = 499500
○ If "whole numbers" is meant to start from 1 (natural numbers), then: The
sequence is 1, 2, ..., 1000. a = 1, d = 1, n = 1000. S_{1000} = \frac{1000}{2}(2(1) +
(1000-1)1) S_{1000} = 500(2 + 999) = 500(1001) = 500500
○ Standard interpretation of "whole numbers" usually includes 0. I will stick
with the first answer (499500).
11.If 2K, 3K - 2 and 3K + 2 are three consecutive terms of an AP,then find the value of
K
○ In an AP, the common difference between consecutive terms is constant.
○ (3K - 2) - 2K = (3K + 2) - (3K - 2)
○ K - 2 = 3K + 2 - 3K + 2
○ K - 2 = 4
○ K = 4 + 2
○ K = 6
12.Find the sum of the first 25 odd natural numbers
○ The sequence is 1, 3, 5, ..., (25th odd number).
○ a = 1, d = 2, n = 25.
○ S_n = \frac{n}{2}(2a + (n-1)d)
○ S_{25} = \frac{25}{2}(2(1) + (25-1)2)
○ S_{25} = \frac{25}{2}(2 + 24 \times 2)
○ S_{25} = \frac{25}{2}(2 + 48)
○ S_{25} = \frac{25}{2}(50)
○ S_{25} = 25 \times 25 = 625
13.Find the number of natural numbers between 100 and 1000 which are divisible by 3
and 4.
○ Numbers divisible by both 3 and 4 are divisible by their LCM, which is 12.
○ We need numbers between 100 and 1000 (exclusive).
○ First term (a): The first multiple of 12 greater than 100. 100 / 12 = 8 with a
remainder. 12 \times 8 = 96. So, the next multiple is 12 \times 9 = 108. Thus, a =
108.
○ Last term (a_n): The last multiple of 12 less than 1000. 1000 / 12 = 83 with a
remainder of 4. So, 12 \times 83 = 996. Thus, a_n = 996.
○ Now, use a_n = a + (n-1)d to find 'n', where d = 12.
○ 996 = 108 + (n-1)12
○ 996 - 108 = (n-1)12
○ 888 = (n-1)12
○ n-1 = 888 / 12
○ n-1 = 74
○ n = 75
○ There are 74 numbers if "between" means strictly exclusive (i.e., not including 100
and 1000).
14.Find the sum of all 3- digit numbers, which are multiples of 15.
○ 3-digit numbers range from 100 to 999.
○ First term (a): The first multiple of 15 that is a 3-digit number. 100 / 15 = 6 with a
remainder. 15 \times 6 = 90. So, 15 \times 7 = 105. Thus, a = 105.
○ Last term (a_n): The last multiple of 15 that is a 3-digit number. 999 / 15 = 66 with a
remainder of 9. So, 15 \times 66 = 990. Thus, a_n = 990.
○ Find 'n': a_n = a + (n-1)d, where d = 15.
○ 990 = 105 + (n-1)15
○ 990 - 105 = (n-1)15
○ 885 = (n-1)15
○ n-1 = 885 / 15
○ n-1 = 59
○ n = 60
○ Find the sum (S_n): S_n = \frac{n}{2}(a + a_n)
○ S_{60} = \frac{60}{2}(105 + 990)
○ S_{60} = 30(1095)
○ S_{60} = 32850
15.Which term of an AP 4, 10, 16, ...... is 118?
○ a = 4, d = 10 - 4 = 6, a_n = 118. We need to find 'n'.
○ a_n = a + (n-1)d
○ 118 = 4 + (n-1)6
○ 118 - 4 = (n-1)6
○ 114 = (n-1)6
○ n-1 = 114 / 6
○ n-1 = 19
○ n = 20
○ So, 118 is the 20th term.
16.Find the number of terms in 11, 8, 5, 2, ......, -373?
○ a = 11, d = 8 - 11 = -3, a_n = -373. We need to find 'n'.
○ a_n = a + (n-1)d
○ -373 = 11 + (n-1)(-3)
○ -373 - 11 = -3(n-1)
○ -384 = -3(n-1)
○ n-1 = -384 / -3
○ n-1 = 128
○ n = 129
○ There are 129 terms.
17.Find the sum of the AP a) 4, 8, 12, ............., 100 b), 1, ............., 20
○ a) 4, 8, 12, \dots, 100 a = 4, d = 4, a_n = 100. First, find 'n': 100 = 4 + (n-1)4 96 =
(n-1)4 24 = n-1 n = 25 Now, find the sum: S_{25} = \frac{25}{2}(4 + 100) =
\frac{25}{2}(104) = 25 \times 52 = 1300
○ b) 1, \dots, 20 (Assuming this means sum of natural numbers from 1 to 20) a = 1, d
= 1, a_n = 20. n = 20 (since it's 1 to 20) Sum: S_{20} = \frac{20}{2}(1 + 20) = 10(21)
= 210
