Notes Important Questions Answers of 11th Math Chapter 6 Excercise 6.10
Question # 1
A man deposits in a bank Rs. 8 in the first year, Rs. 24 in the second year, Rs.
72 in the third year and so on. Find the amount he will have deposited in the bank by
the fifth year.
Solution
The sequence of deposit is 8, 24, 72, ………….
24 72
Here a1 = 8 r = = = 3, n = 5
8 24
a (r n − 1) 8(35 − 1) 8(243 − 1)
Since Sn = 1 ⇒ S5 = = = 4(242) = 968
r −1 3 −1 2
Thus he has to deposited Rs. 968 up to the fifth year.
Question # 2
A man borrow Rs. 32760 with out interest and agrees to repay the loan in
installment being twice the preceding one. Find the amount of the last installment, if
the amount of the first installment is Rs. 8.
Solution
Here a1 = 8 , r = 2 , Sn = 32760 , n = ?, an = ?
a1 (r n − 1)
Since Sn =
r −1
8(2n − 1) 8(2n − 1)
⇒ 32760 = ⇒ 32760 = ⇒ 32760 = 8(2n − 1)
2 −1 1
n n
⇒ 4095 = (2 − 1) ⇒ 4095 + 1 = 2 ⇒ 4096 = 2n
⇒ (2)12 = 2n ⇒ 12 = n
Now a12 = a1r11 ⇒ a12 = (8)(2)11 = (8)(2048) = 16384
[
Hence the last instalment is Rs. 16384.
Question # 3
The population of a certain village is 62500. What will be its population after
3 years if it increase geometrically at the rate of 4% annually?
Solution
4
Here a1 = 62500 , n = 4 , r = 1 + = 1 + 0.04 = 1.04
100
Since an = a1r n−1 ⇒ a4 = (62500)(1.04) 4−1 = (62500)(1.04)3
= (62500)(1.1249) = 70304
Thus the population after 3 years is 70304.
Question # 4
The enrollment of a famous school doubled after every eight years from 1970
to 1994. If the enrollment was 6000 in 1994, what was its enrollment in 1970.
Solution
Let the enrolment in 1970 is a1
