 a + 6d = 31 Five years later, their ages will be (x + 5)
–5 + 6d = 31 years and (y + 5) years

6d = 36 According to the problem

d=6 (x + 5) = 3(y + 5)

x1 = a + d = –5 + 6 = 1,  x + 5 = 3y + 15

x2 = x1 + d  x = 3y + 15 – 5

x2 = 1 + 6 = 7  x = 3y + 10 ...... (2)

x3 = x2 + d From (1) and (2), we have

x3 = 7 + 6 = 13 7y – 30 = 3y + 10

 x4 = x3 + d = 13 + 6 = 19  4y = 40

x5 = x4 + d = 19 + 6 = 25  y = 10

 x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5 = 1 + 7 + 13 + 19 + 25  x = 7y – 30

p(–1) = (–1) + a(–1) + b(–1) + c = 0
Given 3, 10, 17... are in AP
–1 + a – b + c = 0
b = 3 D = 10 – 3 = 7
c = (b – a + 1)
bn = b + (n – 1) D = 3 + (n – 1) 7 = 3 + 7n – 7
c = 7n – 4
But  =

Given an = bn
–(b – a + 1)  = 61 + 2n = 7n – 4

17. (C) Given ABCD is a rectangle
Five years ago, their ages were (x – 5)
years and (y – 5) years  BD = AC = (11 + 10)2 + (15 + 5)2

(x – 5) = 7(y – 5)
