ANSWER ASSIGNMENT

Q1) Determine k so that 3k-2, 2 k 2 – 5k+8 and 4k+3 are the three
consecutive terms of an AP
Sol: 3k-2, 2 k 2 – 5k+8 and 4k+3 are the three consecutive terms of an AP
a2 - a1 = a3 - a2

(2 k 2 – 5k+8) – (3k-2) = (4k+3) - ( 2 k 2 – 5k+8)


2 k – 5k+8– 3k+2 = 4k+3- 2 k +5k-8
2 2

2 k – 5k+8– 3k+2 - 4k-3+ 2 k -5k+8=0


2 2

4 k – 17k+15 =0
2

4 k – 12k – 5k +15 =0
2

4k (k-3) -5(k-3) = 0
(k-3) (4k-5) =0
5
K=3 or k= 4

Q2) For what value of n, the sum of n terms of an AP, whose first term is 6
and common difference is 40 is equal to the sum of 2n terms of another
AP, whose first term is 40 and common difference is 6.
Sol: for 1st series
1st term = 6
common difference=40
n
sum of n terms Sn = 2 {2a + (n-1) d}
n
Sn = 2 {2 × 6 +(n-1) 40}
=n (6 +20n -20) -------(i)
=n(20n-14)
for 2nd series,
first term = 40
common difference =6

2n
S2n = 2 {{2 × 40 +(2n -1)6}
=n {80 +12n -6}
=n {74 +12n} -----------(2)

from (i) and (ii)


n (20n -14) = n (74 + 12n)
20n -14 = 74 + 12n
8n =88
n=11
Q3) The sum of three numbers of an AP is 3 and the product of the first
and the third number is -35. find the three numbers
Sol:
Let the required numbers in AP be (a-d), a and (a + d)
(a-d) + a+ (a + d) = 3
3a =3
a=1
(a-d) (a + d) = -35
( a 2−d 2) = -35
(1 - d 2) = -35
d = 36
2

d=±6
a = 1, d = ± 6
Hence, the required numbers are (-5, 1 and 7) or (7, 1 and -5).

Q4) In an A.P. the first term is 2 and sum of the first five terms is one-fourth
of the sum of the next five terms. Show that the 20th term is -112.
n
Solu: a = 2 Sn = 2 [2a + (n – 1) d]

1
S5 = 4 (S10 –S5)

1
10 + 10d = 4 (20 + 45d -10 -10d)

40 + 40d = 10 + 35d

d=-6

a20 = a + 19d = 2 + 19(-6) = -112

Q5) Which term of the sequence 114, 109, 104,  is the first negative
term?
Solution: Here AP = 114, 109, 104, …….
a= 114, d= 109-114 = -5
a n = a + (n-1) d

= 114 + (n-1) (-5)


= 114 -5n+5
=119-5n
For the first negative term, a n < 0
119-5n < 0
119 < 5n
119
n> 5

n> 23.8
hence 24th term is the first negative term
Q6) Find the sum of those integers between 1 and 500 which are multiples
of 2 as well as of 5.
Sol: Integers between 1 and 500 which are multiples of 2 as well as of 5 =
10, 20, 30, ……., 490
They form an AP with a = 10, d = 10, an = 490
a n = a + (n-1) d

490 = 10 + (n - 1) (10)
490 = 10 + 10n - 10
490 = 10n
n = 49
If l is the last term of an AP, then the sum of the terms is given by
S = n/2[a + l]
So, S = 49/2[10 + 490]
= 49/2[500]
= 49(250)
= 12250
Therefore, the sum of the terms between 1 and 500 which are multiples of
2 as well as 5 is 12250.

Q7. Case Study


Manpreet Kaur is the national record holder for women in shot-putt. Her
throw of 18.86 m at the Asian Grand Prix in 2017 is the biggest distance for
an Indian female athlete. Keeping her as the role model, Sanjitha is
determined to earn gold in Olympics one day. Initially her throw reached
7.56m only. Being an athlete in school, she regularly practiced both in the
mornings and evenings and was able to improve the distance by 9cm every
week. During the special camp for 15 days, she started with 40 throws and
kept increasing the number of throws by 12 to achieve this remarkable
progress.
1)How many throws did Sanjitha practice on the 11th day of the camp?
Solution:
.a =40 , d=12
.a11= a+10d=40+120=160 throws.
2)What would be Sanjitha’s throw distance at the end of 6 weeks?
Solution:
.a=7.56m, d=9cm=0.09m, n=6
.a6=7.56+(5×0.09)
=7.56+0.45=8.1m
3) When will she be able to achieve a throw of 11.16m?
Solution:
.an=11.16, a =7.56m, d=0.09m
11.16=7.56+(n-1)0.09
3.6=(n-1)0.09
n-1=40
n=41
In 41 weeks, She will achieve a throw of 11.16m.
4)How many throws did she do during the entire camp of 15 days?
Solution:
a=40 d=12
15
S15= 2 (80+14×12)

15
= 2 (248)

=1860 throws
