Exercise 11D

Very-Short and Short-Answer Questions

Question 1.

Solution:

(3y – 1), (3y + 5) and (5y+ 1) are in AP

(3y + 5) – (3y – 1) = (5y + 1) – (3y + 5)

⇒ 2 (3y + 5) = (5y + 1) + (3y – 1)

⇒ 6y + 10 = 8y

⇒ 8y – 6y = 10

⇒ 2y = 10

⇒ y = 5

y = 5

Question 2.

Solution:

k, (2k – 1) and (2k + 1) are the three successive terms of an AP.

(2k – 1) – k = (2k + 1) – (2k – 1)

⇒ 2 (2k – 1) = 2k + 1 + k

⇒ 4k – 2 = 3k + 1

⇒ 4k – 3k = 1 + 2

⇒ k = 3

k = 3

Question 3.

Solution:

18, a, (b – 3) are in AP

⇒ a – 18 = b – 3 – a

⇒ a + a – b = -3 + 18

⇒ 2a – b = 15

Question 4.

Solution:

a, 9, b, 25 are in AP.

9 – a = b – 9 = 25 – b

b – 9 = 25 – b

⇒ b + b = 22 + 9 = 34

⇒ 2b = 34

⇒ b= 17

a – b = a – 9

⇒ 9 + 9 = a + b

⇒ a + b = 18

⇒ a + 17 = 18

⇒ a = 18 – 17 = 1

a = 18, b= 17

Question 5.

Solution:

(2n – 1), (3n + 2) and (6n – 1) are in AP

(3n + 2) – (2n – 1) = (6n – 1) – (3n + 2)

⇒ (3n + 2) + (3n + 2) = 6n – 1 + 2n – 1

6n + 4 = 8n – 2

⇒ 8n – 6n = 4 + 2

⇒ 2n = 6

⇒ n = 3

and numbers are

2 x 3 – 1 = 5

3 x 3 + 2 = 11

6 x 3 – 1 = 17

i.e. (5, 11, 17) are required numbers.

Question 6.

Solution:

Three digit numbers are 100 to 990 and numbers which are divisible by 7 will be

105, 112, 119, 126, …, 994

Here, a = 105, d= 7, l = 994

T_n = (l) = a + (n – 1) d

⇒ 994 = 105 + (n – 1) x 7

⇒ 994 – 105 = (n – 1) 7

⇒ (n – 1) x 7 = 889

⇒ n – 1 = 127

⇒ n = 127 + 1 = 128

Required numbers are 128

Question 7.

Solution:

Three digit numbers are 100 to 999

and numbers which are divisible by 9 will be

108, 117, 126, 135, …, 999

Here, a = 108, d= 9, l = 999

T_n (l) = a + (n – 1) d

⇒ 999 = 108 + (n – 1) x 9

⇒ (n – 1) x 9 = 999 – 108 = 891

⇒ n – 1 = 99

⇒ n = 99 + 1 = 100

Question 8.

Solution:

Sum of first m terms of an AP = 2m² + 3m

S_m = 2m² + 3m

S₁ = 2(1)² + 3 x 1 = 2 + 3 = 5

S₂ = 2(2)² + 3 x 2 = 8 + 6=14

S₃ = 2(3)² + 3 x 3 = 18 + 9 = 27

Now, T₂ = S₂ – S₁ = 14 – 5 = 9

Second term = 9

Question 9.

Solution:

AP is a, 3a, 5a, …

Here, a = a, d = 2a

Question 10.

Solution:

AP 2, 7, 12, 17, …… 47

Here, a = 2, d = 7 – 2 = 5, l = 47

nth term from the end = l – (n – 1 )d

5th term from the end = 47 – (5 – 1) x 5 = 47 – 4 x 5 = 47 – 20 = 27

Question 11.

Solution:

AP is 2, 7, 12, 17, …

Here, a = 2, d = 7 – 2 = 5

a_n = a + (n – 1) d = 2 + (n – 1) x 5 = 2 + 5n – 5 = 5n – 3

Now, a₃₀ = 2 + (30 – 1) x 5 = 2 + 29 x 5 = 2 + 145 = 147

and a₂₀ = 2 + (20 – 1) x 5 = 2 + 19 x 5 = 2 + 95 = 97

a₃₀ – a₂₀ = 147 – 97 = 50

Question 12.

Solution:

T_n = 3n + 5

T_n-1 = 3 (n – 1) + 5 = 3n – 3 + 5 = 3n + 2

d = T_n – T_n-1 = (3n + 5) – (3n + 2) = 3n + 5 – 3n – 2 = 3

Common difference = 3

Question 13.

Solution:

T_n = 7 – 4n

T_n-1 = 7 – 4(n – 1) = 7 – 4n + 4 = 11 – 4n

d = T_n – T_n-1 = (7 – 4n) – (11 – 4n) = 7 – 4n – 11 + 4n = -4

d = -4

Question 14.

Solution:

AP is √8, √18, √32, …..

⇒ √(4 x 2) , √(9 x 2) , √(16 x 2), ………

Question 15.

Solution:

Question 16.

Solution:

AP is 21, 18, 15, …n

Here, a = 21, d = 18 – 21 = -3, l = 0

T_n (l) = a + (n – 1) d

0 = 21 + (n – 1) x (-3)

0 = 21 – 3n + 3

⇒ 24 – 3n = 0

⇒ 3n = 24

⇒ n = 8 .

0 is the 8th term.

Question 17.

Solution:

First n natural numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, …, n

Here, a = 1, d = 1

Question 18.

Solution:

First n even natural numbers are 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, … n

Here, a = 2, d = 4 – 2 = 2

Question 19.

Solution:

In an AP

First term (a) = p

and common difference (d) = q

T₁₀ = a + (n – 1) d = p + (10 – 1) x q = (p + 9q)

Question 20.

Solution:

Question 21.

Solution:

2p + 1, 13, 5p – 3 are in AP, then

13 – (2p + 1) = (5p – 3) – 13

⇒ 13 – 2p – 1 = 5p – 3 – 13

⇒ 12 – 2p = 5p – 16

⇒ 5p + 2p = 12 + 16

⇒ 7p = 28

⇒ p = 4

P = 4

Question 22.

Solution:

(2p – 1), 7, 3p are in AP, then

⇒ 7 – (2p – 1) = 3p – 7

⇒ 7 – 2p + 1 = 3p – 7

⇒ 7 + 1 + 7 = 3p + 2p

⇒ 5p = 15

⇒ p = 3

P = 3

Question 23.

Solution:

Question 24.

Solution:



d = T₂ – T₁ = 14 – 8 = 6

Common difference = 6
