Let n terms be taken
a = 18 , d = 16 – 18 = -2,
Sn = 0 (given)
Sn = \(\frac{n}{2}\)(2a + (n – 1)d)
0 = \(\frac{n}{2}\)[2 × 18 + (n – 1) × (- 2)]
⇒ 0 = 36 – 2n + 2
2n = 38 ∴ n = \(\frac{38}{2}\) = 19

Question 3.
Find the sum of 20 terms of the series
a + b, a – b, a – 3b
Solution:
Given
First term (A) = a + b
Common difference (d) = a – b – a – b
= -2 b
Now, S20 = [2(a + b) + (20 – 1) × (-26)]
= 10(2a + 2b – 40b + 26)
= 10(2a- 36b)
= 20(a – 186)

Question 4.
Write the common difference and the next three terms of the A.P. 1,- 2,- 5, —8,….

Solution:
Three terms of the arithmetic progression will be
a + d, a, a – d
According to the question
a + d + a + a – d = – 3
a = – 1
(a + d) × a × (a – d) = 8
(- 1 + d) × (- 1)(- 1 – d) = 8
⇒ (1 + d)(d – 1) = 8
∴ d2 – 1 = 8
d2 = 9 or d= ±3
Hence more numbers will be 2, – 1,-4.

If the third term of an arithmetic progression is 18 and the seventh term is 30, then write its 15th term.
Solution:
According to the question
18 = a3 = a + 2d …(1)
30 = a7 = a + 6d … (2)
Equation (1) – Equation (2)
– 12 = – 4d ∴ d = 3
From equation (1)
18 = a + 2 × 3
⇒ 18 = a + 6
⇒ a = 12
a15 = a + 14d
= 12 + 14 × 3
= 12 + 42 = 54

Question 12.
Write the arithmetic mean of a and b.
Solution:
Arithmetic mean = \(\frac{a+b}{2}\)

an = 9 – 5n
Putting n = 1, 2, 3, …..
a1 = 9 – 5(1) = 4
a2 = 9 – 5(2) = 9 – 10 = – 1
a3 = 9 – 5(3) = 9 – 15 = – 6
Common difference for A.P.
(d) = a2 – a1 = a3 – a2
⇒ d = -1 – 4 = -5

Question 15.
Write next two terms of the A.P. 4, 1, -2, -5, …….
Solution:
The given progression is 4, 1, -2, -5, …..

Hence the required A.P. is : 3, 4, 5, 6, 7,….

RBSE Class 10 Maths Important Questions Chapter 5 Arithmetic Progressions

Question 3.
Find the last term of the Arithmetic Progression 7, 16, 25, 34,…. of 28 terms.
Solution:
Given : First term (a) = 7
Common difference (d) = 16 – 7 = 9
To determine—Last term i.e ., 28th term = a28
Formula— an = a + (n – 1) d
a28 = 7 + (28 – 1)9
= 7 + (27 × 9)
= 7 + 243 = 250
Hence, last term = 250.

Question 4.
Find the last term of the Arithmetic Progression 18, 16, 14, 12, …. of 17 terms.
Solution:
Given :
First term (a) = 18
Common difference (d) = 16 – 18 = -2
To determine—Last term, i.e., 17th term = a17
Formula— an = a + (n – 1) d
a17 = 18 + (17 – 1) (-2)
= 18 + [16 × (-2)]
= 18 – 32 = – 14
Hence, last term = (- 14)

RBSE Class 10 Maths Important Questions Chapter 5 Arithmetic Progressions

Question 5.
How many numbers of two digits are divisible by 3?
Solution:
The list of two digit numbers divisible by 3 is : 12, 15, 18,. .. ., 99
It is an A.P. ? Yes, it is true. Here a = 12, d = 3 and an = 99.
∵ an = a + (n – 1) d
So 99 = 12 + (n – 1) × 3
or 87 = (n – 1) × 3
or n – 1 = \(\frac{87}{3}\) = 29
or n = 29 + 1 = 30
Hence, there are 30 two digit numbers divisible by 3.

Question 6.

S11 = \(\frac{11(40)}{2}\) = 11 × 20 = 220

RBSE Class 10 Maths Important Questions Chapter 5 Arithmetic Progressions

Question 7.
Find the sum of the first 22 terms of A.P.: 8, 3, – 2,….
Solution:
Here a = 8, d = 3 – 8 = -5 and n = 22
We khow that
S = \(\frac{n}{2}\)[2a + (n – 1)d]
So, S = \(\frac{22}{2}\)[16 + 21 (-5)]
= 11 (16 – 105)
= 11 (-89)
= -979
So the sum of first 22 terms of the A.P. is – 979

Question 8.
If the nth term of an arithmetic progression is 2n + 5 then find the sum of seven terms of the progression.
Solution:
Since it is given that
an = 2n + 5
Putting n = 1, 2, 3 …….
a1 = 2 × 1 + 5 = 2 + 5 = 7
a2 = 2 × 2 + 5= 4 + 5 = 9
a3 = 2 × 3 + 5 = 6 + 5 = 11
∴ The progression will be
7, 9, 11 …
∴ d = a2 – a1 = 9 – 7 = 2
∴ Sn = \(\frac{n}{2}\)[2a + (n – 1)d]
= \(\frac{7}{2}\)[2 × 7 + (7 – 1) × 21]
= \(\frac{7}{2}\)[14 + 12= \(\frac{7}{2}\) × 26
= 7 × 13 = 91

RBSE Class 10 Maths Important Questions Chapter 5 Arithmetic Progressions

Question 9.
Find the 11th term of the arithmetic progression 2, 7, 12….
Solution:
Here a = 2, d = 7 – 2 = 5 and n= 10
∵ an = a + (n – 1 )d
So, a11 = 2 + (11 – 1) × 5
= 2 + 50 = 52
Hence the 11th term of the given arithmetic progression is 52.

Question 10.
If sum of the first 12 terms of an A.P. is 468 and its common difference is 6 then find its 10th term.
Solution:
According to the question here S12 = 468, n = 12 and common difference (d) = 6
∵ Sn = \(\frac{n}{2}\)[2a + (n – 1 )d]
∴ 468 = \(\frac{12}{2}\)[2a + (12- 1)6]
or 468 = 6 [2a + 66]
or 2a + 66 = \(\frac{468}{6}\) = 78
or 2a = 78 – 66 = 12
∴ a = \(\frac{12}{2}\) = 6
Now 10th term
a10 = a + (n – 1) d
= 6 + (10 – 1)6
= 6 + 9 x 6
= 6 + 54 = 60
i.e. 10th term is 60.

RBSE Class 10 Maths Important Questions Chapter 5 Arithmetic Progressions

Question 11.
How many terms of the A.P.: 17, 15, 13, must be taken, so that their sum is 81?
Solution:
Given A.P.,
17, 15, 13, …..
Here a = 17,d = 15 – 17 = – 2 and Sn = 81
∴ \(\frac{n}{2}\)[2a + (n – 1)d] = 81
or \(\frac{n}{2}\)[2(17) + (n – 1)(-2)] = 81
or \(\frac{n}{2}\)[34 – 2n + 2] = 81
or \(\frac{n}{2}\)[-2n + 36] = 81
or n[-n + 18] = 81
or -n2 + 18n – 81 = 0
or n2 – 18n + 81 = 0
or n2 – 9n – 9n + 81 = 0
or n(n – 9) – 9(n – 9) =0
or (n – 9) (n – 9) = 0
or n – 9)2 = 0
or n = 0

Long Answer Type Questions—

Question 1.
Which term of the A.P. : 21, 18, 15, ……… is – 81? Also, is any term of this A.P. zero? Give reason for your answer.
Solution:
Here, a = 21, d = 18 – 21 = – 3 and an = – 81.
We have to find n.
∵ an = a + (n – 1)d
so -81 = 21 + (n – 1) (-3)
or -81 = 24 – 3n
or – 105 = – 3n
so n = 35
Therefore the 35th term of the given A .P. is -81.
Now, we want to know if there is any n for which an = 0. If such an n is there. Then
21 + (n – 1) (- 3) = 0
or 3(n – 1) = 21
or n = 8
Hence, 8th term is 0.

RBSE Class 10 Maths Important Questions Chapter 5 Arithmetic Progressions

Question 2.
Check whether 301 is a term of the list of numbers 5, 11, 17, 23, ……..
Solution:
We have :
a2 – a1 = 11 – 5 = 6
a3 – a2 = 17 – 11 = 6
a4 – a3 = 23 – 17 = 6
Since for k = 1, 2, 3, etc. ak+1 – ak is the same number, therefore, the given list of numbers is an A.P.
Here a = 5 and d = 6
Let nth term of this A.P. be 301.
We know that
an = a + (n – 1)d
So 301 = 5 + (n – 1) × 6
i.e. 301 = 6n – 1
Hence n = \(\frac{302}{6}\) = \(\frac{151}{3}\)
But n should be a positive integer. So, 301 is not a term of the given list of numbers.

Question 3.
If pth term of an arithmetic progression is \(\frac{1}{q}\) and qth term is \(\frac{1}{p}\), then prove that the sum of first pq terms should be \(\frac{1}{2}\)(pq + 1)
Solution:
Let the first term of the arithmetic progression be A and the common difference be d.
∴ According to the question
ap = A + (p – 1 )d = \(\frac{1}{q}\) … (i)

RBSE Class 10 Maths Important Questions Chapter 5 Arithmetic Progressions

Question 4.
If the sum of the first 14 terms of an AP 1050 and its first term is 10, find the 20th term.
Solution:
Here S14 = 1050, n = 14 and a = 10
∵ Sn = \(\frac{n}{2}\)[2a + (n – 1)d]
so 1050 = \(\frac{14}{2}\)[20+ 13d] = 140 + 91d
i.e. 910 = 91d
or d = 10
so a20 = 10 +(20 – 1) × 10 = 200
i.e., 20th term is 200.

Question 5.
How many terms of the A.P.: 24, 21, 18,…. must be taken 20 that their sum is 78?
Solution:
Here a = 24, d = 21 – 24 = – 3 and Sn = 78.
We need to find n.
We know that
Sn = \(\frac{n}{2}\)[2a + (n – 1)d]
So, 78 = \(\frac{n}{2}\)[48 +(n – 1)(-3)
= \(\frac{n}{2}\)[51 – 3n]
or 3n2 – 51n + 156 = 0
or n2 – 17n + 52 = 0
or n2 – 4n – 13n + 52 = 0
or n(n- 4) – 13 (n – 4) = 0
or (n – 4) (n – 13) = 0
So, n = 4 or 13
Both these values of n are possible and can be accepted. So, the required number of terms is either 4 or 13.

RBSE Class 10 Maths Important Questions Chapter 5 Arithmetic Progressions

Question 6.
Find the sum of:
(i) The first 1000 positive integers
(ii) The first n positive integers
Solution:
(i) Let S = 1 + 2 + 3 + ……. + 1000
Using the formula Sn = \(\frac{n}{2}\)(a + l) for the sum of the first n terms of an A.P.
S1000 = \(\frac{1000}{2}\)(1 + 1000)
= 500 × 1001
= 500500
So, the sum of the fi rst 1000 positive integers is 500500.

(ii) Let Sn= 1 + 2 + 3 + …….+ n
Here a = 1 and the last term l = n
Therefore, Sn = \(\frac{n(1+n)}{2}\)
or Sn = \(\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\)
Thus, the sum of first n positive integers is obtained by the formula
Sn = \(\frac{n(n+1)}{2}\)

Question 7.
A sum of Rs. 1000 is invested at 8% simple interest per year. Calculate the interest at the end of each year. So these interests form an A.P.? If so find the interest at the end of 30 years making use of this fact.
Solution:
We know that the formula to calculate simple interest is given by
Simple Interest = \(\frac{P \times R \times T}{100}\)
So, the interest at the end of the first year
= ₹ \(\frac{1000 \times 8 \times 1}{100}\)
= ₹ 80
The interest at the end of the second year
= ₹ \(\frac{1000 \times 8 \times 2}{100}\)
= ₹ 160
The interest at the end of the second year
= ₹ \(\frac{1000 \times 8 \times 3}{100}\)
= ₹ 240
Similarly, we can calculate the interest at the end of the fourth year, fifth year, and so on so, the interest (in Rs.) at the end of first, second, third, years, respectively are :
80, 160, 240, …….
It is an AP on the difference between any two consecutive term is 80, i.e., d = 80. Also here a = 80.
So, to find the interest at the end of 30 years, we shall find a30.
Now, a30 = a + (30 – 1)d
= 80 + 29 × 80
= 2400
So, the interest at the end of 30 years will be ₹ 2400.

So, a = 23, d = 21 – 23 = – 2 and an = 5
∵ an = a + (n – 1 )d
∴ 5 = 23 + (n – 1) (-2)
or – 18 = (n – 1) (-2)
or n = 10
So, there are 10 rose in the flower bed.

Question 9.
Find the sum of first 24 terms of the list of numbers where nth term is given by an = 3 + 2n.
Solution:
Since
an = 3 + 2n
a1 = 3 + 2 = 5
a2 = 3 + 2 × 2 = 7
a3 = 3 + 2 × 3 = 9
The list of numbers thus obtained is 5, 7, 9, 11, ….
Here 7 – 5 = 9 – 7 = 11 – 9 = 2 and so on so find. S24 here n = 24, a = 5, d = 2
Therefore, S24 = [2 × 5 + (24 – 1) × 2]
= 12 [10 + 46]
= 672
So, sum of first 24 terms of the list of numbers is 672.

Question 10.
A manufacturer of TV sets produced 600 sets in the third year and 700 sets in the seventh year. Assuming that the production increases uniformly by a fixed numbers every year, find :
(i) the production in the 1st year
(ii) the production in the 10th year
(iii) the total production in first 7 years.
Solution:
(i) Since the production increase uniformly by a fixed number every year, therefore the number of TV sets manufactured in first, second, third, …….. year will form an A.P.
Let us denote the number of TV sets manufactured in the nth year by an.
Then, a3 = 600
and a7 = 700
or a + 2d = 600
and a + 6d = 700
Solving these, we get
d = 25 and a = 550.
Therefore, the number of TV sets produced in the first year in 550.

(ii) Now a10 = a + 9 d
= 550 + 9 × 25
= 550 + 225
= 775
So, the number of TV sets produced in the 10th year is 775.

(iii) Also, S7 = \(\frac{7}{2}\)[2 × 550 + (7 – 1) 25]
= \(\frac{7}{2}\)[1100+150]
= 4375
So, the total production of TV sets in first 7 years is 4375.

Question 11.
Find the sum of numbers divisible by 6 from 1 to 100.
Solution:
The list of positive integers divisible by 6 from 1 to 6 is 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, ….., 96
The above numbers are in AP sequence.
First term a = 6 and
Common difference d = 12 – 6 = 6
Last term an = 96
Sum of terms Sn = ?
Now an = a + (n – 1) × 6
96 = 6 + (n – 1) × 6
⇒ 96 – 6 = (n – 1) × 6
⇒ 90 = (n – 1) × 6
⇒ (n – 1) = \(\frac{90}{6}\) = 15
⇒ n = 15 + 1 = 16
We know that
Sn = \(\frac{n}{2}\)(a + an)
∴ S16 = \(\frac{16}{2}\)(6 + 96)
= \(\frac{16 \times 102}{2}\)
= 8 × 102 = 816
