KSEEB Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 1 Arithmetic Progressions Additional Questions

Question 4.
If an = 5n – 3, find the common difference
Answer:
an = 5n – 3
a1 = 5(1) – 3 = 5 – 3 = 2
a2 = 5(2) – 3 = 10 – 3 = 7
d = a2 – a1 = 7 – 2 = 5
common difference = 5

Question 5.
Find the 9th term from the end (towards the first term) of the A.P 5, 9, 13, ….185
Answer:
a = 185, d = – 4 & 1 = 5
a9 = a + (n – 1)d
a9= 1 + (9 – 1) – 4
a9 = 185 + 8x – 4
= 185 – 32
a9 = 153

Question 6.
For what value of p are 2p + 1, 13, 5p – 3, three consecutive terms of a AP?
Answer:
a2 – a1, = a3 – a2
13 – (2p + 1) = 5p – 3 – 13
13 – 2p – 1 = 5p – 16
12 + 16 = 5p + 2p
7p = 28

Sn-1 = Sn – an
= 399 – 20
Sn-1 = 379

Question 9.
In an AP, if d = – 4, n = 7, an = 4 then find a.
Answer:
an = a + (n – 1)d
4 = a + (7 – 1) – 4

a = 4 + 24
a = 28

III. Long Answer Questions:

Question 1.
Find the number of terms in the A.P, 100, 96, 92,….., 12
Answer:
100, 96, 92,………, 12
a = 100 d = a2 – a1, d = 96 – 100 = – 4
an = 12 & n = ?
an = a + (n – 1)d
12 = 100 + (n – 1)d
12 – 100 = (n – 1) x – 4
– 88 = (n – 1) x – 4
\(\frac{-88}{-4}\) = n – 1
n – 1 = 22
n = 22 + 1
n = 23

Question 2.
The angles of a triangle are in A.P if the smallest angle is 50°, find the other two angles.
Answer:
Let the smallest angle = 50°
Three angles of AP are a, a + d, a + 2d – Sum of the angles of a triangle = 180° a + a + d + a + 2d = 180°
50° + 50° + d + 50° + 2d = 180°
3d = 180°- 150°
3d = 30°
KSEEB Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 1 Arithmetic Progressions Additional Questions 5
d = 10°

Required angles a = 50°
a + d = 50° + 10° = 60°
a + 2d = 50 + 2(10) = 50 + 20 = 70°

Question 3.
An A.P consists of 50 terms of which 3rd term is 12 and last term is 106. Find the 29th term.
Answer:
n = 50
a3 = 12
a + 2d = 12
a = 12 – 12d → (1)
a = 106
a29 = ?
an = a + (n – 1) d
106 = 12 – 2d + (50 – 1)d
106 – 12 = – 2d + 49d
94 = 47d
KSEEB Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 1 Arithmetic Progressions Additional Questions 6
d = 2
Put d = 2 is eqn (1)
a = 12 – 2 (2)
a = 12 – 4
a = 8

Question 4.
The sum of 4th and 8th terms of an A.P is 24 and the sum of 6th and 10th terms of the same A.P is 44. Find the first three terms.
Answer:
Sum of 4th and 8th terms = 24
a4 + a8 = 24
a + 3d + a + 7d = 24
2a + 10d = 24
÷ by 2 on both the sides
a + 5d = 12 → (1)
Sum of 6th and 10th terms = 44
a6 + a10 = 44
a + 5d + a + 9d = 44
2a + 14d = 44 by 2
a + 7d = 22 → (2)
Subtract eqn (1) & (2)
a + 5d = 12
a + 7d = 22
(-) (-) (-)
________
– 2d = – 10
+ d = \(\frac{10}{2}\) = 5

Put d = 5 is eqn (1)
a = 12 – 5d
a = 12 – 5(5)
= 12 – 25 a = – 13
required terms a, a + d, a + 2d…….
– 13, – 13,+ 5, – 13 + 2(5)
– 13,- 8, – 3

Question 5.
The ratio of 7th to 3rd term of an A.P is 12 : 5 find the ratio of 13th to 4th term
Answer:
\(\frac{a_{7}}{a_{3}}=\frac{12}{5}\)
\(\frac{a+6 d}{a+2 d}=\frac{12}{5}\)
5(a + 6d) = 12 (a + 2d)
5a + 30d= 12a + 24d
30d – 24d = 12a – 5a
6d = 7a
d = \(\frac{7}{6}\) a
The ratio of 13th to 4th term

Question 6.
A company employed 400 persons in the year 2001 and each year increased by 35 persons. In which year the number of employees in the company will be 785?
Answer:
2001 + 2002 ………………..
400, 435, 470, ………….. 785
a = 400, d = a2 – a1 an = 785, n = ? d = 435 – 400
d = 35
an = a + (n – 1)d
785 = 400 + (n – 1) 35
785 – 400 = (n – 1) × 35
385 = (n – 1) x 35
n – 1 = \(\frac{385}{35}\)
n – 1 = 11
n = 11 + 1
n = 12
Employes in the company will be 785 reach in year 2012.

Question 7.
If the pth term of an A.P is q and the qth term is p. Prove that the nth term equal to (p + q – n)
Answer:
Let a be the first term and ‘d’ the common difference
ap = a + (p – 1)d and aq = a + (q – 1)d
Now ap = q and aq = p given
a + (p – 1)d = q → (1)
a + (q – 1)d = p → (2)
On subtracting (1) from (2) we get
KSEEB Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 1 Arithmetic Progressions Additional Questions 8

Putting d = – 1 in the eqn (i) we get a + (p – 1 ) x – 1 = q
a – p + 1 = q a = p + q – 1
∴ nth term = a + (n – 1)d
= p + q – 1 + (n – 1) x – 1
= p + q – 1 + n + 1
nth term = p + q – n
Hence it is proved

Question 8.

Answer:
Let the numbers be a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d
a + 4d, a + 5d, a + 6d
6d + 15d = 345 – 3
2a + 5d = 115 → (1)
the difference b/w first term and last term is 55
a6 – a1 = 55
a + 5d – a = 55
5d = 5
d = \(\frac{55}{5}\)
d = 11
Put d = 11 in eqn (1)
2a + 5d = 115
2a + 55 = 115
2a = 115 – 55
2a = 60

= \(\frac{1}{4}\) (a + 5d + a + 6d + a + 7d + a + 8d + a + 9d)
5a + 10d = \(\frac{1}{4}\) (5a + 35d)
5(2) + 10d = \(\frac{1}{4}\) [(5 x 2) + 35d]

KSEEB Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 1 Arithmetic Progressions Additional Questions 12
4(10 + 10d) = 10 + 35d
40 + 40d = 10 + 35d

Question 13.
The third term of an A.P is 8 and the ninth term of the A.P exceeds three times the third term by 2 find the sum of its first 19 terms.
Answer:
a3 = 8 (given)
a + 2d = 8 → (1)
a9 = 3(a3) + 2 (given)

Question 16.
The common difference between any two consecutive Interior angles of a polygon is 5°. If the smallest angle is 120°. Find the number of sides of the polygon?
Answer:
Let the AP be 120°, 125°…… with
a = 120°and d = 5
The number of sides in a polygon is the sum of its interior angles. Therefore (2n – 4)90°
= 180n – 360°
KSEEB Solutions for Class 10 Maths Chapter 1 Arithmetic Progressions Additional Questions 16
2 [180n- 360] = n [240 + 5n – 5]
360n – 720 = n (235 + 5n)
360n – 720 = 235n + 5n2
5n2 + 235n – 360n + 720 = 0
5n2 – 125n + 720 = 0 + by 5
n2-25n + 144 = 0
n2 – 16n – 9n + 144 0
n(n – 16) – 9(n – 16) = 0
(n – 16) (n – 9) = 0
n – 16 = 0, and n – 9 = 0
n = 16 and n = 9
∴ n = 9
∴ number of sides is 9 so it is a nanogon.
