Short Ansser type Questions

Question. How many terms of the AP 27, 24, 21, … should be taken so that their sum is zero.
Answer : 
The first term (a) = 27, The sum of first n terms (Sn) = 0 Common difference of the A.P. (d) = a2 – a1 = 24 – 27 = -3. On substituting the values in Sn, we get 0 = 𝑛/2[2(27) + (n − 1)( − 3)] , 0 = (n)[54 + (n – 1)(-3)] , 0 = (n)[54 – 3n + 3] ⟹ 0 = n [57 – 3n] Further we have, n = 0 Or, 57 – 3n = 0 ⟹ 3n = 57 ⟹ n = 57/3 = 19. The number of terms cannot be zero. Hence n=19

Question. Check whether -150 is a term of the AP: 11,8, 5, 2, …
Answer : 
11, 8, 5, 2, …-150, a = 11, d = 8- 11 = -3, an = -150, 11 + (n – 1) (-3) = -150, 11 – 3n + 3 = -150 , -3n + 14 = -150 , -3n = -150 – 14, -3n = -164, 3n = 164 ∴ n = 164/3,
Here value of ‘n’ is not a positive integer. Hence -150 is not a term of the given AP

Question. The 4th term of an AP is zero. Prove that 25th term is three times its 11th term.
Answer : 
a + 3d = 0 or a = -3d…(1)
,a25 = a + 24d = -3d + 24d = 21d …(2)
a11 = a + 10d = -3d + 10d = 7d ….(3)
From (2) and (3), we have 21d= 3x7d , a25 = 3 x a11 Hence proved.

Question. How many two-digit numbers are divisible by 3?
Answer : 
The Required A.P = 12, 15 ,18 .......... 99 ,First term (a) = 12, Last term = 99, Common difference = 3, nth term = a+(n-1)d,. Putting the values in the formula:=> 99 = 12+(n-1)3, 99-12 = 3(n-1), 87 = 3(n-1), 87/3= n-1, 29 = n-1, 29+1 = n, n = 30

Question. Which term of the AP. 20, 17, 14, .........; is the first negative term?
Answer : 
an <0 , 20 + (n-1)-3<0 ,20-3n+3<0,23-3n<0, 23<3n ,23/3<n, 7.6<n. Next natural number greater than 7.6 is 8.Hence 8th term is the first negative number.

Question. Which term of the AP 3,15, 27, 39, … is 132 more than its 54th term?
Answer : 
a1 = 3, a2= 15, d = 15 - 3 = 12, 54th term of the AP is a₅₄ = a + (54 - 1)d = 3 + 53 ×12 = 639, Let nth term of AP be 132 more than 54th term ,We get, 132 + 639 = 771, aₙ = 771, 771 = 3 + (n - 1)12, 768 = (n - 1)12, (n - 1) = 64, n = 65, Therefore, the 65th term will be 132 more than the 54th term

Question. The sum of first n terms of an AP is given by Sn = 2n2+n. Then find its nth term .
Answer : 
The sum of the first n terms of an A.P. is given by Sn= 2n2 +n ,
At n=1 , S1= 2x12+1= 3 , At n=2 , S2= 2x22+2=10 ,
Since a1=S1 ,S2=a1+a2,
So , a1=3 ,a1+a2=10,⇒3+a2=10 so a2=7 ,d= 7-3=4,an= 3+(n-1)4=4n-1

Question. Find the sum of all odd numbers between 10 and 200.
Answer : 
Odd numbers between 10 and 200 are 11,13,15....199. a1 = 11, Last term l = 199, d = 2, an = a + (n-1) d, 199 = 11 + (n - 1) 2,199 - 11 = (n - 1) 2,188 = (n - 1) 2, 94 = n – 1,95 = n
Sum of n terms = 𝑛/2(a + l), =95/2 (11 + 199)= 9975

Question. If the sum of first n terms of an AP is n2 find the 5th term.
Answer : 
Given Sn = n²,we know , an = Sn - S(n -1), a5 = S5 - S(5 -1)= S5 – S4= 52-42= 25-16=9

Question. Find the middle term of the AP -11, -7, -3, …, 45.
Answer : 
Given AP is -11,-7,-3,......,45
Here a = -11, d = -7- -11=-7+11=4 and last term l = 45
45 = (-11) + (n - 1)4, 56 = (n - 1)4 , n - 1 = 14,
Therefore, n = 15 That is there are 15 terms.
Hence 8th term is the middle most term of the given AP a8 = a + 7d = (-11) + 7(4) = 17.
Thus the middle term is 17

Question. If an AP has 8 as the first term, -5 as the common difference and its first 3 terms are 8, A, B, then find A+B.
Answer : 
The first term of the AP =8,Common difference d = -5
Given that A is the second term, So, A = 8+(-5) = 8-5 = 3
Given that B is the third term So, B= 3+(-5) = 3-5 = -2
So (A+B) = 3+(-2) = 3-2 = 1
