Question 2.

Solution:

Question 3.

Solution:

Question 4.

Solution:

S_n = 3n² + 6n

Question 5.

Solution:

S_n = 3n² – n

S₁ = 3(1)² – 1 = 3 – 1 = 2

S₂ = 3(2)² – 2 = 12 – 2 = 10

T₂ = 10 – 2 = 8 and

T₁ = 2

(i) First term = 2

(ii) Common difference = 8 – 2 = 6

T_n = a + (n – 1) d = 2 + (n – 1) x 6

= 2 + 6n – 6 = 6n – 4

Question 42.

Solution:

In the school, there are 12 classes, class 1 to 12 and each class has two sections.

Each class plants double of the class

i.e. class 1 plants two plant, class 2 plants 4 plants, class 3 plants 6 plants, and so on.

So, total plants will be for each class each sections = 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 … + 24

Here, a = 2, d = 2, l = 24, n = 12



Each class has. two sections.

Plants will also be doubt

i.e. Total plants = 156 x 2 = 312

Question 43.

Solution:

In a potato race,

Bucket is at 5 m from first potato and then the distance between the two potatoes is 3m.

There are 10 potatoes.

The player, pick potato and put it in the bucket one by one.

Total distance in m to be covered, for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, … potato.

Question 44.

Solution:

Total number of trees = 25

Distance between them = 5 m in a line.

There is a water tank which is 10 m from the first tree.

A gardener waters these plants separately.

Total distance for going and coming back

Question 45.

Solution:

Total sum = ₹ 700

Number of cash prizes = 7

Each prize in ₹ 20 less than its preceding prize.

Let first prize = ₹ x

Then second prize = ₹ (x – 20)

Third prize = ₹ (x – 40) and so on.

Question 46.

Solution:

Total savings = ₹ 33000

Total period = 10 months

Each month, a man saved ₹ 100 more than its preceding of month.

Let he saves ₹ x in the first month.

Question 47.

Solution:

Total debt to be paid = ₹ 36000

No. of monthly installments = 40

After paying 30 installments, (frac { 1 }{ 3 }) of his debt left

i.e. ₹ 36000 x (frac { 1 }{ 3 }) = ₹ 12000

and amount paid = ₹ 36000 – ₹ 12000 = ₹ 24000

Monthly installments are in AP.

Let first installment = x

and common difference = d

Question 48.

Solution:

A contractor will pay the penalty for not doing the work in time.

For the first day = ₹ 200

For second day = ₹ 250

For third day = ₹ 300 and so on

The work was delayed for 30 days

Total penalty, he paid

200 + 250 + 300 + ….. to 30 terms

Here, a = 200, d = 50, n = 30

Total sum = (frac { n }{ 2 }) [2a + (n – 1) d]

= (frac { 30 }{ 2 }) [2 x 200 + (30 – 1) x 50]

= 15 [400 + 29 x 50]

= 15 [400 + 1450]

= 15 x 1850 = ₹ 27750

Question 49.

Solution:

Child will put 5 rupee on 1st day, 10 rupee (2 x 5 rupee)

on 2nd day, 15 rupee (3 x 5 rupee) on 3rd day etc.

Total saving = 190 coins = 190 x 5 = 950 rupee

The above problem can be written as Arithmetic Progression series

5, 10, 15, 20, ……

with a = 5, d = 5, S_n = 950

Let n be the last day when piggy bank become full.



⇒ n (n + 20) – 19 (n + 20) = 0

⇒ (n + 20) (n – 19) = 0

⇒ n + 20 = 0 or n – 19 = 0

⇒ n = -20 or n = 19

cannot be negative, hence n = 19

She can put money for 19 days.

Total saving is 950 rupees.
