# EXERCISE 19.2

QUESTION 1

Find :

(i) 10 th term of the A.P.

Sol :

We have

a = 1

d = 4 – 1 = 3

= 28

(ii) 18 th term of the A.P.

Sol :

We have :

(iii) n th term of the A.P.

Sol :

We have :

a = 13

d = 8 – 13 = -5

QUESTION 2

If the sequence is an A.P. show that

Sol :

Let the sequence be an A.P. with the first term being A and the common difference being D .
To prove:

ii)

From (i) and (ii), we get:

LHS = RHS

Hence proved

QUESTION 3

(i) Which term of the A.P. is 248 ?

Sol :

a = 3

d = (8-3) = 5

Let

Hence, 248 is the 50 th term of the given A.P.

(ii) Which term of the A.P. is 0 ?

Sol :

a = 84

d = (80-84) = -4

Let

Hence , 0 is the 22nd term of given A.P

(iii) Which term of the A.P. is 254 ?

Sol :

Here , we have

a = 4

d = (9 – 4) = 5

Let

Hence, 254 is the 51 st term of the given A.P.

QUESTION 4

(i) Is 68 a term of the A.P. ?

Sol :

We have

a = 7

d= (10 – 7) = 3

Let

Since n is not a natural number.So, 68 is not a term of the given A.P.

(ii) Is 302 a term of the A.P. ?

Sol :

We have

a= 3

d = (8 – 3) = 5

Let

Since n is not a natural number. So ,302 is not a term of the given A.P.

QUESTION 5

(i) Which term of the sequence is the first negative term?

Sol :

This is an A.P

Here , we have

a = 24

Let the first negative term be

Then , we have :

Thus, the 34 th term is the first negative term of the given A.P.

(ii) Which term of the sequence is (a) purely real (b) purely imaginary?

Sol :

This is an A.P

Here , we have

Let the real term be

Let nth term be purely real

n = 5

So, 5 th term is purely real.

Let n th term be purely imaginary. Then,

So, 13 th term is purely imaginary.

REASON :complex number is a number which can be represented in the form of ‘z=a+ib’ , where a & b are real number and i is an imaginary number, (which is a square root of -1). If a=0 then z is purely imaginary number but if b=0 then z is purely real number.

QUESTION 6

(i) How many terms are there in the A.P.

Sol :

Here , we have

a = 7

d = (10 – 7) =3

Let there be n terms in the given A.P.

Thus, there are 13 terms in the given A.P.

(ii) How many terms are there in the A.P. ?

Sol :

Here , we have

a = -1

Let there be n terms in the given A.P.

Thus, there are 27 terms in the given A.P.

QUESTION 7

The first term of an A.P. is 5 , the common difference is 3 and the last term is 80 ; find the number of
terms.

Sol :

a=5

d=3

a_{n}=80a_{n}=a+(n-1) d\Rightarrow 80=5+(n-1) 3\Rightarrow 75=(n-1) 3\Rightarrow 25=(n-1)\Rightarrow 26=n

*** QuickLaTeX cannot compile formula:

Thus , there are 26 terms in the given A.P
