Solution:
i. The given sequence is 2, 4, 6, 8,…
Here, t1 = 2, t2 = 4, t3 = 6, t4 = 8
∴ t2 – t1 = 4 – 2 = 2
t3 – t2 = 6 – 4 = 2
t4 – t3 = 8 – 6 = 2
∴ t2 – t1 =  t3 – t2 = … = 2 = d = constant
The difference between two consecutive terms is constant.
∴ The given sequence is an A.P. and common difference (d) = 2.

iii. The given sequence is -10, -6, -2, 2,…
Here, t1 = -10, t2 = – 6, t3 = -2, t4 = 2
∴ t2 – t1 = -6 – (-10) = -6 + 10 = 4
t3 – t2 = -2 -(-6) = -2 + 6 = 4
t4 – t3 = 2 – (-2) = 2 + 2 = 4
∴ t2 – t1 = t3 – t2 = … = 4 = d = constant
The difference between two consecutive terms is constant.
∴ The given sequence is an A.P. and common difference (d) = 4.

iv. The given sequence is 0.3, 0.33, 0.333,…
Here, t1 = 0.3, t2 = 0.33, t3 = 0.333
∴ t2 -t1 = 0.33 – 0.3 = 0.03
t3 – t2 = 0.333 – 0.33 = 0.003
∴ t2 – t1 ≠ t3 – t2
The difference between two consecutive terms is not constant.
∴ The given sequence is not an A.P.

v. The given sequence is 0, -4, -8, -12,…
Here, t1 = 0, t2 = -4, t3 = -8, t4 = -12
∴ t2 – t1 = -4 – 0 = -4
t3 – t2 = -8 – (-4) = -8 + 4 = -4
t4 – t3 = -12 – (-8) = -12 + 8 = -4
∴ t2 – t1 = t3 – t2 = … = —4 = d = constant
The difference between two consecutive terms is constant.
∴ The given sequence is an A.P. and common difference (d) = -4.

Solution:

i. The given sequence is
-12, -5,2, 9, 16, 23,30,…
Here, t1 = -12, t2 = -5, t3 = 2, t4 = 9
∴ t2 – t1 – 5 – (-12) – 5 + 12 = 7
t3 – t2 = 2 – (-5) = 2 + 5 = 7
∴ t4 – t3 – 9 – 2 = 7
∴ t2 – t1 = t3 – t2 = … = 7 = d = constant
The difference between two consecutive terms is constant.
∴ The given sequence is an A.P.

ii. tn = a + (n – 1)d
∴ t20 = -12 + (20 – 1)7 …[∵a = -12, d = 7]
= -12 + 19 × 7
= -12 + 133
∴ t20 = 121
∴ 20th term of the given A.P. is 121.

Question 3.
Given Arithmetic Progression is 12, 16, 20, 24, … Find the 24th term of this progression.
Solution:

The given A.P. is 12, 16, 20, 24,…
Here, a = 12, d = 16 – 12 = 4 Since,
tn = a + (n – 1)d
∴ t24 = 12 + (24 – 1)4
= 12 + 23 × 4
= 12 + 92
∴ t24 = 104
∴ 24th term of the given A.P. is 104.

Question 4.
Find the 19th term of the following A.P. 7,13,19,25…..
Solution:

The given A.P. is 7, 13, 19, 25,…
Here, a = 7, d = 13 – 7 = 6
Since, tn = a + (n – 1)d
∴ t19 = 7 + (19 – 1)6
= 7 + 18 × 6
= 7 + 108
∴ t19 = 115
∴ 19th term of the given A.P. is 115.

Question 5.
Find the 27th term of the following A.P. 9,4,-1,-6,-11,…
Solution:

The given A.P. is 9, 4, -1, -6, -11,…
Here, a = 9, d = 4- 9 = -5
Since, tn = a + (n – 1)d
∴ t27 = 9 + (27 – 1)(-5)
= 9 + 26 × (-5)
= 9 – 130
∴ t27 = -121
∴ 27th term of the given A.P. is -121.

Question 6.
Find how many three digit natural numbers are divisible by 5.
Solution:

The three digit natural numbers divisible by
5 are 100, 105, 110, …,995
The above sequence is an A.P.
∴ a = 100, d = 105 – 100 = 5
Let the number of terms in the A.P. be n.
Then, tn = 995
Since, tn = a + (n – 1)d
∴ 995 = 100 +(n – 1)5
∴ 995 – 100 = (n – 1)5
∴ 895 = (n – 1)5
∴ n – 1 = 8955
∴ n – 1 = 179
∴ n = 179 + 1 = 180
∴ There are 180 three digit natural numbers which are divisible by 5.

Question 7.
The 11th term and the 21st term of an A.P. are 16 and 29 respectively, then find the 41st term of that A.P.
Solution:

Bor an A.P., let a be the first term and d be the common difference,
t11 = 16, t21 = 29 …[Given]
tn = a + (n – 1)d
∴ t11, = a + (11 – 1)d
∴ 16 = a + 10d
i.e. a + 10d = 16 …(i)
Also, t21 = a + (21 – 1)d
∴ 29 = a + 20d
i.e. a + 20d = 29 …(ii)
Subtracting equation (i) from (ii), we get a

Question 8.
8. 11, 8, 5, 2, … In this A.P. which term is number-151?
Solution:

The given A.P. is 11, 8, 5, 2,…
Here, a = 11, d = 8 – 11 = -3
Let the nth term of the given A.P. be -151.
Then, tn = – 151
Since, tn = a + (n – 1)d
∴ -151= 11 + (n – 1)(-3)
∴ -151 – 11 =(n – 1)(-3)
∴ -162 = (n – 1)(-3)
∴ n – 1 = −162−3
∴ n – 1 = 54
∴ n = 54 + 1 = 55
∴ 55th term of the given A.P. is -151.

Question 9.
In the natural numbers from 10 to 250, how many are divisible by 4?
Solution:

The natural numbers from 10 to 250 divisible
by 4 are 12, 16, 20, …,248
The above sequence is an A.P.
∴ a = 12, d = 16 – 12 = 4
Let the number of terms in the A.P. be n.
Then, tn = 248
Since, tn = a + (n – 1)d
∴ 248 = 12 + (n – 1)4
∴ 248 – 12 = (n – 1)4
∴ 236 = (n – 1)4
∴ n – 1 = 2364
∴ n – 1 = 59
∴ n = 59 + 1 = 60
∴ There are 60 natural numbers from 10 to 250 which are divisible by 4.

Question 10.
In an A.P. 17th term is 7 more than its 10th term. Find the common difference.
Solution:

For an A.P., let a be the first term and d be the common difference.
According to the given condition,
t17 = t10 + 7
∴ a + (17 – 1)d = a + (10 – 1)d + 7 …[∵ tn = a + (n – 1)d]
∴ a + 16d = a + 9d + 7
∴ a + 16d – a – 9d = 7
∴ 7d = 7
∴ d = 77 = 1
∴ The common difference is 1.

Question 1.
Kabir’s mother keeps a record of his height on each birthday. When he was one year old, his height was 70 cm, at 2 years he was 80 cm tall and 3 years he was 90 cm tall. His aunt Meera was studying in the 10th class. She said, “it seems like Kabir’s height grows in Arithmetic Progression”. Assuming this, she calculated how tall Kabir will be at the age of 15 years when he is in 10th! She was shocked to find it. You too assume that Kabir grows in A.P. and find out his height at the age of 15 years. (Textbook pg. no. 63)
Solution:

Height of Kabir when he was 1 year old = 70 cm Height of Kabir when he was 2 years old = 80 cm
Height of Kabir when he was 3 years old = 90 cm The heights of Kabir form an A.P.
Here, a = 70, d = 80 – 70 = 10
We have to find height of Kabir at the age of 15years i.e. t15.
Now, tn = a + (n – 1)d
∴ t15 = 70 + (15 – 1)10
= 70 + 14 × 10 = 70 + 140
∴ t15 = 210
∴ The height of Kabir at the age of 15 years will be 210 cm.

Question 2.
Is 5, 8, 11, 14, …. an A.P.? If so then what will be the 100th term? Check whether 92 is in this A.P.? Is number 61 in this A.P.? (Textbook pg. no, 62)
Solution:

i. The given sequence is
5, 8,11,14,…
Here, t1 = 5, t2 = 8, t3 = 11, t4 = 14
∴ t2 – t1 = 8 – 5 = 3
t3 – t= 11 – 8 = 3
t4 – t3 = 14 – 11 = 3
∴ t2 – t1 = t3 – t2 = t4 – t3 = 3 = d = constant
The difference between two consecutive terms is constant
∴ The given sequence is an A.P.

ii. tn = a + (n – 1)d
∴ t100 = 5 + (100 – 1)3 …[∵ a = 5, d = 3]
= 5 + 99 × 3
= 5 + 297
∴ t100 = 302
∴ 100th term of the given A.P. is 302.

iii. To check whether 92 is in given A.P., let tn = 92
∴ tn = a + (n – 1)d
∴ 92 = 5 + (n – 1)3
∴ 92 = 5 + 3n – 3
∴ 92 = 2 + 3n
∴ 90 = 3n
∴ n = 903 = 30
∴ 92 is the 30th term of given A.P.

iv. To check whether 61 is in given A.P., let tn = 61
61 = 5 + (n – 1)3
∴ 61 = 5 + 3n – 3
∴ 61 = 2 + 3n
∴ 61 – 2 = 3n
∴ 59 = 3n
∴ n = 593
But, n is natural number 59
∴ n ≠ 593
∴ 61 is not in given A.P.

Find the sum of all even numbers between 1 and 350.
Solution:

The even numbers between 1 and 350 are 2, 4, 6,…, 348.
The above sequence is an A.P.
∴ a = 2, d = 4 – 2 = 2, tn = 348
Since, tn = a + (n – 1)d
∴ 348 = 2 + (n – 1)2
∴ 348 – 2 = (n – 1)2
∴ 346 = (n – 1)2
∴ n – 1 = 3462
∴ n – 1 = 173
∴ n = 173 + 1 = 174
Now, Sn = n2 [2a + (n – 1)d]
∴ S174 = 1742 [2 (2) + (174 – 1)2]
= 87(4 + 173 × 2)
= 87(4 + 346)
= 87 × 350
∴ S174 = 30450
∴ The sum of all even numbers between 1 and 350 is 30450.

For an A.P., let a be the first term and d be the common difference.
t19 = 52, t38 = 128 …[Given]
Since, tn = a + (n – 1)d
∴ t19 = a + (19 – 1)d
∴ 52 = a + 18d
i.e. a + 18d = 52 …(i)
Also, t38 = a + (38 – 1)d
∴ 128 = a + 37d
i.e. a + 37d = 128 …(ii)
Adding equations (i) and (ii), we get

Arithmetic Practice Set Question 7.
In an A.P. sum of three consecutive terms is 27 and their product is 504, find the terms. (Assume that three consecutive terms in A.P. are a – d, a, a + d.)
Solution:

Let the three consecutive terms in an A.P. be
a – d, a and a + d.
According to the first condition,
a – d + a + a + d = 27
∴ 3a = 27
∴ a = 273
∴ a = 9 ….(i)
According to the second condition,
(a – d) a (a + d) = 504
∴ a(a2 – d2) = 504
∴ 9(a2 – d2) = 504 …[From (i)]
∴ 9(81 – d2) = 504
∴ 81 – d2 = 5049
∴ 81 – d2 = 56
∴ d2 = 81 – 56
∴ d2 = 25
Taking square root of both sides, we get
d = ± 5
When d = 5 and a =9,
a – d 9 – 5 = 4
a = 9
a + d 9 + 5 = 14
When d = -5 and a = 9,
a – d = 9 – (-5) = 9 + 5 = 14
a = 9
a + d = 9 – 5 = 4
∴ The three consecutive terms are 4, 9 and 14 or 14, 9 and 4.

Find four consecutive terms in an A.P. whose sum is 12 and sum of 3rd and 4th term is 14. (Assume the four consecutive terms in A.P. are a – d, a, a + d, a + 2d.)
Solution:

Let the four consecutive terms in an A.P. be
a – d, a, a + d and a + 2d.
According to the first condition,
a – d + a + a + d + a + 2d = 12
∴ 4a + 2d =12
∴ 2(2a + d) = 12
∴ 2a + d = 122
∴ 2a + d = 6 …(i)
According to the second condition,
a + d + a + 2d = 14
∴ 2a + 3d = 14 …(ii)
Subtracting equation (i) from (ii), we get

For an A.P., let a be the first term and d be the common difference.
t9 = 0 …[Given]
Since, tn = a + (n – 1)d
∴ t9 = a + (9 – 1)d
∴ 0 = a + 8d
∴ a = -8d …(i)
Also, t19 = a + (19 – 1)d
= a + 18d
= -8d + 18d … [From (i)]
∴ t19 = 10d …(ii)
and t29 = a + (29 – 1)d
= a + 28d
= -8d + 28d …[From (i)]
∴ t29 = 20d = 2(10d)
∴ t29 = 2(t19) … [From (ii)]
∴ The 29th term is twice the 19th term.

10 Class Math Part 1 Practice Set 3.3 Question 1.
Find the sum of all odd numbers from 1 to 150. (Textbook pg, no. 71)
Solution:

Odd numbers from 1 to 150 are 1,3, 5, 7,…, 149
Here, difference between any two consecutive terms is 2.
∴ It is an A.P.
∴ a = 1, d = 2
Let us find how many odd numbers are there from 1 to 150, i.e. find the value of n if
tn = 149
tn = a + (n – 1)d
∴ 149 = 1 + (n – 1)2
∴ 149 – 1 = (n – 1)2
∴ 1482 = n – 1
∴ 74 = n – 1
∴ n = 74 + 1 = 75

ii. Now, let’s find the sum of 75 numbers
i. e. 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + … + 149

Solution:

Maharashtra Board Class 10 Maths Solutions Chapter 3 Arithmetic Progression Practice Set 3.4 1
∴ Sanika’s total saving on 31st December 2016 would be ₹ 70455.

Question 2.
A man borrows ₹ 8000 and agrees to repay with a total interest of ₹ 1360 in 12 monthly instalments. Each instalment being less than the preceding one by ₹ 40. Find the amount of the first and last instalment.
Solution:

i. The instalments are in A.P.
Amount repaid in 12 instalments (S12)
= Amount borrowed + total interest
= 8000 + 1360
∴ S12 = 9360
Number of instalments (n) = 12
Each instalment is less than the preceding one by ₹ 40.
∴ d = -40
Maharashtra Board Class 10 Maths Solutions Chapter 3 Arithmetic Progression Practice Set 3.4 2
∴ Amount of the first instalment is ₹ 1000 and that of the last instalment is ₹ 560.

Question 3.
Sachin invested in a national saving certificate scheme. In the first year he invested ₹ 5000, in the second year ₹ 7000, in the third year ₹ 9000 and so on. Find the total amount that he invested in 12 years.
Solution:

i. Amount invested by Sachin in each year are as follows:
5000, 7000, 9000, …
The above sequence is an A.P.
∴ a = 5000, d = 7000 – 5000 = 2000, n = 12

Maharashtra Board Class 10 Maths Solutions Chapter 3 Arithmetic Progression Practice Set 3.4 3
∴ The total amount invested by Sachin in 12 years is ₹ 1,92,000.

Question 4.
There is an auditorium with 27 rows of seats. There are 20 seats in the first row, 22 seats in the second row, 24 seats in the third row and so on. Find the number of seats in the 15th row and also find how many total seats are there in the auditorium?
Solution:

i. The number of seats arranged row-wise are as follows:
20, 22, 24,
The above sequence is an A.P.
∴ a = 20, d = 22 – 20 = 2, n = 27

ii. tn = a + (n – 1)d
∴ t15 = 20 + (15 – 1)2
= 20 + 14 × 2
= 20 + 28
∴ t15 = 48
∴ The number of seats in the 15th row is 48.
Maharashtra Board Class 10 Maths Solutions Chapter 3 Arithmetic Progression Practice Set 3.4 4
∴ Total seats in the auditorium are 1242.

Question 5.
Kargil’s temperature was recorded in a week from Monday to Saturday. All readings were in A.P. The sum of temperatures of Monday and Saturday was 5°C more than sum of temperatures of Tuesday and Saturday. If temperature of Wednesday was -30° Celsius then find the temperature on the other five days.
Solution:

Let the temperatures from Monday to Saturday in A.P. be
a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d, a + 4d, a + 5d.
According to the first condition,
(a) + (a + 5d) = (a + d) + (a + 5d) + 5°
∴ d = -5°
According to the second condition,
a + 2d = -30°
∴ a + 2(-5°) = -30°
∴ a – 10° = -30°
∴ a = -30° + 10° = -20°
∴ a + d = -20° – 5° = – 25°
a + 3d = -20° + 3(- 5°) = -20° – 15° = -35°
a + 4d = -20° + 4(-5°) = -20° – 20° = -40°
a + 5d = -20° + 5(-5°) = -20° – 25° = -45°
∴ The temperatures on the other five days are
-20°C, -25° C, -35° C, -40° C and -45° C.

Question 6.
On the world environment day tree plantation programme was arranged on a land which is triangular in shape. Trees are planted such that in the first row there is one tree, in the second row there are two trees, in the third row three trees and so on. Find the total number of trees in the 25 rows.
Solution:

i. The number of frees planted row-wise are as follows:
1,2,3,…
The above sequence is an A.P.
∴ a = 1, d = 2 – 1 = 1,n = 25
Maharashtra Board Class 10 Maths Solutions Chapter 3 Arithmetic Progression Practice Set 3.4 5
∴ The total number of trees in 25 rows are 325.
