उत्तर
`(x - y)/(x + y),(3x - 2y)/(x + y), (5x - 3y)/(x + y)`, .....to n terms
Number of terms (n) = n
Number of terms (n) = n = `((x - y)/(x + y))`
Common difference of the A.P. (d) = `a_2 - a_1`
`= ((3x - 2)/(x + y)) - (x - y)/(x + y)`
`= ((3x - 2y) - (x - y))/(x +y)`
`= (3x - 2y - x + y)/(x + y)`
`= (2x - y)/(x - y)`
So using the formula we get
`S_n = n/2[2((x - y)/(x + y)) + (n - 1)((2x - y )/(x + y))]`
`= (n/2) [((2x - 2y)/(x + y)) + (n(2x - y)- 2x + y)/(x + y)]`
`= (n/2)[(2x -2y)/(x + y) + (((n (2x - y) - 2x + y))/(x + y))]`
Now, on further solving the above equation we get,
`= (n/2)((2x - 2y + n(2x - y) - 2x + y)/(x + y))`
`= (n/2) ((n(2x - y) - y)/(x + y))`
Therefore, the sum of first n terms for the given A.P. is `(n/2) ((n(2x - y) - y)/(x + y))`

In a school, students thought of planting trees in and around the school to reduce air pollution. It was decided that the number of trees, that each section of each class will plant will be the same as the class, in which they are studying, e.g., a section of class I will plant 1 tree, a section of class II will plant 2 trees, and so on till class XII.

In a potato race, a bucket is placed at the starting point, which is 5 m from the first potato and other potatoes are placed 3 m apart in a straight line. There are ten potatoes in the line.
A competitor starts from the bucket, picks up the nearest potato, runs back with it, drops it in the bucket, runs back to pick up the next potato, runs to the bucket to drop it in, and she continues in the same way until all the potatoes are in the bucket. What is the total distance the competitor has to run?
[Hint: to pick up the first potato and the second potato, the total distance (in metres) run by a competitor is 2 × 5 + 2 ×(5 + 3)]
