If the pth term of an AP is q and its qth term is p then show that its (p + q)th term is zero

उत्तर
In the given AP, let the first be a and the common difference be d.
Then , Tn = a +(n-1) d
⇒Tp = a+(p-1) d = q ...............(1)
⇒Tq = a + (q-1) d = p ...........(2)
On subtracting (i) from (ii), we get:
(q-p) d= (p-q)
⇒ d= -1
Putting d = - 1 in (i), we get:
a= (p+q -1)
Thus ,a = (p+q -1) and d = -1
Now , T p+q = a + (p+q-1)d
= (p+q-1) +(p+q-1)(-1)
= (p+q-1)- (p+q-1) =0
Hence, the ( p+q)th term is 0 (zero).

Find the sum of natural numbers between 1 to 140, which are divisible by 4.
Activity: Natural numbers between 1 to 140 divisible by 4 are, 4, 8, 12, 16,......, 136
Here d = 4, therefore this sequence is an A.P.
a = 4, d = 4, tn = 136, Sn = ?
tn = a + (n – 1)d
`square` = 4 + (n – 1) × 4
`square` = (n – 1) × 4
n = `square`
Now,
Sn = `"n"/2["a" + "t"_"n"]`
Sn = 17 × `square`
Sn = `square`
Therefore, the sum of natural numbers between 1 to 140, which are divisible by 4 is `square`.
