उत्तर

The given sequence is 24, 17, 10, 3, ......

Here, t1 = 24, t2 = 17, t3 = 10, t4 = 3

∴ t2 – t1 = 17 – 24 = – 7

t3 – t2 = 10 – 17 = – 7

t4 – t3 = 3 – 10 = – 7

∴ t2 – t1 = t3 – t2 = …= – 7 = d = constant

The difference between two consecutive terms is constant.

∴ The given sequence is an A.P.

tn = a + (n – 1)d

= 24 + (n – 1)(– 7)

= 24 – 7n + 7

= 31 – 7n

How many two-digit numbers are divisible by 5?

Activity :-  Two-digit numbers divisible by 5 are, 10, 15, 20, ......, 95.

Here, d = 5, therefore this sequence is an A.P.

Here, a = 10, d = 5, tn = 95, n = ?

tn = a + (n − 1) `square`

`square` = 10 + (n – 1) × 5

`square` = (n – 1) × 5

`square` = (n – 1)

Therefore n = `square`

There are `square` two-digit numbers divisible by 5


Decide whether 301 is term of given sequence 5, 11, 17, 23, .....

Activity :-  Here, d = `square`, therefore this sequence is an A.P.

a = 5, d = `square`

Let nth term of this A.P. be 301

tn = a + (n – 1) `square`

301 = 5 + (n – 1) × `square`

301 = 6n – 1

n = `302/6` = `square`

But n is not positive integer.

Therefore, 301 is `square` the term of sequence 5, 11, 17, 23, ......
