If the 10th term of an AP is 52 and 17th term is 20 more than its 13th term, find the AP

उत्तर
In the given AP, let the first term be a and the common difference be d.
Then, Tn = a + (n-1) d
Now, we have:
T 10 = a + (10 - 1) d
⇒ a +9d =52 ...................(1)
T13 = a +(13-1) d = a +12d ........(2)
T17 = a+ (17 -1) d = a + 16d ..........(3)
But, it is given that T17 = 20 + T13
i.e ., a+ 16d = 20 + a + 12d
⇒ 4d = 20
⇒ d= 5
On substituting d = 5 in (1), we get:
a + 9 × 5 = 52
⇒ a = 7
Thus, a = 7 and d = 5
∴ The terms of the AP are 7,12,17,22,.........

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)]
