उत्तर
In the given problem, let us take the first term as a and the common difference as d.
Here, we are given that,
`a_9 = 449` ...............(1)
`a_449 = 9 ` .................(2)
We need to find n
Also, we know,
`a_n = a + ( n- 1) d`
For the 9th term (n = 9),
`a_9 = a + ( 9 -1) d`
449 = a + 8d (Using 1 )
a = 449 - 8 d .................(3)
Similarly, for the 449th term (n = 449),
`a_449 = a + ( 449 - 1 )d`
9 = a + 448d (Using 2 )
a = 9 - 448 d .............(4)
Subtracting (3) from (4), we get,
a -a = ( 9 - 448d) - ( 449 - 8d)
0 = 9 - 448d - 449 + 8d
0 = -440 - 440d
440d = - 440
d = - 1
Now, to find a, we substitute the value of d in (3),
a = 449 - 8 (-1)
a = 449 + 8
a = 457
So, for the given A.P d = - 1 and a = 457
So, let us take the term equal to zero as the nth term. So,
`a_n = 457 + ( n- 1) ( -1 ) `
0 = 457 - n + 1
n = 458
So, n = 458

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)]
