Find the sum of the following arithmetic series:
34 + 32 + 30 +...+10
Advertisements
Solution
The given arithmetic series is 34 + 32 + 30 +.....+10.
Here, a = 34,d = 32-34 = -2 and l = 10.
Let the given series contain n terms. Then,
an = 10
⇒ 34 + (n-1) × (-2) = 10 [an = a+ (n-1) d]
⇒ - 2n + 36 = 10
⇒ -2n = 10-36=-26
⇒ n= 13
∴ Required sum` 13/2 xx (34+10) [ s_n = n/2 ( a+l)]`
= `13/2 xx 44 `
= 286

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`
