Question
If (2p – 1), 7, 3p are in AP, find the value of p.
Advertisements
Solution
Let (2p-1) ,7 and 3p be three consecutive terms of an AP.
Then 7 - (2p -1) = 3p -7
⇒ 5 p = 15
⇒ p= 3
∴ When p =3,(2p -1), 7and 3p form three consecutive terms of an AP.

Find the sum of first 1000 positive integers.
Activity :- Let 1 + 2 + 3 + ........ + 1000
Using formula for the sum of first n terms of an A.P.,
Sn = `square`
S1000 = `square/2 (1 + 1000)`
= 500 × 1001
= `square`
Therefore, Sum of the first 1000 positive integer is `square`
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`.
