Question
If the 9th term of an A.P. is zero then show that the 29th term is twice the 19th term?

Solution
It is given that,
t9 = 0
Now,
tn = a + (n - 1)d
t9 = a + (9 - 1)d
⇒ 0 = a + 8d
⇒ a = -8d ...(1)
t29 = a + (29 - 1)d
= -8d + 28d
= 20d ...(2)
t19 = a + (19 - 1)d
= -8d + 18d
= 10d ...(3)
From (2) and (3), we get
t29 = 2t19
Hence, the 29th term is twice the 19th term.

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`.
