Question
The 7th term of the an AP is -4 and its 13th term is -16. Find the AP.

Solution
We have
T7 = a + (n-1) d
⇒ a +6d = -4 ...............(1)
T13 = a +(n-1) d
⇒ a + 12d = -16 .................(2)
On solving (1) and (2), we get
a = 8 and d = - 2
Thus, first term = 8 and common difference = - 2
∴ The term of the AP are 8,6,4,2,.........

For an A.P., If t1 = 1 and tn = 149 then find Sn.

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`.
