Question

Which term of the AP 3,8, 13,18,…. Will be 55 more than its 20th term?

Advertisements

Solution

Here, a = 3 and d = (8-3) = 5
The 20th  term is given by 

`T_20 = a + (20-1) d = a+ 19d = 3+ 19xx5 = 98`
∴ Required term = (98 + 55)  = 153

Let this be the nth   term.

Then Tn = 153

⇒ 3 +(n-1 ) × 5 = 153 

⇒ 5n = 155

⇒ n= 31 

Hence, the 31st  term will be 55 more than 20th  term.

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`
