Which term of AP 72,68,64,60,… is 0?
Advertisements
Solution
In the given AP, first term, a = 72 and common difference, d =
(68-72) = - 4.
Let its nth term be 0.
Then, Tn = 0
⇒ a + (n-1) d = 0
⇒ 72 + (n-1) × (-4) = 0
⇒ 76- 4n = 0
⇒ 4n =76
⇒n=19
Hence, the 19th term of the given AP is 0.

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`.
