(a) 1

(b) 2

(c) − 1

(d) − 2

Answer: (a) 1

Hint

Let  a = n – 2

b = 4n – 1

c = 5n + 2

Since the terms are in A.P,

Therefore,

2b = a + c

⇒ 2 (4n – 1) = n – 2 + 5n + 2

⇒ 8n – 2 = 6n

⇒ 2n = 2

⇒ n = 1

Question-18 . If 7 times the 7th term of an AP is equal to 11 times its 11th term, then its 18th term will be

(a) 7

(b) 11

(c) 18

(d) 0

Answer:(d) 0

Hint

According to question

7(a + 6d) = 11(a + 10d)

⇒ 7a + 42d = 11a + 110d

⇒ 4a + 68d = 0

⇒ 4(a + 17d) = 0

⇒ a + 17d = 0

Therefore,

a18 = a + 17d

a18 = 0

Question-19  Two APs have the same common difference. The first term of one of these is –1 and that of the other is – 8. Then the difference between their 4th terms is

(a) –1

(b) – 8

(c) 7

(d) –9

Answer: (c) 7

Hint

The 4th term of first series is

a4 = a1 + 3d

The 4th term of another series is

a`4 = a2 + 3d

Now,

As, a1 = –1, a2 = –8

Therefore,

a– a`= (–1 + 3d) – (–8 + 3d)

a– a`= 7

Question 20. If the common difference of an AP is 5, then what is a18 – a13?

(a) 5

(b) 20

(c) 25

(d) 30

Answer:  (c) 25

Hint

Since, d = 5

a18 – a13 = a + 17d – a – 12d

= 5d = 5 × 5  = 25

Question-21 . The sum of first 16 terms of the AP: 10, 6, 2,… is

(a) –320

(b) 320

(c) –352

Answer: (a) 45

Question-23  The middle most term (s) of the AP:–11, –7, –3, …, 49 is:

(a) 18, 20

(b) 19, 23

(c) 17, 21

(d) 23, 25

Answer: (c) 17, 21

Hint

Here, a = −11

d = − 7 – (−11) = 4

And an = 49

an = a + (n – 1)d

⇒ 49 = −11 + (n – 1)4

⇒ 60 = (n – 1)4

⇒ n = 16

As n is an even number, there will be two middle terms which are16/2th and [(16/2)+1]th, i.e. the 8th term and the 9th term.

a8 = a + 7d = – 11 + 7 × 4 = 17

a9 = a + 8d = – 11 + 8 × 4 = 21

Question-24   If the 2nd term of an AP is 13 and the 5th term is 25, what is its 7th term?

(a) 30

(b) 33

(c) 37

(d) 38

Answer: (b) 33

Hint

a2 = 13

a5 = 25

⇒ a + d = 13              ….(i)

⇒ a + 4d = 25           ….(ii)

Solving equations (i) and (ii),

a = 9; d = 4

Therefore,

a= 9 + 6 × 4

a= 9 + 24

a= 33

Question-25. The 21st term of the AP whose first two terms are –3 and 4 is

(a) 17

(b) 137

(c) 143

(d) –143

Answer: (b) 137

Hint

First two terms are –3 and 4

a = −3

a + d = 4

⇒ d = 4 − a

⇒ d = 4 + 3

⇒ d = 7

a21 = a + (21 – 1)d

a21 = –3 + (20)7

a21 = 137

Question-26 The first four terms of an AP, whose first term is –2 and the common difference is –2, are

(a) – 2, 0, 2, 4

(b) – 2, 4, – 8, 16

(c) – 2, – 4, – 6, – 8

(d) – 2, – 4, – 8, –16

Answer: (c) – 2, – 4, – 6, – 8

Hint

Let the first four terms of an A.P are a, a+d, a+2d and a+3d

Given that the first termis −2 and difference is also −2, then the A.P would be:

– 2, (–2–2), [–2 + 2 (–2)], [–2 + 3(–2)]

= –2, –4, –6, –8

Question-27   The nth term of an A.P. is given by an = 3 + 4n. The common difference is
(a) 7
(b) 3
(c) 4
(d) 1

Answer: (c) 4
Hint: : We have an = 3 + 4n
∴ an+1 = 3 + 4(n + 1) = 7 + 4n
∴ d = an+1 – an
= (7 + 4n) – (3 + 4n)
= 7 – 3
= 4

Question-28 If p, q, r and s are in A.P. then r – q is
(a) s – p
(b) s – q
(c) s – r
(d) none of these

Answer:(c) s – r
Hint : Since p, q, r, s are in A.P.
∴ (q – p) = (r – q) = (s – r) = d (common difference)

Question-29  If the sum of three numbers in an A.P. is 9 and their product is 24, then numbers are
(a) 2, 4, 6
(b) 1, 5, 3
(c) 2, 8, 4
(d) 2, 3, 4

Answer: (d) 2, 3, 4
Hint : Let three numbers be a – d, a, a + d
∴ a – d +a + a + d = 9
⇒ 3a = 9
⇒ a = 3
Also (a – d) . a . (a + d) = 24
⇒ (3 -d) .3(3 + d) = 24
⇒ 9 – d² = 8
⇒ d² = 9 – 8 = 1
∴ d = ± 1
Hence numbers are 2, 3, 4 or 4, 3, 2

Question -30  The (n – 1)th term of an A.P. is given by 7,12,17, 22,… is
(a) 5n + 2
(b) 5n + 3
(c) 5n – 5
(d) 5n – 3

Answer: (d) 5n – 3
Hint  Here a = 7, d = 12-7 = 5
∴ an-1 = a + [(n – 1) – l]d = 7 + [(n – 1) -1] (5) = 7 + (n – 2)5 = 7 + 5n – 10 = 5M – 3

Question -31   The nth term of an A.P. 5, 2, -1, -4, -7 … is
(a) 2n + 5
(b) 2n – 5
(c) 8 – 3n
(d) 3n – 8

Answer: (c) 8 – 3n
Hint Here a = 5, d = 2 – 5 = -3
an = a + (n – 1)d = 5 + (n – 1) (-3) = 5 – 3n + 3 = 8 – 3n

Question-32  The 10th term from the end of the A.P. -5, -10, -15,…, -1000 is
(a) -955
(b) -945
(c) -950
(d) -965

Answer: (a) -955
Hint   Here l = -1000, d = -10 – (-5) = -10 + 5 = – 5
∴ 10th term from the end = l – (n – 1 )d = -1000 – (10 – 1) (-5) = -1000 + 45 = -955

Question-33   Find the sum of 12 terms of an A.P. whose nth term is given by an = 3n + 4
(a) 262
(b) 272
(c) 282
(d) 292

Answer: (a) 262
Hint  Here an = 3n + 4
∴ a1 = 7, a2 – 10, a3 = 13
∴ a= 7, d = 10 – 7 = 3
∴ S12 = 12/2   [2 × 7 + (12 – 1) ×3] = 6[14 + 33] = 6 × 47 = 282

Question-34  The sum of all two digit odd numbers is
(a) 2575
(b) 2475
(c) 2524

Hint  Given, 3, 8, 13, 18, … is the AP.

First term, a = 3

Common difference, d = a2 − a1 = 8 − 3 = 5

Let the nth term of given A.P. be 78. Now as we know,

an = a+(n−1)d

Therefore,

78 = 3+(n −1)5

75 = (n−1)5

(n−1) = 15

n = 16

Question-53  The 21st term of AP whose first two terms are -3 and 4 is:

(a) 17

(b) 137

(c) 143

(d) -143

Answer: (b) 137

Hint: First term = -3 and second term = 4

a = -3

d = 4-a = 4-(-3) = 7

a21=a+(21-1)d

=-3+(20)7

=-3+140

=137

Question-54. If 17th term of an A.P. exceeds its 10th term by 7. The common difference is:

(a) 1

(b) 2

(c) 3

(d) 4

Answer: (a) 1

hint : Nth term in AP is:

a= a+(n-1)d

a17 = a+(17−1)d

a17 = a +16d

In the same way,

a10 = a+9d

Given,

a17 − a10 = 7

Therefore,

(a +16d)−(a+9d) = 7

7d = 7

d = 1

Therefore, the common difference is 1.

Question-55 The number of multiples of 4 between 10 and 250 is:

(a) 50

(b) 40

(c) 60

(d) 30

Answer: (c) 60

hint The multiples of 4 after 10 are:

12, 16, 20, 24, …

So here, a = 12 and d = 4

Now, 250/4 gives remainder 2. Hence, 250 – 2 = 248 is divisible by 2.

12, 16, 20, 24, …, 248

So, nth term, an = 248

As we know,

an = a+(n−1)d

248 = 12+(n-1)×4

236/4 = n-1

59 = n-1

n = 60

Question-56    20th term from the last term of the A.P. 3, 8, 13, …, 253 is:

(a) 147

(b) 151

(c) 154

(d) 158

Answer: (d) 158

hint: Given, A.P. is 3, 8, 13, …, 253

Common difference, d= 5.

In reverse order,

253, 248, 243, …, 13, 8, 5

So,

a = 253

d = 248 − 253 = −5

n = 20

By nth term formula,

a20 = a+(20−1)d

a20 = 253+(19)(−5)

a20 = 253−95

a20 = 158

Question-57. The sum of the first five multiples of 3 is:

(a) 45

(b) 55

(c) 65

(d) 75

Answer: (a) 45

hint The first five multiples of 3 is 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15

a=3 and d=3

n=5

Sum, Sn = n/2[2a+(n-1)d]

S5 = 5/2[2(3)+(5-1)3]

=5/2[6+12]

=5/2[18]

=5 x 9

= 45

Question-58 The 10th term of the AP: 5, 8, 11, 14, … is

(a) 32

(b) 35

(c) 38

(d) 185

Answer: (a) 32

hint

Given AP: 5, 8, 11, 14,….

First term = a = 5

Common difference = d = 8 – 5 = 3

nth term of an AP = an = a + (n – 1)d

Now, 10th term = a10 = a + (10 – 1)d

= 5 + 9(3)

= 5 + 27

= 32

Question-59. In an AP, if d = -4, n = 7, an = 4, then a is

(a) 6

(b) 7

(c) 20

(d) 28

Answer: (d) 28

hint  d = -4, n = 7, an = 4

We know that,

an = a + (n – 1)d

4 = a + (7 – 1)(-4)

4 = a + 6(-4)

4 = a – 24

⇒ a = 4 + 24 = 28

Question-60    The list of numbers –10, –6, –2, 2,… is

(a) an AP with d = –16

(b) an AP with d = 4

(c) an AP with d = –4

(d) not an AP

Answer: (b) an AP with d = 4

hint  –10, –6, –2, 2,…

Let a1 = -10, a2 = -6, a3 = -3, a4 = 2

a2 – a1 = -6 – (-10) = 4

a3 – a2 = -2 – (-6) = 4

a4 – a3 = 2 – (-2) = 4

The given list of numbers is an AP with d = 4.

Question-61   If the 2nd term of an AP is 13 and the 5th term is 25, then its 7th term is

(a) 30

(b) 33

(c) 37

(d) 38

Answer: (b) 33

hint a2 = 13

a + d = 13

a = 13 – d….(i)

a5 = 25

a + 4d = 25….(ii)

Substituting (i) in (ii),

13 – d + 4d = 25

3d = 12

d = 4

So, a = 13 – 4 = 9

a7 = a + 6d = 9 + 6(4) = 9 + 24 = 33

Question-62  Which term of the AP: 21, 42, 63, 84,… is 210?

(a) 9th

(b) 10th

(c) 11th

(d) 12th

Answer: (b) 10th

hint :

21, 42, 63, 84,…

a = 21

d = 42 – 21 = 21

an = 210

a + (n – 1)d = 210

21 + (n – 1)(21) = 210

21 + 21n – 21 = 210

21n = 210

n = 10

Question-63  What is the common difference of an AP in which a18 – a14 = 32?

(a) 8

(b) -8

(c) -4

(d) 4

Answer: (a) 8

hint

a18 – a14 = 32

We know that, an = a + (n – 1)d

So,

a + 17d – (a + 13d) = 32

17d – 13d = 32

4d = 32

d = 8

Question-64  The sum of first 16 terms of the AP: 10, 6, 2,… is

(a) –320

(b) 320

(c) –352

(d) –400

Answer: (a) -320

hint  Given AP: 10, 6, 2,…

Here, a = 10, d = -4

Sum of first n terms = Sn = (n/2)[2a + (n – 1)d]

The sum of first 16 terms = S16 = (16/2)[2(10) + (16 – 1)(-4)]

= 8[20 + 15(-4)]

= 8(20 – 60)

= 8(-40)

= -320
