OP Malhotra ISC Class 11 Maths Solutions
Que-1: If an = (−1)n−1 n3, find a9.
Sol: a9 = (−1)8 × 9³
= 1 × 729
= 729
Que-2: Find the value of m if the numbers m + 2, 4m − 6, 3m − 2 are in A.P.
Sol: 2nd term = (1st + 3rd)/2
4m − 6 = [(m+2) + (3m−2)]/2
4m − 6 = 4m/2 = 2m
⇒ 2m = 6
⇒ m = 3
Que-3: Show that 1 + 3 + 5 + …. to n terms = n2.
Sol: Sum of first n odd numbers:
S = 1 + 3 + 5 + … (n terms)
General term of odd numbers = (2n − 1)
S = n/2 × [first term + last term]
= n/2 × [1 + (2n − 1)]
= n/2 × (2n)
= n2
Que-4: For what value of x, the numbers −2/7, x, −7/2 are in G.P.
Sol: For three numbers in G.P., middle term² = product of extremes
x² = (−2/7) × (−7/2)
x² = 1
x = ±1
Que-5: Find the sum of odd integers from 1 to 2001.
Sol: 2001 = 2n − 1
⇒ n = 1001
Sum = n² = 1001²
= 1002001
Que-6: Find the sum of the infinite series 1 + 1/5 + 1/25 + 1/125 + 1/625 + …..
Sol: It is a G.P. with a = 1, r = 1/5
Sum = a/(1−r) = 1/(1−1/5) = 1/(4/5) = 5/4
Que-7: If the 3rd term and the 6th term of an A.P. are 7 and 13 respectively, find the first term and the common difference.
Sol: a + 2d = 7
a + 5d = 13
Subtract ⇒ 3d = 6 ⇒ d = 2
a = 7 − 2(2) = 3
Que-8: Find the first term of the G.P. whose 8th term is 192 and the common ratio is 2.
Sol: T₈ = ar⁷ = 192
a(2⁷) = 192 ⇒ a(128) = 192
a = 192/128 = 3/2
Que-9: If x = 1 + y + y2 + …. to ∞, then find y.
Sol: x = 1/(1 − y)
⇒ 1 − y = 1/x
⇒ y = 1 − 1/x
Que-10: Find the sum of first 8 terms of the geometric series 2 + 6 + 18 + 54 + ….
Sol: a = 2, r = 3, n = 8
S₈ = a(r⁸ − 1)/(r − 1)
= 2(3⁸ − 1)/2
= 6560
Que-11: Two numbers x and y have arithmetic mean 9 and geometric mean 4. Form the quadratic equation whose roots are x and y.
Sol: x + y = 18, xy = 16
Equation: x² − (x+y)x + xy = 0
x² − 18x + 16 = 0
Que-12: A man starts repaying a loan as the first instalment of ₹ 100. If he increases the instalment by ₹ 5 every month, what amount he will pay in the 30th instalment?
Sol: a = 100, d = 5, n = 30
T₃₀ = a + (n−1)d
= 100 + 29×5
= 245
