• Please read the question carefully.. Question also says that Show that T1 , T2 , T3 , .... Tn .... form an AP where Tn is defined as: Tn = 9 - 5n

Posted by satvik Kumar (Feb 22, 2017 12:46 p.m.)
• Just calculate the 1st 3 or 4 terms & show the constant common difference.

T1 = 9 - 5 = 4

T2  = 9 - 10 = -1

T3 = 9 - 15 = -6

T = 9 - 20 = -11

Now, if one checks the difference in any of the consecutive terms, it is -5 which is constant number.

Also, Tn = 9 - 5n (given) => Tn-1 = 9 - 5(n - 1)

Further, Tn  - Tn-1  = (9 - 5n) - {9 - 5(n - 1)}

= 9 - 5n - (9 - 5n + 5) = 9 - 5n - 9 + 5n - 5 = - 5 (Common Difference between any 2 consecutive terms for any value of n)

Hence, one can say that it is forming an AP.

• Given:     Tn = 9 - 5n

T1 = a = 9 - 5 x 1 = 9 - 5 = 4

T2 = 9 - 5 x 2 = 9 - 10 = -1

Therefore, d = -1 - 4 = -5

S15 = n/2[2a + (n - 1)d]

= 15/2[2 x 4 + (15 - 1) x (-5)]

= 15/2[8 - 70]

= 15/2 x [-62]

= -465

Therefore, the sum of 15 terms of given AP is -465.

If the ratio of sum of the first n terms of  an a.p is  m: n2, show that the ratio of its mth  and nth term is   (2m-1 ) :  (2n-1)....

Posted by Ranveer Raj (Feb 21, 2017 11:37 p.m.) (Question ID: 2424)

• Ans. Let First Term of AP = a

Common Difference = d

Then

$$S_m = {m\over 2} [{2a+(m-1)d}]$$

And

$$S_n = {n\over 2} [{2a+(n-1)d}]$$

=> $${S_m\over S_n} = { m^2\over n^2}$$

=> $${2m [2a+(m-1)d] \over 2n[2a+(n-1)d]} = {m^2\over n^2}$$

=> $${ [2a+(m-1)d] \over [2a+(n-1)d]} = {m\over n}$$

=> $$2an+mnd - nd = 2am+ mnd -md$$

=> $$2an-2am = nd -md$$

=> $$2a(n-m) = (n -m)d$$

=> 2a = d       ......(1)

=> $${a_m\over a_n} ={ a+(m-1)d \over a+(n-1)d}$$

=> $${a_m\over a_n} ={ a+(m-1)2a\over a+(n-1)2a}$$

=> $${a_m\over a_n} ={ 2m-1\over 2n-1}$$

Hence Proved

• $$I \space think \space in \space question S_m = 10 \space and \space S_n = 20$$

Ans. Given : $$S_m = 10$$

$$S_n = 20 \space \space \space \space ..... (1)$$

=> m = n-1

The sum of m terms i.e (n-1) terms

=> $$n^{th} term = S_n - S_{n-1}$$

=>$$n^{th} term = 20 - 10 = 10$$

=> $$a + (n-1)d = 10$$

=> $$a + (n-1)a = 10 \space \space \space \space \space [as \space a =d ]$$

=> $$a+ na -a = 10$$

If 3+5+7+........ to n terms/ 5+8+11+.........to 10 terms = 7. Find 'n' ?

Posted by Harmehar Malhotra (Feb 18, 2017 4:48 p.m.) (Question ID: 2291)

• Both the numerator and denominator are the sums of two series up to 'n' terms:-

Since the sum = (n/2)(2a+(n-1)d)

For series in the numerator :-

a=3, d=2, n=n

Therefore numerator = (n/2)*(6+(n-1)2) = (n/2)*(2n+4)

And for the denominator series:-

a=5, d=3, n=10

Therefore denominator = (10/2)*(10+(10-1)3) = (n/2)*(3n+7) = 185

Therefore Acc. to question:-

(n/2)*(2n+4) / (185)   = 7

= n2 +2n- 1295 = 0

= n2 + 37n - 35n - 1295 = 0

=n=35 ( Since ncan not be equal to 37)

A trader buys a number of goods for rupees 900 and 5 goods are found to be faulty. he sells the remaining goods at 80 rupees per piece in  the whole transaction. find the number of good he bought

Posted by Harmehar Malhotra (Feb 16, 2017 2:43 p.m.) (Question ID: 2199)

• I think your question is "A trader buys a number of goods for rupees 900 and 5 goods are found to be faulty. he sells the remaining goods at Rs 2 per piece more than what he paid for it . He got a profit of 80 rupees in the whole transaction. find the number of good he bought"

Ans. Let Number of Article Bought = x

Total Amount Paid =  900         .................. (1)

Amount Paid for one article = $$900 \over x$$

Faulty Article = 5
Remaining Article that He Sold = (x - 5)

Price for One article = $${900 \over x } + 2 = {900 +2x \over x}$$

Total Amount he Gain For all Article = $${900 +2x \over x} \times (x-5) = {(900x +2x^2 -4500 -10x)\over x}$$       ....... (2)

Profit = Total amount gain - total amount paid

So, from (2) and (1), We get

=> Profit = $${(900x +2x^2 -4500 -10x)\over x} - {900} = {(900x +2x^2 -4500 -10x-900x )\over x}$$

=> $${2x^2 -4500 -10x \over x}$$       ...... (3)

Given Profit  =  80      ..... (4)

So from (3) and (4)

=> $${2x^2 -4500 -10x \over x} = 80 =>{2x^2 -4500 -10x = 80x }$$

=> $${2x^2 -4500 -10x - 80x } => {2x^2 -90x -4500 }$$

Divide it by 2, we get

=> $${x^2 -45x -2250 }$$

=> x2 - 75x + 30x - 2250 = 0

=> x(x-75) +30(x-75) =0

=> (x-75) (x+30) = 0

=> x = 75, -30  => 

x cant not be -30,

So Number of Article Bought = 75

If a2,b2,c2 are in A.P to prove that                  1/b+c,1/c+a,1/a+b are in A.P

Posted by dev saini (Feb 15, 2017 5:21 p.m.) (Question ID: 2148)

• If a2, b2, c2 are in AP, then

2b2 = a2 + c2

b2 + b2 = a2 + c2

b2 - a2 = c2 - b2

(b - a)(b + a) = (c - b)(c + b)

(b - a)/(c + b) = (c - b)/(b + a)

Dividing both sides by (c + a),

(b - a)/{(c + b)(c + a)} = (c - b)/{(b + a)(c + a)}

{(b + c) - (c + a)}/{(b + c)(c + a) = {(c + a) - (a + b)}/{(a + b)(c + a)}

{1/(c + a)} - {1/(b + c)} = {1/(a + b)} - {1/(c + a)}

{2/(c + a)} = {1/(a + b)} - {1/(b + c)}

Therefore 1/(a + b), 1/(b + c), 1/(c + a) are in AP.

• Ans. Given : a2 b2 c2 are in A.P.

To Prove $${1 \over b +c } ,{1 \over c+a}, {1\over a+b}$$ Are in A.P.

Proof : 2b2 = a2 + c2   [as a2 b2 c2 are in A.P.]

=> b2 + b2 = a2 + c2

=> b2 - a2 = c2 - b2

=> (b-a) (b+a) = (c-b) (c+b)

=> $${(b-a) \over (c+b) } = {(c-b) \over (b+a)}$$

Divide both side by $$1\over (c+a)$$, We get

=> $${(b-a) \over (c+b) \times (c+a) } = {(c-b) \over (b+a)\times(c+a)}$$

=> $${(b-a+c-c) \over (c+b) \times (c+a) } = {(c-b+a-a) \over (b+a)\times(c+a)}$$

=> $${(b+c) - (c+a) \over (c+b) \times (c+a) } = {(c+a) -(a+b)) \over (b+a)\times(c+a)}$$

=> $${1 \over(c+a)} - {1\over (c+b) } = {1\over (a+b)} -{ 1\over(c+a)}$$

=> $${2 \over(c+a)} = {1\over (a+b)} + {1\over (c+b) }$$

Hence by this equation we, can say that $${1 \over b +c } ,{1 \over c+a}, {1\over a+b}$$are in A.P.

Posted by Pankaj Asery (Feb 14, 2017 9:57 a.m.) (Question ID: 2098)

• Given, a1 + a2 + a3 = 33 ..........(i)

and  a1 x a2 x a3 = 1155 ..........(ii)

Since a1, a2, a3 are in AP, therefore, a1 + a3 = 2a2 ..........(iii)

Substituting the value of a1 + a3 in eq. (i), we get 2a2 + a2= 33

=>  a2= 11

Putting the value of a2 in eq. (i), we get,

a1 + a3 = 22

=>   a1 = (22 -  a3) .........(iv)

Putting the value of a2 in eq. (ii), we get, a1 x a3 = 105   .........(v)

Substituting the value of a1 in eq. (v), we get, (22 - a3) x a3 = 105

=> a32 - 22a3 + 105 = 0

=>  a32 - 15a- 7a3 +105 = 0

=>  a3(a3 - 15) - 7(a3 - 15) = 0

=>  a3 - 15 = 0 and  a3 - 7 = 0

=>  a3 = 15 and a3 = 7

Putting these values in eq.(ii) we get, a1 = 7 and a1 = 15

Therefore, the required three positive integers are 7, 11 and 15.

Solve the equation:

22x+3=65(2x-2)+122.

Posted by Komaldeep Kaur (Feb 13, 2017 11:10 p.m.) (Question ID: 2090)

• Ans. Equation is in the Form = 22x+3  = 65 (2x - 2 ) + 122

=> 22x . 23 = 65 ( 2x - 2 ) + 122

=> 8(2x)2 = 65 ( 2x - 2) + 122

Put 2x = y , We get

=> 8y2 = 65(y-2) + 122

=> 8y2 = 65y - 130 + 122

=> 8y2 - 65y + 8 = 0

=> 8y2 - 64y - y + 8 = 0

=> 8y ( y - 8) - 1(y-8) = 0

=> (8y-1) ( y - 8) = 0

Either 8y -1 = 0 or y - 8 = 0

So, y = 1/8 or 8

=> 2x = 1/8             or 2x = 8

=> 2x = (2)-3      or 2x = (2)3

On comparing, We get

x = -3, 3

Coordinates of M = $\left(\frac{-2+2}{2},\frac{2+8}{2}\right)=\left(0,5\right)$

For point N, the ratio will be 3 : 1, then

Coordinates of N = $\left(\frac{3×2+1×\left(-2\right)}{3+1},\frac{3×8+1×2}{3+1}\right)=\left(1,\frac{13}{2}\right)$

• Ans. a(-2,2) b(2,8)

as l m n divides the segment in four equal parts. Then m ll be mid-point of ab

Co-ordinate of m = (-2+2/2), (2+8/2)= (0,5)

l ll be mid-point of ma.

co-ordinate of l = (-2+0/2), (2+5/2) = (-1,7/2)

n ll be mid-point of mb.

Coordinate of n = (0+2/2), (5+8/2) = (1,13/2)

All four parts al=lm=mn=nb are equal

• Ans. Let AB and CD are two wals of room and Ladder is fixed at O.

In Triangle ABO : cos 60 = BO/6

=> 1/2 = BO/6

cross multiply. We get

BO = 3m

In Triangle CDO : cos 45 = DO/6

=> 1/√2  = DO/6

=> DO = 3√2 m

Distance b/w walls = BO + DO = 3 + 3√2  = 3 + 3(1.41) = 3 + 4.23 = 7.23m

(a2+b2)x2-2b(a+c)x+(b2+c2)=0

For equal roots ...To find b2=????

Posted by aryan raj (Feb 11, 2017 9 a.m.) (Question ID: 1996)

• Ans. On comparing with standard form.of quadratic equation

Ax2 + Bx + C = 0, We get

A = (a2 + b2)

B = -2b(a+c)

C = (b2 + c2)

as equation has equal roots,So

D = 0

=> B2 - 4AC = 0

=> [-2b(a+c)]2 - 4(a2 + b2)(b2 +c2) =0

=> 4b2(a2 + c2+2ac) = 4(a2b2 + a2c2 + b4 + b2c2)

divide by 4 both sides,

=> a2b2 + b2c2 - 2acb2 - a2b2 + a2c2 + b4 - b2c2 = 0

=> (ac)+ (b2)2 - 2(ac)(b2) =0

=> (ac - b2)=0

squareroot both side

=> ac - b2 = 0

=> b2 = ac

Hence proved

had shreya sccored 10 marks more in her english test out of 30 marks ,5 times if these marks would have been the square of her actual marks how many marks did she get in the test

Posted by Shashant Ahuja (Feb 10, 2017 8:21 p.m.) (Question ID: 1987)

• Ans. Let her actual marks = x

If she score 10 more then marks = x + 10

According to ques

5(x+10) = x2

=>5x +50 = x2

=> x2 - 5x - 50 = 0

=> x2 - 10x + 5x - 50 = 0

=> x(x-10) +5(x-10) = 0

=> (x-10)(x+5) = 0

either (x-10) = 0   or  (x+5) = 0

x = 10 or x = -5

x can not be -5.

So x = 10

Actual marks = 10

• The line segment joining the centre of a circle to the mid-point of a chord bisects the chord.

So, <ODB= 90$°$

Posted by Shweta Gulati (Feb 11, 2017 2:22 p.m.)
• How is angle ODB=90°

Posted by satvik Kumar (Feb 11, 2017 1:07 p.m.)
• Let XY be the tangent at the mid point of the arc A

Let T be the point of contact

Let AB be the chord

Take D as mid point of AB.

Construction join OA ,OB and OT , where O is the centre of the circle .

Proof : ∠OTY=90 degrees

∠ODB=90 degrees

Since the alternate interior angles are equal.

AB is parallel to XY

Hence proved .

1. State the theorem which is used for deviding a line segment in given ratio.
2. In a circle chord CD is parallel to the tangent at a point A prove that angel ACD is isosceles.
Posted by vinod sharma (Feb 10, 2017 1:14 p.m.) (Question ID: 1978)

• Construction-From center O draw a straight line connecting point of contact A on tangent to a point M on chorday

Proof-since angle between radius  and tangent at point of contact is 90 thus angle formed between  radius and tangent at A is 90

Now chord//tangent

Thus angle OMD is also 90

This proves that OM   is perpendicular to chord

A perpendicular from centre to chord bisects the chord

Thus CM=DMITRY

CM=DMITRY

angleAMC=AND

AM=AM

A horse is tied to the peg at one corner of a square shaped grass field of side 15 m by means of a long rope. Find

(1) the area of that part of the field in which the horse can graze.

(2) the increase in the grazing area if the rope were 10 m long instead of 5 m.

Posted by jota singh (Feb 10, 2017 12:49 p.m.) (Question ID: 1977)

• Ans. (1)The horse can graze a sector of 90° in a circle of 5 m radius.
Area that can be grazed by horse = Area of sector OACB

=>

(2) if Rope is 10m Long =

increase in area = 78.5 - 19.625 = 58.875m2
