Explanation:
Let $S = 1\,.\,{3^0} + 2\,.\,{3^1} + 3\,.\,{3^2} + \,\,......\,\, + \,\,10\,.\,{3^9}$
$3S = 1\,.\,{3^1} + 2\,.\,{3^2} + \,\,..........\,\, + \,\,10\,.\,{3^{10}}$

$ \Rightarrow S = {1 \over 2}\left[ {10\,.\,{3^{10}} - {{{3^{10}} - 1} \over { - 3 - 1}}} \right]$
$ \Rightarrow S = {{19\,.\,{3^{10}} + 1} \over 4}$

Let x, y > 0. If x3 y2 = 215 , then the least value of 3x + 2y is
Show Answer
Practice Quiz
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
x, y > 0 and x3 y2 = 215
Now, 3x + 2y = (x + x + x) + (y + y)
So, by A.M $\ge$ G.M inequality
${{3x + 2y} \over 5} \ge \root 5 \of {{x^3}\,.\,{y^2}} $
$\therefore$ $3x + 2y \ge 5\root 5 \of {{2^{15}}} \ge 40$
$\therefore$ Least value of $3x + 4y = 40$

If $\{ {a_i}\} _{i = 1}^n$, where n is an even integer, is an arithmetic progression with common difference 1, and $\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{a_i} = 192} ,\,\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{n/2} {{a_{2i}} = 120} $, then n is equal to :
Show Answer
Practice Quiz
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
$\sum\limits_{i = 1}^n {{a_i} = 192} $
$\Rightarrow$ a1 + a2 + a3 + ...... + an = 192
$ \Rightarrow {n \over 2}[{a_1} + {a_n}] = 192$
$ \Rightarrow {a_1} + {a_n} = {{384} \over n}$ ..... (1)
Now, $\sum\limits_{i = 1}^{{n \over 2}} {{a_{2i}} = 120} $
$\Rightarrow$ a2 + a4 + a6 + ...... + an = 120
Here total ${n \over 2}$ terms present.
$\therefore$ ${{{n \over 2}} \over 2}[{a_2} + {a_n}] = 120$
$ \Rightarrow {n \over 4}[{a_1} + 1 + {a_n}] = 120$
$ \Rightarrow {a_1} + {a_n} + 1 = {{480} \over n}$ ..... (2)
Subtracting (1) from (2), we get
$1 = {{480} \over n} - {{384} \over n}$
$ \Rightarrow 1 = {{96} \over n}$
$\Rightarrow$ n = 96

Show Answer
Practice Quiz
Correct Answer: 38
Explanation:
$\because$ Roots of $2 a x^{2}-8 a x+1=0$ are $\frac{1}{p}$ and $\frac{1}{r}$ and roots of $6 b x^{2}+12 b x+1=0$ are $\frac{1}{q}$ and $\frac{1}{s}$.
Let $\frac{1}{p}, \frac{1}{q}, \frac{1}{r}, \frac{1}{s}$ as $\alpha-3 \beta, \alpha-\beta, \alpha+\beta, \alpha+3 \beta$
So sum of roots $2 \alpha-2 \beta=4$ and $2 \alpha+2 \beta=-2$
Clearly $\alpha=\frac{1}{2}$ and $\beta=-\frac{3}{2}$ Now product of roots, $\frac{1}{p} \cdot \frac{1}{r}=\frac{1}{2 a}=-5 \Rightarrow \frac{1}{a}=-10$ and $\frac{1}{q} \cdot \frac{1}{x}=\frac{1}{6 b}=-8 \Rightarrow \frac{1}{b}=-48$
So, $\frac{1}{a}-\frac{1}{b}=38$

Show Answer
Practice Quiz
Correct Answer: 27560
Explanation:
Given,
${a_n} = {a_{n - 1}} + 2$
$ \Rightarrow {a_n} - {a_{n - 1}} = 2$
$\therefore$ In this series between any two consecutives terms difference is 2. So this is an A.P. with common difference 2.
Also given ${a_1} = 1$
$\therefore$ Series is = 1, 3, 5, 7 ......
$\therefore$ ${a_n} = 1 + (n - 1)2 = 2n - 1$
Also ${b_n} = {a_n} + {b_{n - 1}}$
When $n = 2$ then
${b_2} - {b_1} = {a_2} = 3$
$ \Rightarrow {b_2} - 1 = 3$ [Given ${b_1} = 1$]
$ \Rightarrow {b_2} = 4$
When $n = 3$ then
${b_3} - {b_2} = {a_3}$
$ \Rightarrow {b_3} - 4 = 5$
$ \Rightarrow {b_3} = 9$
$\therefore$ Series is = 1, 4, 9 ......
= 12 , 22 , 32 ....... n2
$\therefore$ ${b_n} = {n^2}$
Now, $\sum\limits_{n = 1}^{15} {\left( {{a_n}\,.\,{b_n}} \right)} $
$ = \sum\limits_{n = 1}^{15} {\left[ {(2n - 1){n^2}} \right]} $
$ = \sum\limits_{n = 1}^{15} {2{n^3} - \sum\limits_{n = 1}^{15} {{n^2}} } $
$ = 2\left( {{1^3} + {2^3} + \,\,...\,\,{{15}^3}} \right) - \left( {{1^2} + {2^2} + \,\,...\,\,{{15}^2}} \right)$
$ = 2 \times {\left( {{{15 \times 16} \over 2}} \right)^2} - \left( {{{15(16) \times 31} \over 6}} \right)$
$ = 27560$

Show Answer
Practice Quiz
Correct Answer: 2
Explanation:
Given,
$f(x) = {a_0}{x^2} + {a_1}x + {a_2}$
$f'(0) = 1$
$f'(1) = 0$
a0 , a1 , a2 are in A. G. P
Common difference of $AP = 1$
Common ratio of $GP = 2$
A.P terms = a, a + 1, a + 2
G.P terms = y, ry, r2 y
$\therefore$ AGP terms = ay, (a+1)ry, (a+2)r2 y
$\therefore$ ${a_0} = ay$
${a_1} = (a + 1)ry = (a + 1)2y$
${a_2} = (a + 2){r^2}y = (a + 2)4y$
Now, $f'(x) = 2x{a_0} + {a_1}$
$\therefore$ $f'(0) = {a_1} = 1$
and $f'(1) = 2{a_0} + {a_1} = 0$
$ \Rightarrow 2{a_0} + 1 = 0$
$ \Rightarrow {a_0} = - {1 \over 2}$
$\therefore$ $ay = - {1 \over 2}$
and $(a + 1)2y = 1$
$ \Rightarrow 2ay + 2y = 1$
$ \Rightarrow 2 \times \left( { - {1 \over 2}} \right) + 2y = 1$
$ \Rightarrow 2y = + \,2$
$ \Rightarrow y = + \,1$
$\therefore$ $a = - {1 \over 2}$
$\therefore$ ${a_2} = (a + 2)4y$
$ = \left( { - {1 \over 2} + 2} \right) \times 4\,.\,1$
$ = 6$
$\therefore$ $f(x) = - {1 \over 2}{x^2} + x + 6$
$\therefore$ $f(4) = - {1 \over 2}{(4)^2} + 4 + 6$
$ = - 8 + 10$
$ = 2$

Correct Answer: 2223
Explanation:
1st AP :
3, 6, 9, 12, ....... upto 78 terms
t78 = 3 + (78 $-$ 1)3
= 3 + 77 $\times$ 3
= 234
2nd AP :
5, 9, 13, 17, ...... upto 59 terms
t59 = 5 + (59 $-$ 1)4
= 5 + 58 $\times$ 4
= 237
Common term's AP :
First term = 9
Common difference of first AP = 3
And common difference of second AP = 4
$\therefore$ Common difference of common terms
AP = LCM (3, 4) = 12
$\therefore$ New AP = 9, 21, 33, .......
tn = 9 + (n $-$ 1)12 $\le$ 234
$ \Rightarrow n \le {{237} \over {12}}$
$ \Rightarrow n = 19$
$\therefore$ ${S_{19}} = {{19} \over 2}\left[ {2.9 + (19 - 1)12} \right]$
$ = 19(9 + 108)$
$ = 2223$

Now ${1 \over {26}} + \sum\limits_{n = 1}^{50} {\left( {{S_n} + {2 \over {n + 1}} - n - 1} \right)} $
$ = {1 \over {26}} + \sum\limits_{n = 1}^{50} {\left\{ {({n^2} - n) + 2\left( {{1 \over {n + 1}} - {1 \over {n + 2}}} \right)} \right\}} $
$ = {1 \over {26}} + {{50 \times 51 \times 101} \over 6} - {{50 \times 51} \over 2} + 2\left( {{1 \over 2} - {1 \over {52}}} \right)$

Show Answer
Practice Quiz
Correct Answer: 702
Explanation:
If we write the elements of $A+A$, we can certainly find 39 distinct elements as $1+1,1+a_{1}, 1+a_{2}, \ldots .1$ $+a_{18}, 1+77, a_{1}+77, a_{2}+77, \ldots \ldots a_{18}+77,77+77$. It means all other sums are already present in these 39 values, which is only possible in case when all numbers are in A.P.
Let the common difference be '$d$'.
$77=1+19 \mathrm{~d} \Rightarrow d=4$
So, $\sum\limits_{i=1}^{18} a_{1}=\frac{18}{2}\left[2 a_{1}+17 d\right]=9[10+68]=702$

$\Rightarrow$ 3ar + ar2 = 2ar3
$\Rightarrow$ 2ar2 $-$ r $-$ 3 = 0
$\therefore$ r = $-$1 or ${3 \over 2}$
$\because$ a1 = a > 0 then r $\ne$ $-$1
Now, a2 + a4 = 2a3 + 1
ar + ar3 = 2ar2 + 1
$a\left( {{3 \over 2} + {{27} \over 8} - {9 \over 2}} \right) = 1$
$\therefore$ a = ${8 \over 3}$
$\therefore$ a2 + a4 + 2a5 = a(r + r3 + 2r4 )
$ = {8 \over 3}\left( {{3 \over 2} + {{27} \over 8} + {{81} \over 8}} \right) = 40$

For a natural number n, let ${\alpha _n} = {19^n} - {12^n}$. Then, the value of ${{31{\alpha _9} - {\alpha _{10}}} \over {57{\alpha _8}}}$ is ___________.
Show Answer
Practice Quiz
Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:
${\alpha _n} = {19^n} - {12^n}$
Let equation of roots 12 & 19 i.e.
${x^2} - 31x + 228 = 0$
$ \Rightarrow (31 - x) = {{228} \over x}$ (where x can be 19 or 12)
$\therefore$ ${{31{\alpha _9} - {\alpha _{10}}} \over {57{\alpha _8}}} = {{31({{19}^9} - {{12}^9}) - ({{19}^{10}} - {{12}^{10}})} \over {57({{19}^8} - {{12}^8})}}$
$ = {{{{19}^9}(31 - 19) - {{12}^9}(31 - 12)} \over {57({{19}^8} - {{12}^8})}}$
$ = {{228({{19}^8} - {{12}^8})} \over {57({{19}^8} - {{12}^8})}} = 4$.

Explanation:
$\sum\limits_{n = 1}^{20} {{1 \over {{a_n}{a_{n + 1}}}} = \sum\limits_{n = 1}^{20} {{1 \over {{a_n}({a_n} + d)}}} } $ $ = {1 \over d}\sum\limits_{n = 1}^{20} {\left( {{1 \over {{a_n}}} - {1 \over {{a_n} + d}}} \right)} $ $ \Rightarrow {1 \over d}\left( {{1 \over {{a_1}}} - {1 \over {{a_{21}}}}} \right) = {4 \over 9}$ (Given) $ \Rightarrow {1 \over d}\left( {{{{a_{21}} - {a_1}} \over {{a_1}{a_{21}}}}} \right) = {4 \over 9}$ $ \Rightarrow {1 \over d}\left( {{{{a_1} + 20d - {a_1}} \over {{a_1}{a_2}}}} \right) = {4 \over 9} \Rightarrow {a_1}{a_2} = 45$ .... (1) Now sum of first 21 terms = ${{21} \over 2}(2{a_1} + 20d) = 189$ $\Rightarrow$ a1 + 10d = 9 ..... (2) For equation (1) & (2) we get a1 = 3 & d = ${3 \over 5}$ or a1 = 15 & d = $ - {3 \over 5}$ So, a6 . a16 = (a1 + 5d) (a1 + 15d) $\Rightarrow$ a6 a16 = 72 Option (b)

Show Answer
Practice Quiz
Correct Answer: 2021
Explanation:
$a_{1}, a_{2}, a_{3}, \ldots, a_{10}$ are in AP common difference $=-3$ $b_{1}, b_{2}, b_{3}, \ldots, b_{10}$ are in GP common ratio $=2$ Since, $c_{k}=a_{k}+b_{k}, k=1,2,3 \ldots \ldots, 10$
$\therefore c_{2} =a_{2}+b_{2}=12$
$ c_{3} =a_{3}+b_{3}=13$
Now, $\mathrm{C}_{3}-\mathrm{C}_{2}=1$
$
\begin{array}{ll}
\Rightarrow & \left(a_{3}-a_{2}\right)+\left(b_{3}-b_{2}\right) \neq 1 \Rightarrow-3+\left(2 b_{2}-b_{2}\right) \neq 1 \\
\Rightarrow & b_{2}=4 \\
\therefore & a_{2}=8
\end{array}
$
So, AP is $11,8,5, \ldots$.
Now, $\sum_{k=1}^{10} C_{k}=\sum_{k=1}^{10} a_{k}+\sum_{k=1}^{10} b_{k}$
$
\begin{aligned}
&=\left(\frac{10}{2}\right)[22+9(-3)]+2\left(\frac{2^{10}-1}{2-1}\right) \\
&=5(22-27)+2(1023)=2046-25 \\
