Show Answer
Practice Quiz
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
Given: $a_1=5$ and $a_{20}=25$
Also given, $a_1, a_2, a_3, \ldots \ldots \ldots$ are in H.P.
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{a_1}, \frac{1}{a_2}, \frac{1}{a_3}, \ldots \ldots \ldots$ are in A.P.
Let D be the common difference of above A. P.
$\begin{array}{ll}
\therefore & \frac{1}{a_{20}}=\frac{1}{a_1}+(20-1) d \\
\Rightarrow & \frac{1}{25}=\frac{1}{5}+19 d \\
\Rightarrow & d=\frac{-4}{475}
\end{array}$
$\begin{aligned}
& \text { Now, } \quad \frac{1}{a_n}=\frac{1}{a_1}+(n-1) d \\
& \Rightarrow \quad \frac{1}{a_n}=\frac{1}{5}+(n-1) \cdot\left(\frac{-4}{475}\right) \\
& \Rightarrow \quad \frac{1}{a_n}=\frac{95-4 n+4}{475} \\
& \Rightarrow \quad a_n=\frac{475}{99-4 n} \\
\end{aligned}$
Apply $\quad a_n<0$
$\Rightarrow \quad \frac{475}{99-4 n}<0$
The least positive integral value of $n$ is 25 which satisfy the above condition.

${{n\left( {4{n^2} - 1} \right){c^2}} \over 3}$
D.
${{n\left( {4{n^2} + 1} \right){c^2}} \over 6}$
Show Answer
Practice Quiz
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
We have ${t_n} = c\{ {n^2} - {(n - 1)^2}\} $
$ = c(2n - 1)$
$ \Rightarrow t_n^2 = {c^2}(4{n^2} - 4n + 1)$
$ \Rightarrow \sum\limits_{n = 1}^n {t_n^2 = {c^2}\left\{ {{{4n(n + 1)(2n + 1)} \over 6} - {{4n(n + 1)} \over 2} + n} \right\}} $
$ = {{{c^2}n} \over 6}\{ 4(n + 1)(2n + 1) - 12(n + 1) + 6\} $
$ = {{{c^2}n} \over 3}\{ 4{n^2} + 6n + 2 - 6n - 6 + 3\} = {{{c^2}} \over 3}n(4{n^2} - 1)$
which is the sum of the square of $n$ terms.

Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Given, $a_1,a_2,a_3,a_4$ are in G.P.
Then, $b_1,b_2,b_3,b_4$ are the numbers.
$a_1,a_1+a_2,a_1+a_2+a_3,a_1+a_2+a_3+a_4$ or $a,a+ar,a+ar+ar^2,a+ar+ar^2+ar^3$
Clearly above numbers are neither in A.P. nor in G.P. and hence statement 1 is true.
Also, ${1 \over a},{1 \over {a + ar}},{1 \over {a + ar + a{r^2}}},{1 \over {a + ar + a{r^2} + a{r^3}}}$ are not in H.P.
$\therefore$ $b_1,b_2,b_3,b_4$ are not in H.P.
$\therefore$ Statement 2 is false.

Also, we are given
$\mathrm{A}_{n-1}$ and $\mathrm{H}_{n-1}$ have A.M, G.M and H.M as $\mathrm{A}_{n}$, $\mathrm{G}_{n}$ and $\mathrm{H}_{n}$
$\therefore$ By definition, we have
$\mathrm{A}_{n}=\frac{\mathrm{A}_{n-1}+\mathrm{H}_{n-1}}{2}, \mathrm{G}_{n}^{2}=\mathrm{A}_{n-1} \text { and } \mathrm{H}_{n-1}$
$\frac{2}{\mathrm{H}_{n}}=\frac{1}{\mathrm{~A}_{n-1}}+\frac{1}{\mathrm{H}_{n-1}} \text { for }$
$n=2, \mathrm{G}_{2}^{2}=\mathrm{A}_{1} \mathrm{H}_{1}=\mathrm{G}_{1}^{2} \text { so on }

$ = \sum\limits_{r = 1}^n {\left( {{r^3} - {{{r^2}} \over 2} + {r \over 2}} \right)} $
$ = \sum {{n^3} - {1 \over 2}\sum {{n^2} + {1 \over 2}\sum n } } $
$ = {{{n^2}{{(n + 1)}^2}} \over 4} - {{n(n + 1)(2n + 1)} \over {12}} + {{n(n + 1)} \over {2 \times 2}}$
$ = {{n(n + 1)} \over 4}\left[ {n(n + 1) - {{(2n + 1)} \over 3} + 1} \right]$
$ = {{n(n + 1)[3{n^2} + n + 2]} \over {12}}$

Show Answer

Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
let $S_{n}$ be the sum of all.
run scored in $\mathrm{K}$ - matches.
i.e., $\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{n}}=\sum_\limits{k=1}^{n} k .2^{n+1-k}$
$\begin{aligned}& =2^{n+1} \sum_{k=1}^{n} k \cdot 2^{-k} \\
S_{n} & =2^{n+1}\left[\frac{1}{2}+\frac{2}{2^{2}}+\frac{3}{2^{3}}+\ldots . \cdot \frac{n}{2^{n}}\right]\quad .... \mathrm{(i)}
\end{aligned}$
Multiply $S_{n}$ by $\frac{1}{2}$, we have.
$\frac{S_{n}}{2}=2^{n+1}\left[\frac{1}{2^{2}}+\frac{2}{2^{3}}+\frac{3}{2^{4}}+\ldots \ldots+\frac{n}{2^{n+1}}\right]$ ..... (ii)
Subtract (ii) from (i), we have.
$\begin{aligned}
& \frac{S_{n}}{2}=2^{n+1}\left[\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2^{2}}+\frac{1}{2^{3}}+\ldots .+\frac{1}{2^{n}}-\frac{n}{2^{n+1}}\right] \\
&=2^{n+1}\left[\frac{\frac{1}{2}\left(1-\frac{1}{2^{n}}\right)}{\frac{1}{2}}-\frac{n}{2^{n+1}}\right] \\
&= 2^{n+1}\left[\frac{2^{n}-1}{2^{n}}-\frac{n}{2^{n+1}}\right] \\
&= {\left[2^{n+1}-2-n\right] } \\
& \Rightarrow \quad S_{n}= 2\left[2^{n+1}-2-n\right] \\
& \text { Now, } S_{n}= \frac{n+1}{4}\left(2^{n+1}-n-2\right) \text { given, } \\ & 2({2^{n + 1}} - 2 - n) = {{n + 1} \over 4}({2^{n + 1}} - n - 2) \\
& \Rightarrow \quad \frac{n+1}{4}=2\end{aligned}$
$\Rightarrow \quad n+1=8\quad \Rightarrow n=7$

Correct Answer: 18900
Explanation:
Given,
${l_1},{l_2},\,.......,\,{l_{100}}$ are in A.P with common difference ${d_1}$.
So from property of A.P we can say,
${l_2} = {l_1} + {d_1}$
${l_3} = {l_1} + 2{d_1}$
$ \vdots $
${l_{100}} = {l_1} + 99{d_1}$
Also given,
${w_1},{w_2},\,......\,,\,{w_{100}}$ are in A.P with common difference ${d_2}$.
$\therefore$ From the property of A.P we can say,
${w_2} = {w_1} + {d_2}$
${w_3} = {w_1} + 2{d_2}$
$ \vdots $
${w_{100}} = {w_1} + 99{d_2}$
Now, also given,
${d_1}{d_2} = 10$
and ${R_i}$ is a rectangle whose length is ${l_i}$ and width is ${w_i}$ and area ${A_i}$.
$\therefore$ We know, area of rectangle
${A_i} = {l_i} \times {w_i}$
$\therefore$ ${A_{51}} = {l_{51}} \times {w_{51}}$
and ${A_{50}} = {l_{50}} \times {w_{50}}$
Given, ${A_{51}} - {A_{50}} = 1000$
$ \Rightarrow ({l_1} + 50{d_1})({w_1} + 50{d_2}) - ({l_1} + 49{d_1})({w_1} + 49{d_2}) = 1000$
$ \Rightarrow [{l_1}{w_1} + 2500{d_1}{d_2} + 50({l_1}{d_2} + {d_1}{w_1})] - [{l_1}{w_1} + 49 \times 49{d_1}{d_2} + 49({l_1}{d_2} + {w_1}{d_1})] = 1000$
$ \Rightarrow [{(50)^2}{d_1}{d_2} - {(49)^2}{d_1}{d_2}] + (50 - 49)({l_1}{d_2} + {d_1}{w_1}) = 1000$
$ \Rightarrow (99 \times 1){d_1}{d_2} + {l_1}{d_2} + {d_1}{w_1} = 1000$
$ \Rightarrow 99 \times 10 + {l_1}{d_2} + {w_1}{d_1} = 1000$
$ \Rightarrow {l_1}{d_2} + {w_1}{d_1} = 10$
Now,
${A_{100}} - {A_{90}}$
$ = {l_{100}}\,.\,{w_{100}} - {l_{90}}\,.\,{w_{90}}$
$ = ({l_1} + 99{d_1})({w_1} + 99{d_2}) - ({l_1} + 89{d_1})({w_1} + 89{d_2})$
$ = [{l_1}{w_1} + {(99)^2}{d_1}{d_2} + 99({l_1}{d_2} + {w_1}{d_1})] - [{l_1}{w_1} + {(89)^2}{d_1}{d_2} + 89({l_1}{d_2} + {w_1}{d_1})]$
$ = [{(99)^2} - {89^2}]{d_1}{d_2} + 10({l_1}{d_2} + {w_1}{d_1})$
$ = 188 \times 10 \times {d_1}{d_2} + 10 \times 10$
$ = 188 \times 10 \times 10 + 100$
$ = 18800 + 100$
$ = 18900$

Explanation:
Given arithmetic progression of positive integers terms a1 , a2 , a3 , ..... having common difference '2' and geometric progression of positive integers terms b1 , b2 , b3 , .... having common ratio '2' with a1 = b1 = c, such that 2(a1 + a2 + a3 + ... + an ) = b1 + b2 + b3 + ... + bn $ \Rightarrow 2 \times {n \over 2}[2C + (n - 1)2] = C\left( {{{{2^n} - 1} \over {2 - 1}}} \right)$ $ \Rightarrow 2nC + 2{n^2} - 2n = {2^n}.C - C$ $ \Rightarrow C[{2^n} - 2n - 1] = 2{n^2} - 2n$ $ \because $ $C \in N \Rightarrow 2{n^2} - 2n \ge {2^n} - 2n - 1$ $ \Rightarrow 2{n^2} + 1 \ge {2^n} \Rightarrow n \le 6$ and, also C > 0 $ \Rightarrow $ n > 2 $ \therefore $ The possible values of n are 3, 4, 5, 6 So, at $n = 3,\,C = {{(2 \times 9) - 6} \over {8 - 6 - 1}} = 12$ at, $n = 4,\,C = {{32 - 8} \over {16 - 8 - 1}} = {{24} \over 9} = {8 \over 3} \notin N$ at, $n = 5,\,C = {{50 - 10} \over {32 - 10 - 1}} = {{40} \over {21}} \notin N$ and at, $n = 6,\,C = {{72 - 12} \over {64 - 12 - 1}} = {{60} \over {51}} \notin N$ $ \therefore $ The required value of C = 12 for n = 3 so number of possible value of C is 1

Correct Answer: 157
Explanation:
Given that, AP(a ; d) denote the set of all the terms of an infinite arithmetic progression with first term 'a' and common difference d > 0. Now, let mth term of first progression $AP(1;3) = 1 + (m - 1)3 = 3m - 2$ .... (i) and nth term of progression $AP(2;5) = 2 + (n - 1)5 = 5m - 3$ .... (ii) and rth term of third progression $AP(3;7) = 3 + (r - 1)7 = 7m - 4$ .... (iii) are equal. Then, $3m - 2 = 5n - 3 = 7r - 4$ Now, for $AP(1;3) \cap AP(2;5) \cap AP(3;7)$, the common terms of first and second progressions, $m = {{5n - 1} \over 3}$ $ \Rightarrow $ n = 2, 5, 11, ... and the common terms of second and the third progressions, $r = {{5n + 1} \over 7}$ $ \Rightarrow $ n = 4, 11, .... Now, the first common term of first, second and third progressions (when n = 11), so a = 2 + (11 - 1)5 = 52 and d = LCM (3, 5, 7) = 105 So, $AP(1;3) \cap AP(2;5) \cap AP(3;7)$ = AP(52; 105) So, a = 52 and d = 105 $ \Rightarrow $ a + d = 157.00

The sides of a right angled triangle are in arithmetic progression. If the triangle has area 24, then what is the length of its smallest side?
Show Answer

Correct Answer: 6
Explanation:
Let the sides be given by a $-$ d, a, a + d, where (a, d > 0). Also, d < a.
By the condition,
a2 + (a $-$ d)2 = (a + d)2
$\Rightarrow$ a2 = (a + d)2 $-$ (a $-$ d)2
$\Rightarrow$ a2 = 4ad $\therefore$ a = 4d
Thus the sides are 3d, 4d, 5d.
As area = 24, we have ${1 \over 2}$ . 3d . 4d = 24
$\therefore$ d = 2
The sides are 6, 8, 10./p>

Correct Answer: 9
Explanation:
${{{S_7}} \over {{S_{11}}}} = {6 \over {11}}$ ...... (1)
$130 \le {t_7} \le 140$ ........ (2)
$ \Rightarrow {{{7 \over 2}[2a + 6d]} \over {{{11} \over 2}[2a + 10d]}} = {6 \over {11}}$
$ \Rightarrow {{a + 3d} \over {a + 5d}} = {6 \over 7}$ ....... (3)
$ \Rightarrow {{{t_4}} \over {{4_6}}} = {6 \over 7}$
Let ${t_4} = 6k$, ${t_6} = 7k$;
$2d = k \Rightarrow d = k/2$ and $a + 3d = 6k$
$ \Rightarrow a = 6k - 3k/2 = 9k/2$
Hence, $130 \le {t_7} \le 140$.
$ \Rightarrow 130 \le {{9k} \over 2} + 3k \le 140$
$ \Rightarrow 130 \le {{15k} \over 2} \le 140$
$ \Rightarrow {{52} \over 3} \le k \in {{56} \over 3}$
Since, $k \in N \Rightarrow k = 18$.
$ \Rightarrow d = {k \over 2} = {{18} \over 2} = 9$

Correct Answer: 4
Explanation:
Let $a=a, b=a r$ and $c=a r^2$, where $r$ is integer since ${b \over a}$ is an integer.
According to the question, we have
$\frac{a+b+c}{3}=b+2$ [$ \because $ $($ A.M. $)=(b+2)$]
$ \Rightarrow $ $
\frac{a+a r+a r^2}{3}=a r+2
$
$\begin{aligned} & a+a r+a r^2=3 a r+6 \\\\ &\Rightarrow a r^2-2 r+a=6\end{aligned}$
$\Rightarrow \underbrace{r^2-2 r+1}_{\text {integer }}=\underbrace{\frac{6}{a}}_{\text {integer }}$
$\Rightarrow(r-1)^2=\frac{6}{a}$
If $a=1,2,3,4,5,6$, then it is not a perfect square and integer.
Therefore, the only possibility is that $a=6$. Thus,
$\frac{a^2+a-14}{a+1}=\frac{36+6-14}{6+1}=\frac{284}{7}=4$

Let $a_{1}, a_{2}, a_{3}, \ldots$ be an arithmetic progression with $a_{1}=7$ and common difference 8. Let $T_{1}, T_{2}, T_{3}, \ldots$ be such that $T_{1}=3$ and $T_{n+1}-T_{n}=a_{n}$ for $n \geq 1$. Then, which of the following is/are TRUE ?
B.
$\sum\limits_{k=1}^{20} T_{k}=10510$
D.
$\sum\limits_{k=1}^{30} T_{k}=35610$
Show Answer
Practice Quiz
Correct Answer: B,C
Explanation:
Here $a_n=7+(n-1) 8$ and $\mathrm{T}_1=3$, $a_1=7, d=8$
Also, $ \mathrm{T}_{n+1}=\mathrm{T}_n+a_n$
$\mathrm{T}_n=\mathrm{T}_{n-1}+a_{n-1}$
$\mathrm{T}_2=\mathrm{T}_1+a_1$
$\therefore \mathrm{T}_{n+1}=\left(\mathrm{T}_{n-1}+a_{n-1}\right)+a_n$
$\mathrm{T}_{n+1}=\mathrm{T}_{n-2}+a_{n-2}+a_{n-1}+a_n$
So
$
\begin{aligned}
& \mathrm{T}_{n+1}=\mathrm{T}_1+a_1+a_2 \ldots \ldots a_n \\\\
& \mathrm{~T}_{n+1}=\mathrm{T}_1+\frac{n}{2}(2 \times 7+(n-1) 8) \\\\
& \mathrm{T}_{n+1}=\mathrm{T}_1+n(4 n+3) ........(1)
\end{aligned}
$
For (A), if $ n=19, \mathrm{~T}_{20}=3+(19)(79)=1504$
For (C), if $n=29, \mathrm{~T}_{30}=3+29(119)=3454$
For (B),
$
\begin{aligned}
& \sum_{k=1}^{20} \mathrm{~T}_k =\sum_{k=1}^{20}\left(\mathrm{~T}_1+4 n^2+3 n\right)+3 \\\\
& = 3+\sum_{k=1}^{20}\left(3+4 n^2+3 n\right) \\\\
&= 3+3(19)+\frac{3(19)(20)}{2} +\frac{4(19)(20)(34)}{6} \\\\
&= 3+10507=10510
\end{aligned}
$
Similarly, for (D)
$
\sum\limits_{k=1}^{30} \mathrm{~T}_k=3+\sum\limits_{k=1}^{29}\left(4 n^2+3 n+3\right)=35615
$

Correct Answer: A,B
Explanation:
For option (a) ${S_n}(x) = \sum\limits_{k = 1}^n {{{\cot }^{ - 1}}\left[ {{{1 + k(k + 1){x^2}} \over x}} \right]} $ can be written as ${S_n}(x) = \sum\limits_{k = 1}^n {{{\tan }^{ - 1}}\left[ {{{(k + 1)x - kx} \over {1 + kx\,.\,(k + 1)x}}} \right]} $ $ = \sum\limits_{k = 1}^n {[{{\tan }^{ - 1}}(k + 1)x - {{\tan }^{ - 1}}(kx)]} $ $ = {\tan ^{ - 1}}(n + 1)x - {\tan ^{ - 1}}x$ $ = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {{{nx} \over {1 + (n + 1){x^2}}}} \right)$ Now, ${S_{10}}(x) = ta{n^{ - 1}}\left( {{{10x} \over {1 + 11{x^2}}}} \right)$ $ = {\pi \over 2} - {\cot ^{ - 1}}\left( {{{10x} \over {1 + 11{x^2}}}} \right) = {\pi \over 2} - {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {{{1 + 11{x^2}} \over {10x}}} \right)$ Option (a) is correct. For option (b) $\mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } \cot ({S_n}(x)) = \cot \left( {{{\tan }^{ - 1}}\left( {{x \over {{x^2}}}} \right)} \right)$ $ = \cot \left( {{{\tan }^{ - 1}}\left( {{1 \over x}} \right)} \right) = \cot (co{t^{ - 1}}x) = x,\,x > 0$ Option (b) is correct. For option (c) ${S_3}(x) = {\pi \over 4} \Rightarrow {{3x} \over {1 + 4{x^2}}} = 1$ $ \Rightarrow 4{x^2} - 3x + 1 = 0$ has no real root. Option (c) is incorrect. For option (d) For $x = 1,\,\tan ({S_n}(x)) = {n \over {n + 2}}$ which is greater than ${1 \over 2}$ for n $\ge$ 3 Option (d) is incorrect.

Correct Answer: A,D
Explanation:
$\begin{aligned}
& \text { Given, } \mathrm{S}_n=\sum_{k=1}^{4 n}(-1)^{\frac{k(k+1)}{2}} \cdot \mathrm{K}^2 \\
& \Rightarrow \mathrm{S}_n=-1^2-2^2+3^2+4^2-5^2-6^2+7^2 +8^2-9^2-10^2+11^2+12^2 \ldots \ldots . 4 n \text { terms }
\end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned}
\Rightarrow \mathrm{S}_n= & -\left[1^2+5^2+9^2+\ldots . n \text { terms }\right] \\
& -\left[2^2+6^2+10^2+\ldots n \text { terms }\right] \\
& +\left[3^2+7^2+11^2+\ldots n \text { terms }\right] \\
& +\left[4^2+8^2+12^2+\ldots n \text { terms }\right]
\end{aligned}$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{S}_n=-\sum_\limits{r=1}^n(4 r-3)^2-\sum_\limits{r=1}^n(4 r-2)^2 +\sum_\limits{r=1}^n(4 r-1)^2+\sum_\limits{r=1}^n(4 r)^2$
$\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow \mathrm{S}_n=\sum_{r=1}^n\left((4 r)^2+(4 r-1)^2-(4 r-2)^2-(4 r-3)^2\right) \\
& \Rightarrow \mathrm{S}_n=\sum_{r=1}^n(32 r-12) \\
& \Rightarrow \mathrm{S}_n=32 \sum_{r=1}^n r-\sum_{r=1}^n 12 \\
& \Rightarrow \mathrm{S}_n=32 \cdot \frac{n(n+1)}{2}-12 n \\
& \Rightarrow \mathrm{S}_n=16 n^2+16 n-12 n \\
& \Rightarrow \mathrm{S}_n=4 n(4 n+1)
\end{aligned}$
If $n=9$, then $\mathrm{S}_9=1332$
If $n=8$, then $\mathrm{S}_8=1056$
Hints :
(i) Recall $\sum_\limits{\mathrm{K}=1}^{4 n}(-1)^{\frac{k(k+1)}{2}} \cdot \mathrm{K}^2=-\sum_\limits{r=1}^n(4 r-3)^2-\sum_\limits{r=1}^n(4 r-2)^2+\sum_\limits{r=1}^n(4 r-1)^2+\sum_\limits{r=1}^n(4 r)^2$
(ii) $\sum_\limits{r=1}^n a \cdot f(r)+b \cdot g(r)-c \cdot h(r)
= \sum_\limits{r=1}^n a \cdot f(r)+\sum_\limits{r=1}^n b \cdot g(r)-\sum_\limits{r=1}^n c \cdot h(r)$
$=a \sum_\limits{r=1}^n f(r)+b \sum_\limits{r=1}^n g(r)-c \sum_\limits{r=1}^n h(r)$
(iii) $\sum_\limits{r=1}^n r=\frac{n(n+1)}{2}, \sum_\limits{r=1}^n a=a r$ where is a constant.

Show Answer
Practice Quiz
Correct Answer: A,D
Explanation:
${S_n} < \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \infty } {S_n} = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{n \to \infty } \sum\limits_{k = 1}^n {{1 \over n}{1 \over {1 + {k \over n} + \left( {{k \over {{n^2}}}} \right)}}} $
$ = \int\limits_0^1 {{{dx} \over {1 + x + {x^2}}} = {\pi \over {3\sqrt 3 }}} $
As
$h\sum\limits_{k = 0}^n {f(kh) > \int\limits_0^1 {f(x)dx > h} } $
$\sum\limits_{k = 1}^n {f(kh)} $
So, ${T_n} > {\pi \over {3\sqrt 3 }}$
