are formed as shown in the figure below, such that there is one triangle in the
first row, three triangles in the second row, five triangles in the third row and
so on.
Based on the given information, answer the following questions using
arithmetic progression.
(i) How many triangles will be there in bottom most row?
(ii) How many triangles will be there in fourth row from the bottom?
th
(iii) Find the total number of triangles of side 1cm each till 8 row.

row than in first rows?
1. Cable cars at hill stations are one of the major tourist attractions. On a hill
station, the length of cable car ride from base point to top m ost point on the
hill is 5000m . Poles are installed at equal intervals on the way to provide
support to the cables on which car moves. The distance of first pole from
base point is 200 m and subsequent poles are installed at equal interval of
150 m. Further, the distance of last pole from the top is 300 m . Based on
above information, answer the following questions using Arithmetic
Progression:
th
(i) Find the distance of 10 pole from the base.
th th
(ii) Find the distance between 15 pole and 25 pole.
th
(iii) Find the time taken by the cable car to reach 15 pole from the top if it
is moving at the speed of 5 m/ sec and coming from top.
(iv) Find the total number of poles installed along the entire journey.
1. In order to organise, Annual Sports day, a school prepared an eight lane
running track with an integrated football field inside the track area as shown
below:
The length of the innermost lane of the track is 400m and each subsequent
lane is 7.6m longer than the preceeding lane.
Based on the information, answer the following questions:
th
(i) What is the length of the 6 lane?
th th
(ii) How long is the 8 lane than that of 4 lane?
(iii) While practising a race, a student took one round each in first six
lanes. Find the total distance covered by the student.
(iv) A student took one round each in lane 4 to lane 8. Find the total
distance covered by the student.
