1. If the 10th term of an A.P. is 52 and the 17th term is 20 more than the 13th term, find A.P.
𝑛
2. In an A.P., the sum of first 𝑛 terms is 2 (3𝑛 + 5) Find the 25th term of the A.P.
3. If in an A.P., the sum of first m terms is n and the sum of its first 𝑛 term is 𝑚, then prove
that the sum of its first (𝑚 + 𝑛) terms is [– (𝑚 + 𝑛)].
4. Show that the sum of all terms of an A.P. whose first term is 𝑎, the second term is 𝑏 and
(𝑎+𝑐)(𝑏+𝑐−2𝑎)
the last term is 𝑐 is equal to .
2(𝑏−𝑎)
5. If Sn, the sum of first 𝑛 terms of an A.P. is given by 𝑠𝑛 = 3𝑛2 − 4𝑛. Find the nth term.
6. In an A.P., if the common difference (𝑑) = (– 4), and the seventh term (a7) is 4, then find
the first term.
7. In an A.P. if the sum of third and seventh terms are zero. Find its 5th term.
8. The sum of four consecutive numbers in A.P. is 32 and the ratio of the product of the first
and last term to the product of two middle terms is 7: 15. Find the numbers.
9. If the 10th term of an A.P. is 52 and the 17th term is 20 more than the 13th term, find A.P.
10. In an A.P. of 50 terms, the sum of the first 10 terms is 210 and the sum of its last 15 terms
is 2565. Find the A.P.
11. If the sum of first four terms of an A.P. is 40 and that of first 14 terms is 280. Find the sum
of its first 𝑛 terms.
12. If the last term of an A.P. of 30 terms is 119 and the 8th term from the end (towards the
first term) is 91, then find the common difference of the A.P. Hence, find the sum of all the
terms of the A.P.

ASSERTION AND REASON BASED QUESTIONS
(A) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
(B) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
(C) A is true but R is false
(D) A is false but R is True
14. Assertion (A): If nth term of an A.P. is (2𝑛 + 1)then the sum of its first three terms is 15.
Reason (R): The sum of first 16 terms of the A.P. 10, 6, 2,... is 420.
15. Assertion (A): If the second term of an A.P., is 13 and the fifth term is 25, then its 7th term
is 33.
Reason (R): If the common difference of an A.P. is 5, then 𝑎18 − 𝑎13is 25.
16. Assertion (A): The fourth term from the end of the A.P., – 11, – 8, – 5, . . . , 49 is 40.
Reason (R): If the nth term of an A.P., – 1, 4, 9, 14, . .. is 129, then the value of 𝑛 is 100.
17. Assertion (A): If the sum of first k terms of an A.P. is 3𝑘 2 − 𝑘 and its common difference
is 6, then the first term is 5.
Reason (R): If the nth term of an A.P. is 7 – 3𝑛, then the sum of 25 terms is (– 800).
18. Assertion (A): If 𝑎18 − 𝑎14 = 32, then the common difference of an A.P., is (– 8).
Reason (R): If 7 times the 7th term of an A.P. is equal to 11 times its 11th term, then its 18th
term will be 0.
CASE BASED QUESTIONS
19. Read the following passage and answer the questions below:
The school auditorium was to be constructed to accommodate at least 1500 people. The
chairs are to be placed in concentric circular arrangement in such a way that each
succeeding circular row has 10 seats more than the previous one.
1) If the first circular row has 30 seats, how many seats will be there in the 10th row?
2) For 1500 seats in the auditorium, how many rows need to be there?
OR
If 1500 seats are to be arranged in the auditorium, how many seats are still left to be put
after 10th row?
3) If there were 17 rows in the auditorium, how many seats will be there in the middle
row?
20. India is competitive manufacturing location due to the low cost of manpower and strong
technical and engineering capabilities contributing to higher quality production runs. The
production of TV sets in a factory increases uniformly by a fixed number every year. It
produced 16000 sets in 6th year and 22600 sets in 9th year.
1) Find the production during first year.
OR
In which year, the production is 29,200 sets.
2) Find the production during 8th year.
3) Find the production during first 3 years.
