Analyzing the statement, the first hundred even numbers are 2, 4, ..., 200. Divisible by 5, the series becomes 10, 20, ..., 200, an arithmetic progression with first term a_1 = 10, last term a_n = 200, and common difference d = 10. The sum of an AP is S_n = n/2 (a_1 + a_n); substituting gives S_20 = 100/2 (10 + 200) = 500, but this logic mistake results in a misunderstanding of divisibility. The statement as true exhibits authorial error .
To find the nth term of an arithmetic progression with given sum S_n = 2n^2 + 5n, we can use the formula S_n = n/2 [2a + (n-1)d]. Here, we identify that 2a + (n-1)d must equate to the quadratic expression in some form of 2n^2 + 5n. Upon solving, we align the formula with the structure of the sum and find that the nth term a_n = S_n - S_{n-1}, leading to a_n = 4n + 3 .
The series with nth term t_n = (9 - 5n) fits the arithmetic progression model due to its linear nth term formula. The sum of n such terms is given by S_n = n/2 [2a + (n-1)d]. Here, setting a_n = 9 - 5(n-1)=9 - 5n + 5=14 - 5n, provides consistency in terms, and through alignment with standard AP summation principles, it derives similarly .
To find the value of n where both arithmetic progressions share a common term, we equate their nth terms. The nth term of the first progression is a_n = 61 + 2n and for the second, it is a_n = 3 + 7(n-1). Setting them equal: 61 + 2n = 3 + 7(n-1), solving for n gives n = 15. Therefore, the nth term where they are equal is n = 15 .
The cost of digging increasing by ₹ 20 per meter after a start cost of ₹ 150 represents an arithmetic progression. Each term increases by a constant amount (₹ 20), fitting the definition of an arithmetic progression where the nth term is given by a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d, here d = ₹ 20 .
The common difference (d) of an arithmetic progression can be found using the formula for the nth term: a_n = a_1 + (n-1)d. Given a_23 - a_19 = 32, we have (a_1 + 22d) - (a_1 + 18d) = 32, which simplifies to 4d = 32, thus d = 8. Therefore, the common difference is 8 .
To determine the first negative term of the series 25, 20, 15,..., we use the nth term formula: a_n = 25 + (n-1)(-5). We want a_n < 0, so 25 - 5n + 5 < 0 results in 30 < 5n, dividing by 5 gives n > 6. Therefore, the first negative term is the 7th term .
For three numbers in an arithmetic progression whose sum is 30, we represent them as a-d, a, a+d. Their sum is (a-d) + a + (a+d) = 3a = 30, consequently, a = 10. Therefore, the middle term is 10 .
Given Akshar deposits coins increasing by one each day, it represents an arithmetic sequence with the first term a_1 = 1 and common difference d = 1. The total number of coins is the sum S_n = n/2 [2a_1 + (n-1)d] = 190. Solving n/2 [2(1) + (n-1)(1)] = 190 yields n = 20 days, the maximum he can contribute before over 190 .
