CASE STUDY BASED QUESTIONS


TOPIC: ARITHMETIC PROGRESSION

Case Study 1
Ananya saves Rs. 24 during the first month Rs. 30 in the second month
and Rs. 36 in the third month. She continues to save in this manner.

On the basis of above information answer the following questions.


(i) Whether the monthly savings of Ananya form an AP or not? If yes
then write the first term and common difference.
(ii) What is the amount that she will save in 15th month?
(iii) In which month, will she save Rs. 66?
OR
What is the common difference of an AP whose nth term is 8 – 5n?

Case Study 2
Mohan is an auto driver. His autorickshaw was too old and he had to
spend a lot of money on repair and maintenance every now and then. One
day he got to know about the EV scheme of the Government of India
where he can not only get a good exchange bonus but also avail heavy
discounts on the purchase of an electric vehicle. So, he took a loan of
1,18,000 from a reputed bank and purchased a new autorickshaw.
Mohan repays his total loan of 118000 rupees by paying every month
starting with the first instalment of 1000 rupees.
(i) If he increases the instalment by 100 rupees every month, then
what amount will be paid by him in the 30th instalment?
(ii) If he increases the instalment by 100 rupees every month, then
what amount of loan does he still have to pay after 30th
instalment?
OR
If he increases the instalment by 200 rupees every month, then
what amount would he pay in 40th instalment?
(iii) If he increases the instalment by 100 rupees every month, then
what amount will be paid by him in the 100th instalment.

Case Study 3
A school auditorium has to be constructed with a capacity of 2000 people.
The chairs in the auditorium are arranged in a concave shape facing
towards the stage in such a way that each succeeding row has 5 seats
more than the previous one.

(a) If the first row has 15 seats, then how many seats will be there in 12th
row?
(b) If there are 15 rows in the auditorium, then how many seats will be
there in the middle row?
(c) If total 1875 guests were there in the auditorium for a particular
event, then how many rows will be needed to make all of them sit?
OR
(c) If total 1250 guests were there in the auditorium for a particular event,
then how many rows will be left blank out of total 30 rows?

Common questions

Ananya will save Rs. 108 in the 15th month. It is calculated using the formula for the nth term of an AP: a_n = a + (n - 1)d, where a=24 and d=6. Therefore, a_15 = 24 + (15 - 1)6 = Rs. 108 .

Yes, Ananya's monthly savings form an AP with the first term as Rs. 24 and a common difference of Rs. 6 .

25 rows are required. Total seats can be determined by solving the sum of an AP for S_n until it equals or exceeds 1875. Here, n/2(2*15 + (n-1)5) = 1875, solving this gives n = 25 .

Mohan will pay Rs. 3900 in the 30th instalment. The nth term in this AP is a_n = a + (n-1)d, where a=1000 and d=100. Therefore, a_30 = 1000 + (30-1)100 = Rs. 3900 .

There will be 45 seats in the 8th row, the middle row when there are 15 rows. The middle row is the (n+1)/2 row if n is odd, hence a_8 = 15 + (8-1)5 = 45 seats .

There are 70 seats in the 12th row. The nth term of the AP is a_n = a + (n-1)d, where a=15 and d=5, so a_12 = 15 + (12-1)*5 = 70 seats .

Mohan will pay Rs. 8,800 in the 40th instalment. Using the formula for nth term: a_n = a + (n-1)d, where a=1000 and d=200, gives a_40 = 1000 + (40-1)200 = Rs. 8,800 .

8 rows will remain unused. Calculate usable rows by solving S_n for 1250, same AP setup as prior. Here, solving n/2(2*15 + (n-1)5) = 1250 gives n = 22. Total rows minus used rows = 30 - 22 = 8 .

Mohan will still owe Rs. 31,500 after 30 instalments. The total paid after 30 instalments is the sum of progressions: S_n = n/2(2a + (n-1)d). So, S_30 = 30/2(2*1000+(30-1)*100) = Rs. 86,500. Remaining loan = 1,18,000 - 86,500 = Rs. 31,500 .

Ananya will save Rs. 66 in the eighth month. By setting the nth term a_n = 66 and solving 24 + (n-1)6 = 66 gives n = 8 .
