Solution:
We shall first find the common index. For this, we find the l.c.m. of the
indices 4, 6, 12. The l.c.m. of 4, 6, 12 is 12. Then we convert the surds into
surds with index 12.

Example 7:
Find the number of integers between 60 and 600 which are divisible by 9.
Solution:
The first number divisible by 9 between 60 and 600 is 63. The last number
divisible by 9 which is less than 600 is 594. The sequence 63, 72, 81, … 594 is an
A.P.
Here, a = 63, d = 72 – 63 = 9
tn = 594 = a + (n – 1)d = 594
= 63 + (n – 1) 9 = 594 = (n – 1) 9 = 594 – 63 = 531
= n – 1 = 59 = n = 60
/ There are 60 integers between 60 and 600 which are divisible by 9.
Note: If each term of a G.P. be multiplied or divided by the same non zero number, the
resulting series is also a G.P.
Example 8:
Example 9:
The sixth and the tenth term of a G.P. are 63 and 5103 respectively. Find the G.P.
Solution:
t6 = 63, t10 = 5103

= = = r4 = 81 ∴ r = ±3
t6 ar 5 63
Substituting r = 3 in t6, we get

Example 12:
Solution:
The given series is an A.P.
Here a = 3, d = 8, tn = 787 = l
tn = a + (n – 1)d = 787

Normally by speed of the boat or swimmer we mean the speed of the boat
(or swimmer) in still water.
If the boat (or the swimmer) moves against the stream then it is called
upstream and if it moves with the stream, it is called downstream.
ds + us
Speed in still water B = 2 km/hr
ds − us
Rate of stream S = 2 km/hr
Example
1. A man can row upstream at 8 kmph and downstream at 10 kmph. What is
the speed of the boat in still water and rate of stream/current?
Solution
Speed downstream = ds Km/hr
Speed upstream = us Km/hr
ds + us 10 + 8
Speed of the boat in still water(B) = 2 = 2 = 9kmph.
ds − us 10 − 8
Rate of stream / velocity = 2 = 2 = 1 kmph.

iii.If b2 − 4ac < 0 ,
then b2 − 4ac is not a real number. Therefore there is no
real root for the given quadratic equation.

Length of Arc
• If θ is the central angle and r is the radius of a sector, then its arc
length is given by l = θ × 2π r units.
