Q.23 The number of terms common to the two A.P.’s 3, 7, 11, ….. 407 and 2, 9, 16, …. 709 is ___________.
Ans. [14]
Sol. First A.P. is 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23, ..... 407
Second A.P. is 2, 9, 16, 23, ..... 709
First common term = 23
Common difference d = L.C.M. (4, 7) = 28
Last term  407
 23 + (n – 1) (28)  407
 n  14.7
So, n = 14

Q.24 If the curves, x2 – 6x + y2 + 8 = 0 and x2 – 8y + y2 + 16 – k = 0, (k > 0) touch each other at a point, then the
largest value of k is ______________.
Ans. [36]
Sol. C1 = (3, 0), C2(0, 4)
r1 = 9  0  8 = 1; r2 = 16  16  k = k
Two circles touch each other
 C1C2 = |r 1 ± r2|
5 = |1 ± k|
1+ k = 5 or k – 1= 5
 k = 16 or k = 36
Maximum value of k = 36
