@ACE 17. The sum of three numbers in an increasing geometric progression is 42. If the first term and the second term are each multiplied with 2 and the third term is multiplied with 3/2, the terms will be in arithmetic progression. What are the original three terms in the G.P. (a) 12,16,24 (b) 18,36,48 (©) 6,12,24 (d) 12,24,36 8. A ball is dropped from a height of 240 m. It rebounds to five-eighths of the height from which it falls. If it continues to fall and rebound this way, how much distance does the ball cover before coming to rest? (a) 640 m (b) 1040 m (c) 840 m (d) 1280 m 19. If S; = 2,5,8,11,.... Up to 100 terms and S2 = 4,6,8,10,....up to 100 terms, then how many terms of S) and Sp are identical? (a) 27 (b) 33 ()37 (@s1 20, The mid-points of a given square are joined to form a second square. A third square is drawn inside the second square in the same way and the process is continued indefinitely. Find the sum of the permeters of all the squares (in cm), if the side of the first square is 8 cm. (a) 32-8V2 (©) 244122 (b) 64+32V2 (d) Infinity 21. An equilateral triangle is drawn by joining the midpoints of the sides of another equilateral triangle. A third equilateral triangle is drawn inside the second one joining the midpoints of the sides of the second equilateral triangle, and the process continues infinitely. Find the sum of the perimeters of all the equilateral triangles, if the side of the largest equilateral triangle is 24 units. (a) 288 units (c) 36 units (b) 72 units (A) 144 units 22. The mid-points of the sides of a triangle are joined to form a second triangle. The midpoints of the sides of the second triangle are joined to form a third triangle. If this process is repeated infinite times, then the sum of the areas of the triangles so formed is how many times the area of the first triangle? (a) 4/3 (b) 3/4 (c) 5/4 (d) Can’t be determined 23. Two series, S; and Sp, each of 150 terms, are 1, 5, 9.. and 3, 6, 9, respectively. How many terms of S; and ; are identical? (a) 39 (b) 38 (0) 36 (4) 371 (ACE L 24.
