Answer4 Correct Explanation for the correct answer Audio file
Option path
45 Answer2 Given:
First term (a) = 6
Number of terms (n) = 10
Common difference (d) = 9 − 6 = 3
Tenth term of an AP can be calculated by substituting

the values in the following formula:
an = a + (n − 1)d
= 6 + (10 − 1)3
= 6 + (9)3
= 6 + 27
= 33
Therefore, 33 is the tenth term of the given AP.
AP with d = Answer2 For the given series:

−4 −20, −12, −4, 4,…
Common difference (d) = −12 − (−20)

= −12 + 20
=8
Since the difference between any two consecutive
numbers of the given series is 8, the given series is an
AP with common difference (d) = 8.
12, 15, 18, 21 Answer4 Given:

First term (a) = 12
Common difference (d) = 3
Therefore,
First term (a) = 12
Second term (a + d) = 12 + 3 = 15
Third term (a + 2d) = 15 + 3 = 18
Fourth term (a + 3d) = 18 + 3 = 21
Therefore, the first four terms of the AP are 12, 15, 18,
21.
1, 3, 8, 10, … Answer2 For the given series:
−10, −5, 0, 5, …
Common difference (d) = t2 −t1

= −5 − (−10)
= −5 + 10
=5
d = t 3 − t2
= 0 − (− 5)
=0+5
= 5
d = t 4 − t3
=5−0
=5
Since the common difference is the same, this is an AP.
−30 Answer3 Given:

First term (a) = 8
Common difference (d) = 5 − 8 = −3
30th term of the AP can be calculated by the following

formula:
a30 = a + (n − 1)d
= 8 + (30 − 1)(− 3)
= 8 + (29)(− 3)
= 8 − 87
= −79
Therefore, the 30th term of the given AP is −79.
−2a Answer1 Given A.P,

2a, 4a, 6a, 8a, …
Common difference (d) = t2 − t1

= 4a − 2a = 2a
d = t 3 − t2
= 6a − 4a
= 2a
d = t 4 − t3
= 8a − 6a
= 2a
Thus, the common difference is 2a.
Rs. 10,000 Answer1 Given:
Salary in the first year (a) = Rs. 5000
Increase in salary every year (d) = Rs. 500
Therefore, Salary of the employee in the fifth year can

be calculated by the following formula:
a5 = a + (n − 1)d
= 5000 + (5 − 1)500
= 5000 + (4)500
= 5000 + 2000
= 7000
Therefore, salary of the employee in the fifth year is
Rs. 7000.
Rs. 200 Answer2 Given:

First term (a) = 5
Amount required for the trip can be calculated by the

following formula:
a100 = a + (n − 1)d
= 5 + (100 − 1)
= 5 + (99)5
= 5 + 495
= 500
Therefore, the required amount of the trip is Rs. 500.
70 Answer1 Given,
2nd term of the AP = 7
5th term of the AP = 19
Let first term be a and common difference be d.

In an A.P,
2nd term = a + d
7 = a + d.....(1)
5th term = a + 4d
19 = a + 4d....(2)
Subtracting equations 1 and 2, we get:
3d = 12
d=4
Substituting this value on equation (1),
a+4=7
a=7−4
a=3
Thus, the 10th term of AP can be calculated by the
following formula:
a10 = a + (n − 1)d
= 3 + (10 − 1)4
= 3 + (9)4
= 3 + 36
= 39
Therefore, the 10th term of the given AP is 39.
650 Answer4 Series of even numbers from 1 to 50 will be:
2, 4, 6, 8, ...., 50
Here,
First term (a) = 2,
Common difference (d) = t2 − t1
=4−2=2
Even numbers from 1 to 50 (n) = 25
Sum of an AP of 25 terms can be calculated using the

following formula:
S25 = n/2 [2a + (n − 1)d]
= 25/2 [2(2) + (25 − 1)2]
= 25/2 [4 + (24)2]
= 25/2 [4 + 48]
= 25/2 (52)
= 25 (26)
= 650
Therefore, the sum of even numbers from 1 to 50 is
650.
Rs. 32 Answer3 Given:

First term (a) = 2
Therefore, the penalty can be calculated by the

following formula:
Sn = n/2 (2a + (n − 1)d
S15 = 15/2 (2(2) + (15 − 1)0)
= 15/2 (4 − 0)
= 15/2 × (4)
= 30
Therefore, the total penalty is Rs. 30.
24 Answer4 Given:
First term (a) = −4,
Now, nth term of an AP is given by:

an = a + (n – 1)d
Therefore,
Eighth term = −4 + (8 – 1)(2) = 10
Sum of n terms = n/2 (a + an)
Thus, sum of eight terms:

S8 = 8/2 ((− 4) + 10) = 24
Therefore, sum of first 8 terms is 24.
19 Answer3 Given:
First term (a) = 2
Second term (a + d) = 5
Third term (a + 2d) = 8
Therefore,
Common difference, d = second term – first term
=5–2=3

an = a + (n – 1)d
Therefore,
53 = 2 + (n – 1)(3)
53 = 2 + 3n – 3
53 = 3n – 1
54 = 3n
18 = n
Thus, 53 is the 18th term of the given AP.
l = 50; d = 10 Answer1 Given:
First term (a) = −5
Total number of terms in the AP (n) = 6

Let the last term be ‘l’.
Now,
Sum of n terms = n/2 (a + an)
Therefore,
Sum of six terms:
S6 = 6/2 ((−5) + l) = 120
3((− 5) + l) = 120
−5 + l = 40
l = 40 + 5
l = 45
The last term of the AP is 45.
Let the common difference be ‘d’.

Again, nth term of an AP is given by:
an = a + (n – 1)d
so, 45 = (− 5) + (6 − 1)d
45 + 5 = 5d
50 = 5d
10 = d
Therefore, the common difference is 10.
a = 2; d = 3 Answer2 Given:
Third term = 14
Sixth term = 26
Let the first term be ‘a’ and the common difference be

‘d’.
an = a + (n – 1)d
Therefore,
14 = a + (3 − 1)d = a + 2d, or, a = 14 – 2d … (1)
26 = a + (6 – 1)d = a + 5d …(2)
Putting the value of a = 14 – 2d in equation (2):

26 = 14 – 2d + 5d
26 = 14 + 3d
26 – 14 = 3d
12 = 3d
4=d
Putting the value of ‘d’ in equation (1):

a = 14 – 2(4) = 6
Therefore, the first term is 6 and the common
difference is 4.
56 Answer1 Given:
First term (a) = −12
Common difference (d) = −10 − (−12) = −10 + 12 = 2
Last term (l) = 48
Therefore,
l = a + (n − 1)d
48 = −12 + (n − 1)2
48 = −12 + 2n − 2
48 = − 14 + 2n
2n = 48 + 14
2n = 62
n = 62/2
n = 31
Fifth term from the end means (31 − 4)th term.
Thus,
a27 = −12 + (27 − 1)2
= −12 + 52
= 40
Therefore, fifth term from the end is 40.
300 Answer2 Given: Total number of terms, n = 11
The middle most term = (n + 1)/2 = (11 + 1)/2 = 6th term
Let the first term of the AP be 'a' and the common

difference be 'd'.
The nth term of an AP is given by:

an = a + (n – 1)d
So, the sixth term can be written as
a6 = a + (6 – 1)d = 30
a + 5d = 30
If the last term be ‘l’, then ‘l’ can be written as

l = a + (11 – 1)d = a + 10d
Now, sum of n terms, Sn = n/2 ((a) + l)

So, the sum of all 11 terms is:
S11 = n/2 (a + l)
S11 = 11/2 (a + (a + 10d))
S11 = 11/2 (2a +10d)
S11 = 11(a + 5d)
S11 = 11(30) = 330
Therefore, sum of 11 terms is 330.
Rs. 9,100 Answer3 Given:
Money deposited in the first year is Rs. 500, so, first
term (a) = 500
Each year he deposits Rs. 50 more than the previous

year, so, common difference (d) = 50

an = a + (n – 1)d
So, the money deposited in the last year, that is, in the
seventh year, is given by:
a7 = 500 + (7 – 1)(50)
a7 = 500 + 6(50) = 800
Now, the sum of n terms of an AP, Sn = n/2 ((a) + l) [‘l’

represents the last term]
So,
S7 = 7/2 (500 + 800)
S7 = 7/2 (1300)
S7 = 4550
Therefore, total money deposited is Rs. 4,550.
−13, 8, 3 Answer2 Given:
5th term + 10th term = 39
6th term + 12th term = 54
Let ‘a’ be the first term and ‘d’ be the common

difference.

an = a + (n – 1)d
Therefore,
a5 = a + (5 − 1)d = a + 4d
a10 = a + (10 − 1)d = a + 9d
a5 + a10 = (a + 4d) + (a + 9d) = 2a + 13d = 39…..(1)
Similarly,
a6 = a + (6 − 1) d = a + 5d
a12 = a + (12 − 1)d = a +11d
a6 + a12 = (a + 5d) + (a + 11d) = 2a + 16d = 54…..(2)
Subtracting (1) from (2), we get

3d = 15
d=5
Putting d = 5 in equation (1), we get

2a + 13(5) = 39
2a = 39 – 65 = −26
a = −13
Hence, the first three terms are:

−13, (−13 + 5), (−13 + 2(5)), i.e.,
−13, −8, −3.
4,500 Answer2 The integers which are multiples of 3 as well as 5 must
be multiples of 15.
The integers between 1 and 300 (including 300) which

are multiples of 15 are 15, 30, 45,…, 300.
Thus, the first term of the AP,

a = 15.
The last term of the AP,

l = 300.
Total number of terms, n = 300/15 = 20
The sum of these integers (Sn)= n/2 (a + l)

= 20/2 (15 + 300)
= 3150
Therefore, the sum of the integers between 1 and 300

(including 300) which are multiples of 3 as well as 5 is
3,150.
500 m Answer1 Given:

The distance of the first obstacle from the starting
point is 10 m, therefore, first term (a) = 10
The distance between two consecutive obstacles is 15

m, therefore, common difference (d) = 15 m
The distances (in meters) of the first, second, third, …

obstacle from the starting point are:
10, (10 + 15), (10 + 2(15)), (10 + 3(15)), …, (10 + 9(15)),
i.e., 10, 25, 40, 55, …, 145.
The distances (in meters) to run by the runner in

touching the first, second, … obstacles are:
2 × 10, 2 × 25, 2 × 40, …, 2 × 145, i.e., 20, 40, 80, …, 290.
The sum of the distances is:

Sn = n/2(a + l)
= 10/2 (20 + 290)
= 1550 m
The runner has to run a total distance of 1,550 m.

10 Answer3 Given:
First term, a = 23
Common difference, d = 69 – 46 = 23

an = a + (n – 1)d
So,
207 = 23 + (n – 1)(23)
207 = 23 + 23n – 23
207 = 23n
n=9
Therefore, 207 is the 9th term of given AP.
13, 16 Answer2 Given:

First term, a = 5
Common difference, d = 8 – 5 = 3
Last term, l = 32

an = a + (n – 1)d
Therefore,
32 = 5 + (n – 1)(3)
32 – 5 = 3n – 3
27 = 3n – 3
30 = 3n
10 = n
For an AP having even number of terms, there will be

two middle terms: (n/2)th term and ((n/2)+1)th term.
For n = 10
The middle terms are: 5th term and 6th term.
The fifth term is:

a5 = a + (n – 1)d
= 5 + (5 – 1)(3)
= 17
The sixth term is:

a6 = a + (n – 1)d
= 5 + (6 – 1)(3)
= 20
Therefore, the values of middle most terms are: 17 and
20.
20 Answer3 Given,
20th term (t20) = 60
Therefore,
t20 = a + (n − 1)d
60 = a + (20 − 1)4
60 = a + (19)4
60 = a + 76
a = 60 − 76
a = −16
Therefore, first term of the AP is −16.
an AP Answer3 For a finite AP, the last term must be known. Of the
having given options, option (c) is finite as it has a finite range
multiples of from 1 to 100, i.e., AP: 2, 4, 6, …, 100.
10
54 Answer2 Given: first term (a) = 28,

Common difference (d) = −4,
Number of terms (n) = 7,
For an AP, nth term can be calculated by the following

formula:
an = a + (n − 1)d
= 28 + (7 − 1)(−4)
= 28 + 6(−4)
= 28 − 24
an = 4
Therefore, the value of an = 4.
−77 Answer4 Given, AP = 10, 7, 4, …

First term, a = 10
Common difference, d = t2 − t1 = 7 − 10 = −3
As we know, for an AP, nth term can be calculated by

the following formula:
an = a + (n − 1)d
By substituting the values, we get:

a30 = 10 + (30 − 1)(−3)
a30 = 10 + (29)(−3)
a30 = 10 − 87 = −77
Therefore, the 30th term of the given AP is −77.
18 and 9 Answer1 Given: Second term (a2) = 13 and Fourth term (a4 ) = 3
As we know the nth term of an AP is:
an = a + (n − 1)d
Thus,
a2 = a + (2 − 1)d
13 = a + d ….....……. (i)
a4 = a + (4 − 1)d
3 = a + 3d ………….. (ii)
By subtracting equation (i) from (ii), we get,

−10 = 2d
d = −5
Now put the value of d in equation (i):
13 = a + (−5)
a = 18 (first term)
Now,
a3 = a + (n – 1)d
= 18 + (3 − 1)(−5)
= 18 + 2(−5)
= 18 − 10
= 8 (third term)
Therefore, the AP is: 18, 13, 8, 3, ....
None of Answer1 If a constant is added to each term of an AP the

these resulting sequence is also an arithmetic progression.
17 and 19 Answer2 Given: First term a = −11 and nth term (an) = 49
Now, common difference (d) = −7 − (−11) = 4
As we know that, nth term of an AP can be calculated

as:
an = a + (n − 1)d
49 = −11 + (n − 1)4
60 = (n − 1)4
n = 16
As n is an even number, so there will be two middle

terms which are 16/2th and [(16/2)+1]th, i.e. the 8th
term and the 9th term.
a8 = a + 7d = −11 + (7 × 4) = 17
a9 = a + 8d = −11 + (8 × 4) = 21
Therefore, the middle most terms are: 17 and 21.
9 Answer2 The nth term of an AP can be calculated by the

following formula:
an = a + (n – 1)d
The 4th term of the first series is:

a4 = a1 + 3d
The 4th term of another series is:
a'4 = a'1 + 3d
Now,
As, a1 = –1, a'1 = –8
Therefore,
a4 – a'4 = (–1 + 3d) – (–8 + 3d)
a4 – a'4 = 7
Therefore, the difference between the 4th terms of both
the series is 7.
–4 Answer3 Given: AP = n – 3, 3n – 2, 4n + 3, …..
Let the first term (a) = n – 3
Second term (b) = 3n – 2
Third term (c) = 4n + 3
If a, b, c are in AP, then the average of a and c is equal
to b.
Thus,
b = (a + c)/2
2b = a + c
Substituting the values, we get:
2(3n – 2) = (n – 3) + (4n + 3)
6n – 4 = 5n
n=4
–199/12 Answer4 The 7th term of AP is a + 6d = –39/12

The 15th term is AP is a + 14d = –103/12
Equating these terms with their values and solving as
simultaneous equations, we get:
a = 3/4 and d = – 2/3
Thus, the 27th term of AP is a + 26d.

Now, by substituting the values, we get:
a27 = a + 26d
= 3/4 + 26(–2/3)
= 3/4 – 52/3
= –199/12
–13 Answer1 7th term of the AP = (a + 6d)

10th term of the AP = (a + 9d)
Given, the ratio of these terms is –1.

Solving this ratio, we get:
(a + 6d) / (a + 9d) = –1
–2a = 15d
The 16th term (a + 15d) = –15

Substituting the value for a, we get:
a = 15 and d = –2
Therefore, 3rd term (a + 2d) = 11.

1050 Answer2 An AP can be expressed as a, (a + d), ---, (a + 20d).
Total number of terms = 21
The middle term of the series = (21 + 1)th/2 = 11th
Therefore, 10th, 11th, and 12th are the middle three
terms.
The sum of the first 3 terms is (3a + 3d) = –33

The sum of the middle 3 terms is (3a + 30d) = 75
Solving these two equations, we get:

a = –15 and d = 4
The sum of an AP of n terms can be calculated by the

following formula:
Sn = n/2 (2a + (n – 1)d)
Thus, the sum of the 1st 21 terms (S21) is = (21/2) (2 × –

15 + 20 × 4) = 525.
4 Answer2 Given, number of terms in the AP (n) = 15 (Odd

number)
Since the number of terms is odd, so AP can be

expressed as,
(a – 7d), (a – 6d), ---, a, ---, (a + 6d), (a + 7d)
The sum of the first 3 terms is given by:

(3a – 18d) = –60
The sum of the last 3 terms is given by:

(3a + 18d) = 84
Solving these two equations, we get:

First term (a) = 4 and Common difference (d) = 4
The middle term of AP is a = 4.

The middle three terms are (a − d), a and (a + d)
The sum of the middle 3 terms is 0 + 4 + 8 = 12.

15, 20, 25 Answer1 Let the numbers in AP are:
(a – d), a, (a + d)
Since, the sum of these number = 72. So,
3a = 72
a = 24
The middle number a = 24
Given, the product of these three numbers is 11880.

Thus, (a – d) × a × (a + d) = 11880
Substituting the value of a, we get:

(a – d) × (a + d) = 495
So, common difference (d) = 9
Therefore, the numbers are 15, 24 and 33.
389 Answer2 Given, The AP is −26, −24, −22, ... up to 36th term.
Here,
first term (a) = −26,
As we kn ow that: Sn= n/2 [2a + (n−1)d]

Therefore, the sum of first 36 terms of the given AP is:
S36= 36/2 [2(−26) + (36 − 1) × 2]
S36 = 18[−52 + 70]
S36 = 18 × 18
S36 = 324
1/2 Answer1 For the first arithmetic progression {AP1},
Third term (A3) = a + 2D1 = b
Thus, Common difference (D1) = [b – a]/2
For the second arithmetic progression {AP2},

Fifth term (A5) = a + 4D2 = b
Thus, Common difference (D2) = [b – a]/4
Now, the value of An + 1 will be calculated by the

formula as:
an = a + (n – 1)d
Substituting the values, we get:

An + 1 = a + (n + 1 – 1) × [b – a]/2
Similarly, the value of a2n + 1 will be:

a2n + 1 = a + (2n + 1 – 1) × [b – a]/4
Taking the ratio of these two, we get:

(An + 1)/a2n + 1 = [a + (n + 1 – 1) × [b – a]/2]/[a + (2n + 1 – 1) ×
[b – a]/4]
(An + 1)/a2n + 1 = [a + (nb – na)/2]/[a + (nb – na)/2]
(An + 1)/a2n + 1 = 1
Therefore, the their ratio is 1.
21, 31, 41, Answer3 In option 1, the given series is: 2, 6, 10, 14, ...
51, ... Here the difference of any two consecutive numbers
is 4. Hence this is an AP.
In option 2, the given series is: 15, 12, 9, 6, ...

Here the difference of any two consecutive numbers
is −3. Hence this is an AP.

Here the difference of any two consecutive numbers is
not a constant, as (9 − 5 = 4, 12 − 9 = 3, 18 − 12 = 6).
Hence this is not an AP.
Here the difference of any two consecutive numbers is
10. Hence this is also an AP.
Therefore, the series 5, 9, 12, 18, ... is not an AP.
