ILLUSTRATIVE E EXAMPLES FOR MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS

Choosethe. correct answer from the given four options in examples (1 to 10):
Fvample 1. fthe sumof nterms of asequence is given by S, =3n2-2n, Vne N,then its 10th term is
(a) 55 (b) 60 (c) 65 (d) 59

Solution. Given S,, = 3n2 2n

Sin=3x 102- 2 x 10 =300 - 20= 280,
So =3 x 922 x9 = 243 - 18 = 225.
a10= S1o-SÍ = 280- 225=55.
:. The correct option is (a).

log1o 2, log1o (2* 1) and log1o (2*+3) are in A.P, then the value of xis
