What is an Arithmetic Progression (AP)?

An arithmetic progression (AP) is a list (or pattern or series) of numbers in which each next term is obtained by adding or subtracting a fixed number to the preceding term except the first term. This fixed number is called the common difference of the AP, it may be positive, negative or zero.

What are the objective of studying Arithmetic Progression?

Objective of studying Arithmetic Progression – AP
To identify arithmetic progression from a given list of numbers, to determine the general term of an arithmetic progression and to find the sum of first n terms of an arithmetic progression.

About Arithmetic Progression – AP

a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d, . . . is called the general form of an AP, where a is the first term and d the common difference. If there are a finite number of terms in the AP, then it is called a finite AP.
The general formula for finding nth term is given by a + (n-1)d and the sum of n terms is given by n/2[2a + (n-1)d]. The last term is denoted by l and given by a + (n-1)d.

Historical Facts!

Leonardo Pisano Bigollo also known as Leonardo of Pisano, Leonardo Bonacci, Leonardo Fibonacci was an Italian mathematician. He gave Fibonacci series on the basis of, how fast rabbits could breed in ideal circumstances. Fibonacci Series: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55 … Here, every next term is sum of previous two terms.

Once, when famous mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777 – 1855) misbehaved in primary school, his teacher I.G. Buttner gave him a task to add a list of integers from 1 to 100. Gauss’s method was to realise that pairwise addition of terms from opposite ends of the list yielded identical intermediate sum: 1 + 100 = 2 + 99 = 3 + 98 = … = 50 + 51 = 101. So, here 1 + 2+ 3 + 4 + …. + 100 = the sum of 50 sums each equal to 101. Therefore, the sum is 5050. Finally he gave the answer in seconds.

Important Questions on Class 10 Maths Chapter 5

A.P.: 121,117,113,…, का कौन-सा सबसे पहला ऋणात्मक पद होगा?

यहाँ, a = 121 तथा d = 117-121 = -4 है,
माना, A.P. का nवाँ पद पहला ऋणात्मक पद है।
〖⇒a〗_n < 0 ⇒ a + (n - 1)d < 0 ⇒ 121 + (n - 1)(-4) < 0 ⇒ 121 - 4n + 4 < 0 ⇒ 125 < 4n ⇒ n > 125/4
⇒ n > 31.25
⇒ n = 32
अतः, इस A.P. का 32वाँ पद सबसे पहला ऋणात्मक पद होगा।

The first term of an AP is 5, the last term is 45 and the sum is 400. Find the number of terms and the common difference.

Here, a = 5,a_n = 45 and S_n = 400.
The sum of n terms of an AP is given by
S_n = n/2 [a + a_n]
⇒ 400 = n/2 [5 + 45]
⇒ 400 = 25n
⇒ n = 400/25 = 16
a_n = a + (n – 1)d
⇒ 45 = 5 + (16 – 1)d
⇒ 40 = 15d
⇒ d = 40/15 = 8/3
Hence, the number of terms are 16 and the common difference is 8/3.

A.P.: 3,8,13,18,… का कौन सा पद 78 है?

यहाँ, a = 3 तथा d = 8 – 3 = 5 है,
माना, A.P. का nवाँ पद 78 है।
इसलिए a_n = 78
⇒ a + (n – 1)d = 78
⇒ 3 + (n – 1)(5) = 78
⇒ (n – 1)(5) = 75
⇒ n – 1 = 15
⇒ n = 16
अतः, A.P.: 3,8,13,18,… का 16वाँ पद 78 है।

निम्नलिखित समांतर श्रेढ़ी में कितने पद हैं? 7,13,19,…,205.

यहाँ, a = 7 तथा d = 13 – 7 = 6 है,
माना, समांतर श्रेढ़ी में n पद हैं।
इसलिए a_n = 205
⇒ a + (n – 1)d = 205
⇒ 7 + (n – 1)(6) = 205
⇒ (n – 1)(6) = 198
⇒ n – 1 = 33
⇒ n = 34
अतः, समांतर श्रेढ़ी में 34 पद हैं।

Write first four terms of the AP, when the first term a and the common difference d are given as follows: a = 10, d = 10.

a = 10, d = 10
First term a_1 = a = 10
Second term a_2 = a_1 + d = 10 + 10 = 20
Third term a_3 = a_2 + d = 20 + 10 = 30
Fourth term a_4 = a_3 + d = 30 + 10 = 40

For the following AP, write the first term and the common difference: 3,1,-1,-3,…

First term a = 3
Common difference d= a_2 – a_1 = 1 – 3 = – 2

उस A.P का 31वाँ पद ज्ञात कीजिए, जिसका 11वाँ पद 38 है और 16वाँ पद 73 है।

यहाँ, दिया है a_11 = 38 तथा a_16 = 73 है, ज्ञात करना है: a_31
दिया है: a_11= a + (11 – 1)d = 38
⇒ a + 10d = 38
⇒ a = 38 – 10d … (1)
तथा a_16 = 73
⇒ a + 15d = 73
समीकरण (1) से a का मान रखने पर
38 – 10d + 15d = 73
⇒ 5d = 35
⇒ d = 7
समीकरण (1) में d का मान रखने पर
a = 38 – 10(7) = -32
इसलिए, a_31 = a + 30d = -32 + 30(7) = 178
अतः, A.P का 31वाँ पद 178 है।

यदि किसी A.P. के तीसरे और नौवें पद क्रमशः 4 और -8 हैं, तो इसका कौन-सा पद शून्य होगा?

यहाँ, दिया है a_3 = 4 तथा a_9 = -8 है,
ज्ञात करना है: n, जहाँ a_n = 0.
दिया है: a_3 = a + (3 – 1)d = 4
⇒ a + 2d = 4
⇒ a = 4 – 2d … (1)
तथा a_9 = -8
⇒a + 8d = -8
समीकरण (1) से a का मान रखने पर
4 – 2d + 8d = -8
⇒ 6d = -12
⇒d = -2
समीकरण (1) में d का मान रखने पर
a = 4 – 2(-2) = 8
इसलिए, a_n = 0 में मान रखने पर
a_n = a + (n – 1) d = 0
⇒ 8 + (n – 1)(-2) = 0
⇒ n – 1 = 4
⇒ n = 5
अतः, इस A.P का 5वाँ पद शून्य होगा।

किसी A.P. का 17वाँ पद उसके 10वें पद से 7 अधिक है। इसका सार्व अंतर ज्ञात कीजिए।

माना, पहला पद = a तथा सार्व अंतर = d
प्रश्नानुसार, a_17 = a_10 + 7
⇒ a + 16d = a + 9d + 7
⇒ 7d = 7
⇒ d = 1
अतः, इस A.P का सार्व अंतर 1 है।

वह A.P. ज्ञात कीजिए जिसका तीसरा पद 16 है और 7वाँ पद 5वें पद से 12 अधिक है।

माना, समांतर श्रेणी का पहला पद = a तथा सार्व अंतर = d
तीसरा पद = 16
⇒ a_3 = 16
⇒ a + 2d = 16 … (1)
7वाँ पद 5वें पद से 12 अधिक है। इसलिए, a_7 = a_5 + 12
⇒ a + 6d = a + 4d + 12
⇒ 2d = 12
⇒ d = 6
समीकरण (1) में d का मान रखने पर, a + 2(6) = 16
⇒ a = 4
अतः, A.P. = a, a+d, a+2d,… = 4, 10, 16,…

सुब्बा राव ने 1995 में ₹5000 के मासिक वेतन पर कार्य आरंभ किया और प्रत्येक वर्ष ₹200 की वेतन वृद्धि प्राप्त की। किस वर्ष में उनका वेतन ₹7000 हो गया?

आरंभिक मासिक वेतन = a = ₹5000
प्रत्येक वर्ष वेतन वृद्धि (सार्व अंतर) = d = ₹200
माना, n वर्ष में उनका वेतन ₹7000 हो गया।
इसलिए, a_n = 7000
⇒ a + (n – 1)d = 7000
⇒ 5000 + (n – 1)(200) = 7000
⇒ (n – 1)(200) = 2000
⇒ n – 1 = 10
⇒ n = 11
अतः, 11वें वर्ष में उनका वेतन ₹7000 हो गया।
