Question 48. If the 7th and 13th terms of an AP are 34 and 64, then its 18th term is ___.
  1.    87
  2.    88
  3.    89
  4.    90
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 89
:
C
The nth term of an AP of first term a and common difference d is
an=a+(n1)d.a7=a+6d=34(1)a13=a+12d=64(2)(2)(1)6d=30d=5Substituting d = 5 in (1), we geta=4.a18=a+17d=4+(17)5=89
Question 49. If the sum of the first 14 terms of an AP is 1050 and its first term is 10, find the 20th term.
__
 Discuss Question

:
Here, S14= 1050, n = 14, a = 10.
As Sn= (n2) [2a + (n-1) d]
So,
1050=(142) [20 + 13d]
1050=140+91d
910=91d
d=10
Therefore, a20=10+(201)×10=200
i.e. 20th term is 200.
Question 50.  The sum of r terms of an AP is 2r2+3r. The nth​ term is ___.
  1.    2n−1
  2.    4n+1
  3.    3n−1
  4.    3n+1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 4n+1
:
B
Given, Sr=(2r2+3r), the sum upto r terms of an AP.
We know that the nth term of AP is
Tn=SnSn1.
Sn=2n2+3n and
Sn1=2(n1)2+3(n1).
Tn=SnSn1
=2n2+3n[2(n22n+1)+3n3]
=2n2+3n2n2+4n23n+3=4n+1
