Question 21. The sum of (n+1) terms of 11+11+2+11+2+3+.......... is 
  1.    nn+1
  2.    2nn+1
  3.    2n(n+1)
  4.    2(n+1)n+2

Answer: Option D. -> 2(n+1)n+2
:
D
Tn=1[n(n+1)2]=2[1n1n+1]
put n=1,2,3,.........,(n+1)
T1=2[1112],T2=2[1213],...........,
Tn+1=2[1n+11n+2]
Hence sum of (n+1) terms = n+1k=1Tk
Sn+1=2[11n+2] Sn+1=2(n+1)n+2
Question 22. The 4 term of a H.P is 35 and 8th term is 13, then its 6th term is 
  1.    16
  2.    37
  3.    17
  4.    35
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 37
:
B
a + 3d = 53 and a + 7d = 3
Solving a = 23, d = 13
6th term of A.P = a + 5d = 23+53 = 73
6th term of H.P. = 37.
Question 23. If a,b,c be in A.P. and b,c,d be in H.P., then
  1.    ab = cd
  2.    ad = bc
  3.    bc = ad
  4.    abcd = 1
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> bc = ad
:
C
Given that a,b,c in A.P. and b,c,d in H.P.
So, 2b = a + c and c = 2bdb+d
c(b + d) = 2bd = (a + c)d bc = ad.
Question 24. If the sum of the n terms of G.P. is S product is P and sum of their inverse is R, than  P2 is equal to
  1.    RS
  2.    SR
  3.    (RS)n
  4.    (SR)n
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> (SR)n
:
D
S=a(1rn)1rP=anrn(n1)2R=1a+1ar+1ar2++1arn1=1a(11rn)11r=1arn1(rn1r1)p2=a2nrn(n1)(SR)=a2nrn(n1)
Question 25. Let S1, S2,....... be squares such that for each n≥1, the length
of a side of Sn equals the length of a diagonal of Sn+1. If the 
length of a  side of S1 is 10 cm, then for which of the following 
values of n is the area of Sn greater then 1sq cm
  1.    7
  2.    8
  3.    9
  4.    10
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 7
:
A
(b, c, d) Given xn = xn+1 2
x1 =x22,x2 =x32,xn =xn+12
On multiplyingx1 =xn+1 (2)nxn+1 = x1(2)n
Hencexn = x1(2)n1
Area ofSn = x2n = x2n2n1 < 1 ⇒ 2n1 >x21 (x1 = 10)
2n1 > 100
But27 > 100,28>100, etc.
∴ n - 1 = 7, 8, 9....... ⇒ n = 8, 9, 10.........
Question 26. The sum of 1 +  25352453 + .............upto n terms is
  1.      2516 -   4n+516×5n−1
  2.      34 -   2n+516×5n+1
  3.      37 -   3n+516×5n−1
  4.      12 -   5n+13×5n+2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->   2516 -   4n+516×5n−1
:
A
Given series, let Sn = 1 + 25 + 352 + 453 + .............+ n5n1
15Sn = 15 + 252+ 353+ ..............+ n5n
Subtracting,
(1 - 15)Sn = 1 + 15 + 152+ 153+ ............+ upto n terms - n5n
45 Sn = 115n45 - n5nSn = 2516 - 4n+516×5n1
Question 27. A series in G.P. consists of an even number of terms. If the sum of all the terms is 5 times the sum of the terms occupying odd places, then the common ratio will be equal to
  1.    2
  2.    3
  3.    4
  4.    5
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 4
:
C
Let there be 2n terms in the given G.P. with first term a and the common ratio r.
Then, a r21(r1) = 5a (r21)(r21)⇒ r + 1 = 5⇒ r = 4
Question 28. If H is the harmonic mean between p and q, then the value of Hp+Hq is
  1.    2
  2.    pqp+q
  3.    p+qpq
  4.    None of these
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 2
:
A
As given H = 2pqp+q
Hp+Hq = 2qp+q+2pp+q = 2(p+q)p+q = 2
Question 29. Harikiran purchased a house in Rs. 15000 and paid Rs. 5000 at once. Rest money he promised to pay in annual instalment of Rs. 1000 with 10% per annum interest. How much money is to be paid by him
  1.    Rs. 21555 
  2.    Rs. 20475
  3.    Rs. 20500
  4.    Rs. 20700
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Rs. 20500
:
C
It will take 10 years for harikiranto pay off Rs. 10000 in 10 yearly
installments.
∵ He pays 10% annual interest on interest on remaining amount
∴ Money given in first year
= 1000 + 10000×10100 = Rs. 2000
Money given in second year = 1000 + interest of (10000 - 1000) with interest rate 10% per annum
= 1000 + 9000×10100 = Rs. 1900
Money paid in third year = Rs. 1800 etc.
So money given by Jairam in 10 years will be Rs. 2000, Rs.1900, Rs. 1800, Rs. 1700,......,
which is in arithmetic progression,
whose first term a = 2000 and d = -100
Total money given in 10 years = sum of 10 terms of arithmetic
progression
= 102[2(2000) + (10 - 1)(-100)] = Rs. 15500
Therefore, total money given by harikiran
= 5000 + 15500 = Rs. 20500.
Question 30. If the 7th term of a harmonic progression is 8 and the 8th term is 7, then its 15th term is
  1.    16
  2.    14
  3.    2714
  4.    5615
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 5615
:
D
Obviously, 7th term of corresponding A.P is 18 and 8th
term will be 17. a + 6d = 18 and a+7d = 17
Solving these, we get d = 156 and a = 156
Therefore 15th term of this A.P.
= 156+14×156 = 1556
Hence the required 15th term of the H.P. is 5615
