Question 71. The number which should be added to the number added to the numbers 2, 14, 62 so that the resulting numbers may be in G.P. is
  1.    1
  2.    2
  3.    3
  4.    4

Answer: Option B. -> 2
:
B
Suppose that the added number be x
then x + 2, x + 14, x + 62 be in G.P.
Therefore (x+14)2 = (x + 2)(x + 62)
x2+196+28x = x2+64x+124
36x = 72 x = 2
Trick : (a) Let 1 is added, then the numbers will be 3, 15, 63 which are obviously not in G.P.
(b) Let 2 is added, then the numbers will be 4, 16, 64 which are obviously in G.P.
Question 72. If the tth term of an AP is s and sth term of the same AP is t, then an is ___.
  1.    t+s+n
  2.    t+s−n
  3.    t−s+n
  4.    t−s−n

Answer: Option B. -> t+s−n
:
B
Given,
at=a+(t1)d=s,...(i)
as=a+(s1)d=t...(ii)
(ts)=a+(s1)da(t1)d
ts=(st)d[from eqns. (i) and (ii)]
(ts)=(ts)d
d=1
From (i), we get
a+(t1)(1)=s.
a=s+t1
an=a+(n1)d
an=s+t1+(n1)×(1)=s+t1n+1=s+tn
Question 73. If 8 times the 8th term of an AP is equal to 15 times the 15th term of the AP, then the 23rd term of the AP is ___.
  1.    144
  2.    1
  3.    0
  4.    8
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 0
:
C
Given,
8a8=15a15.
Since the nth term of an AP of first term a and common difference d is given by
an=a+(n1)d, we have
8[a+(81)d]=15[a+(151)d].8(a+7d)=15(a+14d)8a+56d=15a+210d7a+154d=0a+22d=0a+(231)d=0
Hence, the 23rd term of the AP is zero.
Question 74. If the 5th term of a G.P. containing positive terms is 13 and 9th term is 16243, then the 4th term will be
  1.    34
  2.    12
  3.    13
  4.    25
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 12
:
B
T5 = ar4 = 13 .......(i)
and T9 = ar8 = 16243 .......(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii), we get r = 23 and a = 2716
Now 4th term = ar3 = 3324.2333= 12
Question 75. If a, b, c are pthqth, and rth terms of a G.P., then (cb)p(ba)r(ac)q is equal to
  1.    1
  2.    apbqcr
  3.    aqbrcp
  4.    arbpcq
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 1
:
A
a = ARp1, b = ARq1, c = ARr1
(cb)p(ba)r(ac)q = (ARp1ARq1)p(ARq1ARp1)r(ARp1ARr1)q
= R(rq)p+(qp)r+(pr)q = R0 = 1
