SEQUENCES AND SERIES MCQs
:
A
p,q,r are positive and are in A.P.
∴ q = p+r2 .........(i)
∵ The roots of p x2 + qx + r = 0 are real
⇒q2 ≥ 4pr ⇒ [p+r2]2 ≥ 4pr [using (i)]
⇒p2 + r2 - 14pr ≥ 0
⇒ (rp)2 - 14 (rp) + 1 ≥ 0 ( ∵ p>0 and p ≠ 0)
(rp−7)2 - (4√3)2 ≥ 0
⇒| rp - 7| ≥ 4 √3.

B
We know that A > G > H
Where A is arithmetic mean, G is geometric mean and H is harmonic mean, then A > G
⇒a+b2>√ab or (a + b) > 2√ab

Tπ = n2(n + 1) = n3 + n2
Sπ = ∑Tπ = ∑n3 + ∑n2 = [n(n+1)2]2 + n(n+1)(2n+1)6
= n(n+1)2[n(n+1)2 + 2n+13] = n(n+1)(3n2+7n+2)12

Given that a+ar+ar2a+ar+ar2+ar3+ar4+ar5=125152.
⇒1+r+r21+r+r2+r3+r4+r5=125152 i.e., 1+r+r2(1+r+r2)+r3(1+r+r2)=125152 ⇒11+r3=125152 ⇒r3=152125−1 =27125 ⇒r=35

A
The given condition can be expressed as
Tn = Tn+1+Tn+2, where n≥1.
If a is the first term and r is the common ratio, then by the condition is
arn−1=arn+arn+1.⇒rn−1=rn(1+r)
⇒r2+r−1=0
⇒r=−1±√1+42=−1±√52
Since each term is positive, the common ratio of the GP is √5−12.

A
Tπ = n2 + n ⇒ Sπ = ∑Tπ = ∑ n2 + ∑n
= n(n+1)(2n+1)6 + n(n+1)2
= n(n+1)6 {2n + 1 + 3} = n(n+1)(n+2)3

B
Let four numbers are a−3d, a−d, a+d, a+3d.
Now (a−3d)+(a+3d)=8⇒a=4 and (a−d)(a+d)=15⇒a2−d2=15⇒d=1 Thus required numbers are 1,3,5,7. Hence greatest number is 7.

A
Let a1x=b1y=c1z=k.
⇒a=kx,b=ky,c=kz.
Since a,b,c are in G.P., b2=ac.
∴k2y=kx.kz=kx+z
∴2y=x+z
⇒x,y,z are in A.P.
:
A
If a and d be the first term and common difference of the A.P.
Then Tp = a + (p - 1)d, Tq = a + (q - 1)d and
Tr = a+(r - 1)d.
If Tp,Tq,Tr are in G.P.
Then its common ratio R = TqTp = TrTq = Tq−TrTp−Tq
= [a+(q−1)d]−[a+(r−1)d][a+(p−1)d]−[a+(q−1)d] = q−rp−q
Similarly, we can show that R =q−rp−q = r−sq−r
Hence (p - q), (q - r),(r - s) be in G.P.

Given, S7S11=611 and 130<t7<140
⇒72[2a+6d]112[2a+10d]=611
⇒7(2a+6d)(2a+10d)=6
⇒a=9d……(i)
Also, 130<t7<140
⇒130<a+6d<140
⇒130<9d+6d<140 [from Eq. (i)]
⇒130<15d<140
⇒263<d<283
∴ d=9 [since, d is a natural number]
