Explanation

Given sum of n terms is,

${ S }_{ n }=3{ n }^{ 2 }+5n$

Put n=1, we get,

${ S }_{ 1 }=a_{ 1 }=3{ \left( 1 \right) }^{ 2 }+5\left( 1 \right)$

$\therefore a_{ 1 }=3+5$

$\therefore a_{ 1 }=8$

Put n=2 in above equation, we get,

${ S }_{ 2 }={ a }_{ 1 }+{ a }_{ 2 }=3{ \left( 2 \right) }^{ 2 }+5\left( 2 \right)$

$\therefore 8+{ a }_{ 2 }=\left( 3\times 4 \right) +10$

$\therefore 8+{ a }_{ 2 }=22$

$\therefore { a }_{ 2 }=14$

$d=14-8$

$\therefore d=6$

Now, Given

${ a }_{ n }=164$

${ a }_{ n }={ a }_{ 1 }+\left( n-1 \right) d$

$\therefore 164=8+\left( n-1 \right) 6$

$\therefore 156=6\left( n-1 \right)$

$\therefore n-1=26$

$\therefore n=27$

In an AP, the correct relation is

0%
$a_{n - 5} = a_{n - 4} + d$
0%
$a_{n - 5} = a_{n - 6} + d$
0%
$a_{n - 5} = a_{n} + d$
0%
$a_{n + 5} = a_{n - 5} - d$

Explanation

We know that, in an A.P., the common difference

$(d)$ is the difference between any two consecutive terms.

If we take one of the terms as

$a_{n-6}$ , we will need either

$a_{n-7}$ or

$a_{n-5}$ for finding the common difference.

If we take

$a_{n-6}$ and

$a_{n-5}$ , then,

$d={ a }_{ n-5 }-{ a }_{ n-6 }$

$\therefore \ { a }_{ n-5 }={ a }_{ n-6 }+d$

Hence, option B is correct.

Set of even numbers form a progression.

In an A.P

$a_{n + 5} = 50$ and

$a_{n + 1} = 38$ then common difference

0%
$3$
0%
$2$
0%
$3n$
0%
$2n$

Explanation

nth term of A.P. is given by,

${ a }_{ n }=a+\left( n-1 \right) d$ (1)

1) Put

$n=n+5$ in (1), we get,

${ a }_{ n+5 }=a+\left( n+5-1 \right) d$

$\therefore 50=a+\left( n+4 \right) d$

$\therefore \dfrac { 50-a }{ d } =n+4$

$\therefore n=\dfrac { 50-a }{ d } -4$ (2)

2) Put

$n=n+1$ in (1), we get,

${ a }_{ n+1 }=a+\left( n+1-1 \right) d$

$\therefore 38=a+nd$

$\therefore n=\dfrac { 38-a }{ d }$ (3)

From (2) and (3), we get,

$\dfrac { 50-a }{ d } -4=\dfrac { 38-a }{ d }$

$\dfrac { 50-a }{ d } -\dfrac { 38-a }{ d } =4$

$\therefore \dfrac { 50-a-\left( 38-a \right) }{ d } =4$

$\therefore \dfrac { 50-a-38+a }{ d } =4$

$\therefore \dfrac { 50-38 }{ d } =4$

$\therefore \dfrac { 12 }{ d } =4$

$\therefore d=3$

How many terms of the AP 6, 12, 18, 24,.... must be take to make the sum 816?

0%
16
0%
18
0%
14
0%
22

Explanation

Given,

${ a }_{ 1 }=6$

$d=12-6=6$

Since

$S_n =816$

Sum of n terms of A.P. is given as,

$S_n =\dfrac { n }{ 2 } \left[ 2a+\left( n-1 \right) d \right]$

$\therefore 816=\dfrac { n }{ 2 } \left[ \left( 2\times 6 \right) +\left( n-1 \right) 6 \right]$

$\therefore 1632=n\left[ 12+6n-6 \right]$

$\therefore 1632=n\left[ 6n+6 \right]$

$\therefore 1632=6{ n }^{ 2 }+6n$

$\therefore 6{ n }^{ 2 }+6n-1632=0$

Divide both sides by 6, we get,

${ n }^{ 2 }+n-272=0$

$\therefore n=\dfrac { -1\pm \sqrt { { \left( 1 \right) }^{ 2 }-4\times 1\times \left( -272 \right) } }{ 2\times 1 }$

$\therefore n=\dfrac { -1\pm \sqrt { 1+1088 } }{ 2 }$

$\therefore n=\dfrac { -1\pm \sqrt { 1089 } }{ 2 }$

$\therefore n=\dfrac { -1\pm 33 }{ 2 }$

Consider only positive root.

$\therefore n=\dfrac { -1+33 }{ 2 }$

$\therefore n=\dfrac { 32 }{ 2 }$

$\therefore n=16$

In an arithmetic progression

$a_{n + 5} = 35 \,\&\, a_{n + 1} = 23$ then common difference is

0%
$3n$
0%
$4n$
0%
$2$
0%
$3$
