Find the sum of the following arithmetic series:
(-5)+(-8)+(-11)+...+(-230)
उत्तर
The given arithmetic series is (-5)+(-8)+(-11)+...+(-230)
Here , a = -5 , d = -8 -(-5) = -8 + 5= -3 and l = 230
Let the given series contain n terms. Then,
an = -230
⇒ -5 + (n-1) × (-3) = -230 [ an = a + (n-1) d]
⇒ - 3n - 2 = -230
⇒ -3n = -230 + 2 = -228
⇒ n = 76
`∴ "Required sum" = 76/2 xx [ ( -5) + (-230) ] [ s_n = n/2 (a+l)]`
`= 76/2 xx (-235) `
= - 8930

Find the sum of the following arithmetic series:
`7 + 10 1/2 + 14 + ....... + 84`

How many multiples of 4 lie between 10 and 205?
How many two-digit numbers are divisible by 5?
Activity :- Two-digit numbers divisible by 5 are, 10, 15, 20, ......, 95.
Here, d = 5, therefore this sequence is an A.P.
Here, a = 10, d = 5, tn = 95, n = ?
tn = a + (n − 1) `square`
`square` = 10 + (n – 1) × 5
`square` = (n – 1) × 5
`square` = (n – 1)
Therefore n = `square`
There are `square` two-digit numbers divisible by 5
Decide whether 301 is term of given sequence 5, 11, 17, 23, .....
Activity :- Here, d = `square`, therefore this sequence is an A.P.
a = 5, d = `square`
Let nth term of this A.P. be 301
tn = a + (n – 1) `square`
301 = 5 + (n – 1) × `square`
301 = 6n – 1
n = `302/6` = `square`
But n is not positive integer.
Therefore, 301 is `square` the term of sequence 5, 11, 17, 23, ......
