Following are APs or not? If they form an A.P. find the common difference d and write three more terms:
0, -4, -8, -12, …
उत्तर
0, −4, −8, −12 …
It can be observed that
a2 − a1 = (−4) − 0 = −4
a3 − a2 = (−8) − (−4) = −4
a4 − a3 = (−12) − (−8) = −4
i.e., ak+1 − ak is same every time. Therefore, d = −4
The given numbers are in A.P.
Three more terms are
a5 = − 12 − 4 = −16
a6 = − 16 − 4 = −20
a7 = − 20 − 4 = −24

First term and common difference of an A.P. are 1 and 2 respectively; find S10.
Given: a = 1, d = 2
find S10 = ?
Sn = `n/2 [2a + (n - 1) square]`
S10 = `10/2 [2 xx 1 + (10 - 1)square]`
= `10/2[2 + 9 xx square]`
= `10/2 [2 + square]`
= `10/2 xx square = square`
