Following are APs or not? If they form an A.P. find the common difference d and write three more terms: 

a, 2a, 3a, 4a …

बेरीज

उत्तर

a, 2a, 3a, 4a …

It can be observed that

a2 − a1 = 2a − a = a

a3 − a= 3a − 2a = a

a4 − a3 = 4a − 3a = a

i.e., ak+1 − ak is same every time. Therefore, d = a

The given numbers are in A.P.

Three more terms are

a5 = 4a + a = 5a

a6 = 5a + a = 6a

a= 6a + a = 7a

Case Study

Push-ups are a fast and effective exercise for building strength. These are helpful in almost all sports including athletics. While the push-up primarily targets the muscles of the chest, arms, and shoulders, support required from other muscles helps in toning up the whole body.


Nitesh wants to participate in the push-up challenge. He can currently make 3000 push-ups in one hour. But he wants to achieve a target of 3900 push-ups in 1 hour for which he practices regularly. With each day of practice, he is able to make 5 more push-ups in one hour as compared to the previous day. If on first day of practice he makes 3000 push-ups and continues to practice regularly till his target is achieved. Keeping the above situation in mind answer the following questions:

  1. Form an A.P representing the number of push-ups per day and hence find the minimum number of days he needs to practice before the day his goal is accomplished?
  2. Find the total number of push-ups performed by Nitesh up to the day his goal is achieved.
