If the pth term of an A. P. is `1/q` and qth term is `1/p`, prove that the sum of first pq terms of the A. P. is `((pq+1)/2)`.
उत्तर
Suppose a be the first term and d be the common difference of the given AP
`a_p = 1/q`
`=> a + (p -1)d = 1/q` ....(1)
And
`a_q = 1/p`
`=> a + (q - 1)d = 1/p` ....(2)
Subtracting (2) from (1), we get
`1/q - 1/p= (p - q)d`
`=> (p - q)/"pq" = (p - q)d`
`=>d = 1/(pq)`
Putting d = `1/"pq"` in 1 we get
`a + (p - 1) 1/"pq" = 1/q`
`=> a + 1/q - 1/"pq" = 1/q`
`=> a = 1/"pq"`
∴ Sum of pq terms,
`S_"pq" = "pq"/2 [2a + (pq - 1)d]`
`= "pq"/2[2/"pq" + (pq - 1) 1/"pq"]`
`= "pq"/2 ((1 + pq)/(pq))`
`=((pq + 1)/2)`
Hence proved

In a school, students thought of planting trees in and around the school to reduce air pollution. It was decided that the number of trees, that each section of each class will plant will be the same as the class, in which they are studying, e.g., a section of class I will plant 1 tree, a section of class II will plant 2 trees, and so on till class XII. There are three sections of each class. How many trees will be planted by the students?

Complete the following activity to find the 19th term of an A.P. 7, 13, 19, 25, ........ :
Activity:
Given A.P. : 7, 13, 19, 25, ..........
Here first term a = 7; t19 = ?
tn + a + `(square)`d .........(formula)
∴ t19 = 7 + (19 – 1) `square`
∴ t19 = 7 + `square`
∴ t19 = `square`
