If the sum of first 7 terms of an A.P. is 49 and that of its first 17 terms is 289, find the sum of first n terms of the A.P.
उत्तर
Let the first term and the common difference of the given A.P. be a and d, respectively.
Sum of the first 7 terms, S7 = 49
We know
`S = n/2[2a + (n - 1)d]`
⇒ `7/2(2a + 6d) = 49`
⇒ `7/2 xx 2(a + 3d) = 49`
⇒ a + 3d = 7 ...(1)
Sum of the first 17 terms, S17 = 289
⇒ `17/2(2a + 16d) = 289`
⇒ `17/2 xx 2(a + 8d) = 289`
⇒ a + 8d = `289/17`
⇒ a + 8d = 17 ...(2)
Subtracting (2) from (1), we get
5d = 10
d = `5/10`
⇒ d = 2
Substituting the value of d in (1), we get
a = 1
Now,
sum of the first n terms is given by
`S_n = n/2[2a + (n - 1)d]`
= `n/2[2 xx 1 + (n - 1) xx 2]`
= `n/2 [2 + 2n - 2]`
= `n/2 [2n]`
= n2
Therefore, the sum of the first n terms of the A.P. is n2.

In a potato race, a bucket is placed at the starting point, which is 5 m from the first potato and other potatoes are placed 3 m apart in a straight line. There are ten potatoes in the line.
A competitor starts from the bucket, picks up the nearest potato, runs back with it, drops it in the bucket, runs back to pick up the next potato, runs to the bucket to drop it in, and she continues in the same way until all the potatoes are in the bucket. What is the total distance the competitor has to run?
[Hint: to pick up the first potato and the second potato, the total distance (in metres) run by a competitor is 2 × 5 + 2 ×(5 + 3)]
