AMITY GLOBAL
A sequence of numbers is known as an

arithmetic progression (A.P.) if the
difference between the term and the
preceding term is always same or
constant.
An arithmetic progression is a
sequence of numbers such that the
difference between any two successive
members is constant.

For example,
•the sequence 1, 2, 3, 4, … is an arithmetic
progression with common difference 1.
•Second example: the sequence 3, 5, 7, 9, 11,

… is an arithmetic progression with common
difference 2
•the sequence 20, 10, 0, -10, -20, -30, … is an

arithmetic progression with common difference
-10.

(i) Given A.P. is 1, 4, 7, 10, ……….

First term (a) = 1
Common difference (d) = Second term – First term
= 4 – 1 = 3.
We know that, nth term in an A.P = a + (n – 1)d
Then, 10th term in the A.P is 1 + (10 – 1)3
= 1 + 9×3
= 1 + 27
= 28
∴ 10th term of A. P. is 28

(vii) Given A. P is 3/4, 5/4, 7/4, 9/4, …………
First term (a) = 3/4
Common difference (d) = Second term – first term
= 5/4 – 3/4
= 2/4
We know that, nth term an = a + (n – 1)d
Then, 9th term a9 = a + (9 – 1)d
∴ 9th term of the A. P. is 19/4.

(i) Which term of the AP 3, 8, 13, …. is 248?
(ii) Which term of the AP 84, 80, 76, … is 0?
(iii) Which term of the AP 4. 9, 14, …. is 254?
(iv) Which term of the AP 21. 42, 63, 84, … is 420?
(v) Which term of the AP 121, 117, 113, … is its

first negative term?

i) Given A.P. is 3, 8, 13, ………..

First term (a) = 3
Common difference (d) = Second term – first term
=8–3
=5
We know that, nth term (an) = a + (n – 1)d
And, given nth term an = 248

248 = 3+(n – 1)5
248 = -2 + 5n
5n = 250
n =250/5 = 50
∴ 50th term in the A.P is 248.

AMITY GLOBAL
(v) Given A.P is 121, 117, 113, ………..

First term (a) = 121
Common difference (d) = 117 – 121= – 4
And, for some nth term is negative i.e., an < 0

121 + (n – 1) – 4 < 0
121 + 4 – 4n < 0
125 – 4n < 0
4n > 125
n > 125/4
n > 31.25
The integer which comes after 31.25 is 32.
∴ 32nd term in the A.P will be the first negative term. 11

How many terms are there in the A.P.?

(i) 7, 10, 13, ….., 43
(ii) -1, -5/6, -2/3, -1/2, … , 10/3
(iii) 7, 13, 19, …, 205
(iv) 18, 15½, 13, …., -47

(i) Given, A.P. 7, 10, 13, ….., 43

Here, a = 7 and d = a2 – a1 = 10 – 7 = 3
And, given nth term an = 43
a + (n – 1)d = 43
7 + (n – 1)(3) = 43
7 + 3n – 3 = 43
3n = 43 – 4
3n = 39
⇒ n = 13
Therefore, there are 13 terms in the given A.P.

The 6th and 17th terms of an A.P. are 19 and 41 respectively, find

the 40th term.
a6 = 19 and a17 = 41
So,
a6 = a + (6-1)d
⇒ a + 5d = 19 …… (i)
Similarity,
a17 = a + (17 – 1)d
⇒ a + 16d = 41 …… (ii)
Solving (i) and (ii),
(ii) – (i) ⇒
a + 16d – (a + 5d) = 41 – 19
11d = 22
⇒d=2
Using d in (i), we get
a + 5(2) = 19
a = 19 – 10 = 9
Now, the 40th term is given by a40 = 9 + (40 – 1)2 = 9 + 78 = 87 14

If 10 times the 10th term of an A.P. is equal to 15 times

the 15th term, show that 25th term of the A.P. is zero.
Solution:
Given,
10 times the 10th term of an A.P. is equal to 15 times the
15th term.
⇒ 10(a10) = 15(a15)
10(a + (10 – 1)d) = 15(a + (15 – 1)d)
10(a + 9d) = 15(a + 14d)
10a + 90d = 15a + 210d
5a + 120d = 0
5(a + 24d) = 0
a + 24d = 0
a + (25 – 1)d = 0
⇒ a25 = 0
Therefore, the 25th term of the A.P. is zero. 15

(i) Given A.P.is 50, 46, 42 to 10 term.

First term (a) = 50
Common difference (d) = 46 – 50 = – 4
nth term (n) = 10
= 5{100 – 9.4}
= 5{100 – 36}
= S × 64
∴ S10 = 320
