Solution
Answer (3)
Here, an = n(n + 1)(2n + 1)
a5 = 5 6 11 = 330
2.
Answer (1)
Here, an = 2n + 5
Alternate method:
a1 = 7
an = 2n + 5
a2 = 9
an 1 = 2(n 1) + 5 = 2n + 3
d = an an 1 = 2
Thus, d = a2 a1 = 2
3.
Answer (3)
Here a6 = a + 5d = 13
and a12 = a + 11d = 25
6d = 12
d=2
and a = 3
Hence a20 = a + 19d = 3 + 38 = 41
4.
Answer (2)
Let D be the common difference,
then c = a + 2D
d = a + 3D
e = a + 4D
Clearly, e c = 2D = 2(d c)

Answer (4)
Numbers divisible by 17 and lying between 81 and 1792 are 85, 102, 119, , 1785
1785 = 85 + (n 1) 17
1700 = (n 1) 17
100 = n 1
n = 101
13.
Answer (3)
(a d) + a + (a + d) = 24
a=8
Also, (8 d)2 + 82 + (8 + d)2 = 200
64 16d + d2 + 64 + 64 + d2 + 16d = 200
2d2 + 192 = 200

2d2 = 8
d = 2
Hence numbers are 6, 8, 10

Let the numbers are a and b.
G 2 ab
(i)
Also a, p, q, b be in A.P.
2p = a + q (2p q) = a
and 2q = p + b (2q p) = b
(2p q) (2q p) = ab = G2 by (i)
64.
Answer (2)
Let the numbers are a, ar, ar2
a + ar + ar2 = 56
(i)
a 1, ar 7, ar 21 are in A.P.
2(ar 7) = (a 1) + (ar2 21)
2ar 14 = a + ar2 22
(ii)
By (i) and (ii)

2ar 14 = (56 ar) 22
3ar = 56 22 + 14
3ar = 48
ar = 16
(iii)
By (i), (iii)
a + 16 + ar2 = 56
a + ar2 = 40
Again ar = 16 a =

solving, we get

if r = 2, then a = 8
then numbers are 8, 16, 32.

Case (ii)
if r =

then numbers are 32, 16, 8.

Answer (2)
Let common ratio of G.P. is r
b = ar, c = ar2, d = ar3
x2 4x + k1 = 0
- 16 -
Q.No.
Solution
By the properties of roots

a + b = 4 a + ar = 4
(i)
ab = k1 a(ar) = k1
a2r = k1
(ii)
Similarly,
x2 36x + k2 = 0
2
ar + ar = 36

(iii)
(ar ) (ar ) = k2

By (i) and (iii),

r
Case (i) if r = 3, then by (i) a = 1

k1 = 3, k2 = 243
k1 k2 = 243 3 = 729
By a < b < c < d we find that r is positive hence only one case is possible. That is given by r = 3
66.
Answer (1)
Let common ratio = r
b = ar, c = ar2
a + b + c = xb
a + ar + ar2 = x(ar)
1 + r + r2 = xr
r + r(1 x) + 1 = 0
Because r is real, hence Discriminant 0

By (i) and (ii) we get that a(10 a) = 9

a2 10a + 9 = 0
(a 1) (a 9) = 0
if
a = 1, 9
a = 1 then b = 9 and if a = 9, then b = 1

Answer (1)
Let the roots are x1, x2, x3, x4 and all are positive
By the properties of roots
x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 = 4
(i)
x1x2 + x1x3 + x1x4 + x2x3 + x2x4 + x3x4 = a
(ii)
x1x2x3 + x1x2x4 + x2x3x4 + x3x4x1 = b
(iii)
x1x2x3x4 = 1 (iv)
By (i) and (iv)
A.M. of x1, x2, x3, x4 = G.M. of x1, x2, x3, x4
Hence the roots are equal
x1 = x2 = x3 = x4 = 1

Answer A(p, s, t), B(p, s), C(r, t), D(p, q, r, s)

(A) The roots of the given equation are 1, 3, 5
Hence, common difference is = 2
(B) Obviously, for x = 2, [x], sgn x and {x}
Will be in A.P.
Hence there are two values of x.
(C) Since, a, b, c are in A.P.
2b = a + c, then straight line ax + by + c = 0 will pass through (1, 2) because it satisfy the
condition a 2b + c = 0 or 2b = a + c

Let r be the common ratio then x2 = r, x3 = r

Also as G.P. is infinite and decreasing,
1 < r < 1, r > 0 so, 0 < r < 1

Let the digits be a, ar, ar , then the number is 100a + 10ar + ar

2
It is given 100a + 10ar + ar 400

2
100(a 4), ar, ar are in A.P.

2
2ar = ar + (a 4)
a(1 r) = 4
(1 r )2
1 r is a rational number so
4
a
4
2
is rational
a
a
Since a > 4, a = 9
Hence 1 r

So digits 9, 3, 1. Hence the number 931

Let the numbers be a d, a, a + d, a + 2d

Since this is an increasing A.P. of integers, a, b Z and d > 0
