1. The sides of a right angled  are in A.P. If the  has

area 24, then what is the length of its smallest side. 8. Find the number of terms of the AP –12, –9, –6, ....., 21.
If 1 is added to each term of this AP then find the sum
of all terms of the AP thus obtained.
2. If pth, qth and rth terms of an A.P. are x, y and z
respectively, find the value of :
x(q – r) + y(r – p) + z(p – q).

9. A spiral is made up of successive semicircles, with

3. Solve the equation : 1 + 4 + 7 + 10 + ..... + x = 287. centers alternately at A and B, starting with center at
A, of radii 0.5 cm, 1 cm, 1.5 cm, 2 cm, ..... as in the
figure. What is the total length of such a spiral made
4. Solve the equation :
22
(x + 1) + (x + 4) + (x + 7) + ..... + (x + 28) = 165. up of 13 consecutive semicircles ? (Take   )

6. The sum of first m terms of an AP is (4m2– m). If its

nth term is 107, find the value of n. Also, find the 21st
term of this AP.

7. The sum of first q terms of an AP is (63q – 3q2). If its

pth term is 60, find the value of p. Also, find the 11th
term of its AP.

Answer Key
1. (6) take sides as a-d,a,a+d and solve 6. (n = 14, T21 = 163) use an=Sn-Sn-1
2. (0) substitute value of x,y,z in expression 7. (p = 1, T11 = 0) use an=Sn-Sn-1
3. (40) first find n by using sum of AP
formula then x 8. (n = 12, sum = 66) first find n by using sum
4. (x = 2) first use an=a+(n-1)d to find the formula then add 12
value of x, then sum formula 9. (143 cm)AP will be formed then use sum
5. (D) after simplification n should be formula
divisible by 7
