Note:
A) Find 4 consecutive terms in an AP whose sum is 4 and the product of the middle 2 terms is -3.
Solution:
1) Let " a " be the first term & " d " be a common difference.
2) As we need to find 4 consecutive terms of an AP, Let the terms be (a-3 d), (a-d), (a+d), (a+3 d).
3) According to the problem,
(a-3 d) + (a-d) + (a+d) + (a+3 d) = 4
4 a = 4
a = 1
4) According to the problem,
( a - d ) ( a + d ) = - 3
a2 – d2 = - 3
1 + 3 = d2
4 = d2
d = 2 or d = -2
5) Answer: Taking a = 1 & d = 2, the terms are - 5, - 1, 3, 7.
Taking a = 1 & d = - 2, the terms are 7, 3, - 1, - 5.
B) In an AP, if Sn = Sm then find Sm+n.
Solution:
1) Let " a " be the first term & " d " be a common difference.
2) Sn = (n/2) * [ 2 a + ( n - 1 ) d ] ---------------- (1)
Sm = (m/2) * [ 2 a + ( m - 1 ) d ] ----------------- (2)
3) According to the problem, as Sn = Sm,
4) Sm+n = (m+n/2) * [ 2 a + ( m + n - 1 ) d ]
Sm+n = (m+n/2) * [ 0 ]
Sm+n = 0
5) Answer: Here Sm+n = 0
C) How many 3-digit natural numbers leave the remainder of 3 when divided by 4.
Solution:
1) We know that the lowest 3-digit number is 100 & the largest one is 999.
2) So the numbers leaving 3 as the remainder when divided by 4 between 100 & 999 are
107, 111, 115, ----, 999.
3) Here a = 107, d = 4 and last term = 999.
4) First we will find the total number of terms, so here,
tn = a + ( n - 1 ) d, we have,
999 = 107 + ( n - 1 ) * 4
4 * ( n - 1 ) = 999 - 107
4 * ( n - 1 ) = 892
( n - 1 ) = 892 / 4
( n - 1 ) = 223
n = 223 + 1
n = 224
1) To find 3 consecutive terms in an AP, let the terms be (a-d), (a), (a+d).
2) To find 5 consecutive terms in an AP, let the terms be (a-2 d), (a-d), (a), (a+d), (a+2 d).
3) To find 4 consecutive terms in an AP, let the terms be (a-3 d), (a-d), (a+d), (a+3 d).
