Mathcity.o RG: Exercise 6.5 (Solutions)

The document is a textbook providing solutions to exercises involving sequences and series. It contains 10 questions with step-by-step workings showing how to determine terms in sequences, total sums, and other values based on given patterns and formulas for sequences. Several questions involve finding unknown terms or totals based on arithmetic or geometric sequences where the first term, common difference, and number of terms are given. Other questions apply sequence formulas to problems involving savings amounts, falling distances, prize money distributions, and counting objects in layered structures.

Exercise 6.5 (Solutions)

Question #
1
The sequence of the deposits is
10, 15, 20, . to 9
terms
Here a1 =10 , d = 15 10 = 5 , n = 9
Since
n
= [2a + (n 1)d ]
S
1

S9

[2(10) + (9 1)(5)]

[20 + 40]

(60) = 270

Hence the total amount he deposits is Rs. 270.

Question # 2
The sequence of the trees from top to base row
is 1, 2, 3,
Let n be the total number of tress in base row then
a1 = 1, d = 2 1 =1 , n =
n , Sn = 378

[2a + (n

Now

1)d

2
378 =

756 = n [2 + n

[2(1) + (n 1)(1)]

1]

2
756 = n (n +1) 756 = n 2 + n
1

n 2 + n 756 = 0

n
=

So

(1)2 4(1)(
756)
2(1)

n = 1

1+
3024
2

n = 1 + 55
So

5
4 = 27
2

= 1

30
25 =

n = 1 55
or

Since n can never be negative therefore n = 27

2

=
28

an = a1 + (n 1)d
a27 = (1) + (27 1)(1) = 1+ 26 = 27
Thus the numbers of trees in the base row are 27.

Now

Question # 3
Let the first installment be x then the sequence of installment will be
x, x 10, x 20,......................
d=
Here a1 = x ,
, n = 14 and Sn = 1100 + 230 = 1330
-10
Now S

[2a + (n 1)d ]
1

1330 14 [2x + (14 1)(10)] 1330 = 7[2x 130] 1330 = 14x 910
2
+ 910 =
1330 14x
2240 = 14x x = 2240 = 160
14
Hence the first installment is 160.

Question # 4
The sequence of the strikes is
1, 2, 3, .,
12
a1 = 1
Here
, d = 2 1 = 2 , n = 12 , an = 12

[2a + (n 1)d
]

Now

n

12

[2(1) + (12 1)(1)]

1
= 2

[2 + 11]

[13] =

1
= 2

78

Hence clock strikes 78 hours in twelve strikes.

Question # 5
The sequence of the savings is
12, 16, 20,
Total Savings = 2100
So here a1 = 12 , d = 16 12 = 4 , Sn = 2100 , n = ?
=

Since S
2100 =

[2a + (n 1)d
1

4200 = n [24 + 4 n 4]

[2(12) + (n 1)(4)]
2

4200 =
4n 2

4200 = n [4n + 20]


4
n
2

+ 20n 4200 = 0

4(
n 2 + 5n 1050) = 0

n 2 + 5n 1050 = 0

n=

= 5

So

+
20n

(5)2 4(1)(

or
n = 5 65 =

As n can never be negative therefore n = 30
Thus student will save Rs. 2100 in 30 weeks.

Question # 6
The sequence of the falls is

=
3
0

(1)

(2)

9, 27, 45,
a1 = 9 , d = 27 9 = 18 , a5 = ?
Since a5 = a1 + 4d = 9 + 4(18) = 9 + 72 = 81
Hence in fifth second the object will fall 81 meters.
Here a1 = 9 , d = 27 9 = 18 , n = 5, S5 = ?

Since Sn = 2 [2a1 + (n 1)d ]


1 S5 =

5
5
2 [2(9) + (5 1)(18)] = 2 [18 + 72] = 2 (90) =
th

225 Thus up to 5 second the object will fall 225 meters.

Question # 7
Here a1 = 6000 , a11 = 12000 , n = 11
=

Now
Sn

[6000 +12000] =

(18000) = 99000

2
Hence he will receive Rs. 99000 in past eleven years.

Question # 8
Since the sum of angels of 3 sided polygon (triangle) = a1 =

Sum of angels of 4 sided polygon (quadrilateral) =


a2
Sum of the angels of 5 sided polygon (pentagon) =
a3
So
The sum of interior angels of 16 side polygon = a14 = ?
Here a1 = , d = a2 a1 = 2 = , n = 14
an = a1 + (n 1) d
Since
a14 = + (14 1)( ) = + 13 = 14
Hence sum of interior angels of 16 side polygon is
14 .

= 2
= 3

Question # 9
Let a1 denotes the prize money for the last position
Then a1 = 4000 , Sn = 60000 , n = 8 , an = ?
=

Since
S

(a +

60000 =

(4000+

2
60000 = 16000 +
4an

an =

44000

60000 = 4(4000+ a

60000 16000 =
4an

44000 = 4an

11000
4

Hence the team at 1st place will get 11000


Rs.

Question # 10
Balls in the first layer = 8 + 7 + 6 + + 2 + 1
=

[2(8) + (8 1)(1)] = 4(16 7)


=36

2
Balls in the second layer = 7 + 6 + 5 + + 2 +

=

[2(7) + (7 1)(1)] = [14 6 ]=

2

[ 8 ]=28

Balls in the third


layer
Balls in the fourth
layer
= 5 + 4 + 3 + 2 +1 = 15
Balls in the fifth
layer
= 4 + 3 + 2 + 1 = 10
Balls in the sixth
layer
=3+2+1=6
Balls in the seventh layer = 2 + 1 = 3
Balls in the eighth
layer
=1
Hence the number of balls in pyramid
= 36 + 28 + 21 + 15 + 10 + 6 + 3 + 1 =
120
