Class 10 Arithmetic Progression Practice WORKSHEET

This document contains a practice assignment on arithmetic progressions for Class 10 with 24 questions divided into multiple sections. The questions range from single-choice multiple choice questions to multi-part questions involving the calculation of terms, sums, and ratios of arithmetic progressions. An example question asks the student to determine the length of a metal rod in an arithmetic progression based on a diagram. Another asks the student to find the sum of the first 20 terms of an arithmetic progression given information about its 6th and 8th terms.
