PROBLEM
1.
For an arithmetic sequence , the 8th term is 35 and the 11th

term is 47
a) Find 14th term
b) Find 5th term
c) To get the 17th term, how much is to be added to the 8th
term?
Answer
Common difference =d
8th term = 35
11th term = 47
8th term + 3d = 11th term
3d=11th term - 8th term = 47- 35= 12
a) 14th term = 11th term + 3d =47 + 12 = 59
b) 5th term = 8th term 3d =35-12 = 23
c) 17th term = 8th term + 9d
17th term = 8th term + 3 x12 = 8th term + 36
PROBLEM

b) Find the 7th term
c) Will 50 be a term of this sequence? Why?
d) Can the difference between any two terms of this
sequence be 50? Justify your answer.

c) If any term of this sequence is divided by the common difference 4, the
remainder is 2. 50 divided by 4 gives remainder 2. So, 50 is a term of this
sequence
d) The difference between any two terms of an arithmetic sequence will
be the multiple of its common difference. Here, 50 is not a multiple of 4.
So, for this sequence, 50 cannot be the difference of two terms.
PROBLEM
3.
Consider the multiples of 7 in between 100 and 500.

a) What are the first and last numbers?
b) How many terms are ther in this sequence?
Answer
To get the first term, first find the remainder when 100 is divided by 7,
remainder is 2.
Then subtract 2 from 100 and add 7
So, 1st term 100-2+7 105
To get the last term, find the remainder when 500 is divided by 7,
remainder is 3.
Subtract 3 from 500
So, last term 500-3

PROBLEM
5.
Examine whether 685 is a term of the arithmetic sequence 7,

29, 51 ? Give reason?
Answer
First term a = 7
Common difference d = 29 7 = 22
nth term = 685
a + (n-1)d = 685
7 + 22n - 22 = 685
n = 31.82
Thus 685 is not a term of the arithmetic sequence 7, 29, 51
Because n is not a whole number
PROBLEM
Answer

Common difference d = 6
Let the nth term of the given AP be the first negative term.
Then,

6n > 199

i.e., n 34
Thus, the 34 th term of the given sequence is the first negative term.
PROBLEM
7.
The 5th term of an arithmetic sequence is 34 and the

15th term is 9.
(a) Find the common difference
(b) Find the rth term of the arithmetic sequence.
Answer
According to the given information,
x5 = f + 4d = 34 and
x15 = f + 14d = 9
Solving the two equations, we get
f = 44
d = -2.5
Therefore, rth term = f + (r-1)d
= 44 -(r-1)2.5
= 46.5 - 2.5 r

(a) This is an Arithmetic sequence with common difference 5.
(b) If any term of this sequence is divided by the common difference 5,
the remainder is 2.
100 divided by 5 gives remainder 0, not 2. So, 100 is not a term of this
sequence.
PROBLEM
9.
a) Write the arithmetic sequence with 1st term 7 and

common difference -2
b) Write the algebraic expression of this sequence.
c) Will -30 be a term of this sequence? Justify your answer.
Answer
a) 7, 5, 3...
b) xn = f + (n-1) d
= 7+ (n-1) -2 = -2n +9
c) Take -30 as the nth term. If we get n as a natural number, it will be a
term of the sequence.
-2n + 9 = -30
n = -39 / -2
n = 19.5
Here, n is not a natural number. So, -30 is not a term of this sequence.

b) 1st term + 25th term= 8th term + 18th term =67+147 = 214

11. For what value of n, the nth terms of the arithmetic sequence 63,

CLASS X
Page
Answer
The first AP is 63, 65, 67
Here, f=63, d=2
Therefore xn=63 + (n-1)2
The second AP is 3, 10, 17
Here, f=3, d=7
Therefore, an= 3 + (n-1)7
Therfore,
63 + (n-1)2 = 3 + (n-1)7
60 = 5(n-1)

n -1 = 12
n = 12+1 = 13
PROBLEM
12. Which term of the arithmetic sequence 5, 15, 25 ... will be

130 more than the 31st term?
Answer
Here, f = 5 and d = 10
x31= f + 30d = 5 + 30 x 10 = 305
Let the required term be the nth term. Then,
xn = 130 + x31
f + (n-1)d = 130+305
5 + (n-1)10 = 435
(n-1)10 = 430
n-1 = 43
n = 44
Hence, the 44th term of the given AP is 130 more than its 31st term.

Points:
The ends of a diameter of a circle are joined to some point and
we get a right angle at that point. At points within the circle
we get an angle larger than a right angle. For points outside
the circle, we get an angle smaller than aright angle.
Any diameter of the circle divides it into two equal arcs; and
we get a pair of right angles by joining points on each to the
ends of the diameter.
Two points on a circle divide it into a pair of arcs. The angle
got by joining these two points to a point on one of these arcs
is equal to half the central angle of the alternate arc.
The angle made by an arc at any point on the alternate arc is
equal to half the angle made at the centre.
Every chord of a circle divides it into two pruts. Such a part is
called a segment of a circle.
Angles in the same segment of a circle are equal.
A chord divides a circle into a pair of segments.
Angles in alternate segments are supplementary.
If all vertices of a quadrilateral are on a circle, then its opposite
angles are supplementary.
Suppose a circle is drawn through three vertices of a
quadrilateral. If the fourth vertex is outside this circle, then the
sum of the angles at this vertex and the opposite vertex is less
than 180; if the fourth vertex is inside the circle, then this sum
is greater than 180.
A quadrilateral for which a circle can be draVvn through all
the four vertices is called a cyclic quadrilateral.
All rectangles are cyclic quadrilaterals. Isosceles trapeziums
are also cyclic quadrilaterals.
If the opposite angles of a quadrilateral are supplementary,
then we can draw a circle through all four of its vertices.
The exterior angle at a vertex of a cyclic quadrilateral is equal
to the interior opposite angle.

CLASS X
9048332443
SSLC Mathematics

4x - 4y = 40
(x y) = 10
y = x - 10
Substituting the value of y in (1), we get,
x2 + (x - 10)2 = 500
2x2 - 20x - 400 = 0
x2 - 10x - 200 = 0
x = 20 or x = -10
As the side cannot be negative, x = 20
Hence, side of the first square, x = 20m

Answer
Let the length and breadth of garden be x m and y m respectively.
Area of the garden = 100 sq m
xy = 100 m2 or y =100/x
Suppose the person builds his house along the breadth of the garden.
Then, we have:
2x + y = 30
7. A person has a rectangular garden whose area is 100 sq m. He

fences three sides of the garden with 30 m barbed wire. On
the fourth side, the wall of his of his house is constructed;
find the dimensions of the garden.
SSLC Mathematics

2x + (100/x) =30
2x2 - 30x + 100 = 0
x = 10, x = 5
When x = 10 m, we have: y = 10 m
When x = 5 m, we have: y = 20 m
Thus, the dimensions of the garden are 10 m 10 m or 5 m 20 m.

Also x - y = 4
x=4+y
(4 + y)2 + y2 = 400
