Sample Questions

1multiple correct

Which of the following sequences are arithmetic progressions?

Show answer

2, 5, 8, 11, 14, 10, 7, 4, 1, -2, 15, 15, 15, 15, 15

AP has constant difference. (1) d=3, (2) squares-not AP, (3) d=-3, (4) GP with r=2, (5) d=0. Options 1, 3, and 5 are APs.

2multiple choice

If the sum of first n terms of an AP is 3n² + 2n, find the common difference.

Show answer

6

Given Sn = 3n² + 2n. T1 = S1 = 3(1)² + 2(1) = 5. T2 = S2 - S1 = [3(4) + 4] - 5 = 16 - 5 = 11. d = T2 - T1 = 11 - 5 = 6.

3multiple choice

Three numbers in GP have sum 14 and product 64. Find the middle term.

Show answer

4

Let numbers be a/r, a, ar. Sum: a/r + a + ar = 14. Product: (a/r) × a × ar = a³ = 64, so a = 4. The middle term is 4.

4multiple choice

Find the number of terms in the AP: 7, 13, 19, ..., 205

Show answer

34

a = 7, d = 6, last term l = 205. Using l = a + (n-1)d: 205 = 7 + (n-1)6. Solving: 198 = (n-1)6, so n-1 = 33, therefore n = 34.
