II. Answer the following.

Question 1.
Show that the square of any positive integer of the form 3m or 3m + 1 for some integer m.
Answer:
Let a be any positive integer. Then it is of the form 3q or 3q + 1 or 3q + 2
Case – 1 When a = 3q
a2 = (3q)2 = 9 q2
= (3q) (3q)
= 3m where m = 3q
Case – 2 When a = 3q + 1
a2 = (3q + 1)2 = 9q2 + 6q + 1
= 3q (3q + 2) + 1
= 3 m + 1
where m = q (3q + 2)
Case – 3 When a = 3q + 2
a2 = (3q + 2)2 = 9q2 + 12q + 4
= 9q2 + 12q + 3 + 1
= 3(3q2 + 4q + 1) + 1
= 3m + 1
where m = 3q2 + 4q + 1
Hence a is of the form 3m or 3m + 1

Question 2.
Show that any positive odd integer is of the form 4q + 1 or 4q + 3, where q is some integer.
Solution:
Let us start with taking a, where a is a +ve odd integer.
We apply the division algorithm with ‘a’ and ‘b’ = 4.
Since 0 < r < 4, the possible remainders are 0, 1, 2, 3.
That is, a can be 4q, or 4q + 1, or 4q + 2 or 4q + 3, where 1 is the quotient. However, since a is odd, a cannot be 4q or 4q + 2 (since they are both divisible by 2).
Any odd integer is of the form 4q + 1 or 4q + 3.

Question 3.
Compute x such that 54 = x (mod 8)
Answer:
52 = 25 = 1 (mod 8)

Question 7.
If a, b, c are in A.P. then prove that (a – c)2 = 4 (b2 – ac).
Answer:
Given a, b, c are in A.P.
n = 10
∴ b – a = c – b
2 b = a + c
Squaring on both sides,
(a + c)2 = (2b)2
a2 + c2 + 2ac = 4b2
(a – c)2 + 2ac + 2ac = 4b2
[a2 + c2 = (a – c)2 + 2ac]
(a – c)2 = 4b2 – 4ac
(a – c)2 = 4(b2 – ac)
Hence it is proved.
Aliter: Given a, b, c are in A.P.
b – a = c – b
2b = a + c
To prove, (a – c)2 = 4(b2 – ac)
L.H.S.= (a – c)2
= a2 + c2 – 2 ac
= (a + c)2 – 2 ac – 2ac
= (a + c)2 – 4ac
= (2b)2 – 4ac (2b = a + c)
= 4b2 – 4ac = 4 (b2 – ac) = R.H.S
∴ L.H.S = R.H.S., Hence proved.

Question 8.
If the sum of the first 14 terms of an AP is 1050 and its first term is 10, find the 20th term.
Solution:
Here S14 = 1050
n = 14
a = 10
Sn = \(\frac { n }{ 2 } \) (2a + (n – 1)d)
1050 = \(\frac { 14 }{ 2 } \) (20 + 13d)
= 140 + 91d
910 = 91d
d = 10
a20 = 10 + (20 – 1) × 10
= 20
∴ 20th term = 200.

Question 9.
Find the sum of the first 40 terms of the series 12 – 22 + 32 – 42 + ….
Answer:

Grouping the terms we get,
(12 – 22) + (32 – 42) + (52 – 62) + ………….. 20 terms
(1 – 4) + (9 – 16) + (25 – 36) + …………… 20 terms
(- 3) + (- 7) + (- 11) + ………………. 20 term
This is an A.P
Here a = – 3, d = – 7 – (-3) = – 7 + 3 = – 4 n = 20
Sn = \(\frac { n }{ 2 } \) [2a + (n – 1) d ]
S20 = \(\frac { 20 }{ 2 } \) [2(-3) + 19(-4)]
= 10 (- 6 – 76) = 10 (- 82) = – 820
∴ Sum of 40 terms of the series is – 820.
Aliter. 12 – 22 + 32 – 42 + …….. + 392 – 402
= 12 + 32 + 52 + ……. + 392
(22 + 42 + 62 + ……….. + 402)
= 12 + 22 + 32 + 42 + …. + 402
– (22 + 42 + 62 + …. + 402)
– (22 + 42 + 62 + …. + 402)
= 12 + 22 + 32 + …. + 402

Here,7 – 5 = 9 – 7 = 11 – 9 = 2 and soon. So, it forms an A.P. with common difference d = 2.
To find S24, we have n = 24, a = 5, d = 2.
S24 = \(\frac { 24 }{ 2 } \) [2 × 5 + (24 – 1) × 2 ]
= 12 [10 + 46] = 672
So, sum of first 24 terms of the list of numbers is 672.

Question 11.
If a clock strikes once at 1 o’clock, twice at 2 o’clock and so on, how many times will it strike in a day?
Answer:
Number of times the clock strikes each hour form an A.P.
Number of times strike in 12 hours is
1 + 2 + 3 + …….. + 12
Here, a = 1, d = 1, n = 12, l = 12
Sn = \(\frac { n }{ 2 } \) (a + l) = \(\frac { 12 }{ 2 } \) (1 + 12)
= 6 × 13 = 78 times
∴ Number of times the clock strike in 24 hours
= 78 × 2 = 156 times.

Question 4.
Find the three consecutive terms in an A.P. whose sum is 18 and the sum of their squares is 140.
Answer:
Let the three consecutive terms in an
A.P. be m – d,m,m + d
By the given data,
Sum of threee terms = 18
m – d + m + m + d = 18
3m = 18
m = \(\frac { 18 }{ 3 } \) = 6
Again by the given data,
Sum of their squares = 140
(m – d)2 + m2 + (m + d)2 = 140
m2 + d2 – 2md + m2 + m2 + d2 + 2md = 140
3m2 + 2d2 = 140
3(62) + 2d2 = 140
3(36) + 2d2 = 140
2d2 = 140 – 108
2d2 = 32
d2 = \(\frac { 32 }{ 2 } \) = 16
∴ d = ± 4
when, m = 6, d = + 4
m – d = 6 – 4 = 2
m = 6
m + d = 6 + 4 = 10
when, m = 6, d = -4
m – d = 6-(-4) = 6 + 4= 10
m = 6
m + d = 6 +(-4) = 6 – 4 = 2
∴ The three numbers are 2, 6 and 10 or 10, 6,2.

Question 5.
If m times the mth term of an A.P. is equal to n times its nth term, then show that the (m + n)th term of the A.P. is zero.
Answer:
Given, mtm = ntn
m[a + (m – 1) d] = n [a + (n – 1) d]
[we know that tn = a + (n – 1)d]
m[a + md – d] = n[a + nd – d]
ma + m2d – md = na + n2d – nd
ma – na + m2d – n2d = md – nd
a (m – n) + d (m2 – n2) = d(m – n)
a (m – n) + d(m + n)(m – n) = d(m – n) ÷ by (m – n) on both sides,
a + d (m + n) = d
a + d(m + n) – d = 0
a + d(m + n – 1) = 0 ….. (1)
To prove, t(m+n) = 0
t(m+n) = a + (m + n – 1)d
t(m+n) = 0(from(1))
Hence it is proved.

Question 6.
If a, b, c are in A.P. then prove that (a – c)2 = 4 (b2 – ac).
Answer:
Given a, b, c are in A.P.
∴ b – a = c – b
2 b = a + c
Squaring on both sides,
(a + c)2 = (2b)2
a2 + c2 + 2 ac = 4 b2
(a – c)2 + 2 ac + 2 ac = 4 b2
[a2 + c2 = (a – c)2 + 2 ac]
(a – c)2 = 4b2 – 4ac
(a – c)2 = 4 (b2 – ac)
Hence it is proved.
Aliter: Given a, b, c are in A.P.
b – a = c – b
2 b = a + c
To prove, (a – c)2 = 4(b2 – ac)
L.H.S. = (a – c)2
= a2 + c2 – 2ab
= (a + c)2 – 2ac – 2ac
= (a + c)2 – 4ac
= (2b)2 – 4ac (2b = a + c)
= 4 b2 – 4ac = 4 (b2 – ac) = R.H.S
∴ L.H.S = R.H.S., Hence proved.

Answer:
Samacheer Kalvi 10th Maths Guide Chapter 2 Numbers and Sequences Additional Questions 18
n[2a + (m – 1) d] = tn[2a + nd-d]
2 an + mnd- nd = 2 am + mnd— md 2an-2am = nd- md 2 a (n-m) = d(n- m)
÷ by (n – m) on both sides,
2a = d
To prove, tm : tn = (2m – 1) : (2n – 1)
L.H.S = tm : tn
= a + (m – 1) d : a + (n – 1)d
= a + (m – 1) 2a : a + (n – 1)2a
[Substitute the value of d = 2a]
= a + 2 am – 2 a: a + 2 am – 2a
= 2am – a : 2an – a
= a (2m – 1) : a (2n – 1)
= (2m – 1) : (2n – 1) = R. H. S
= (2m – 1) : (2n – 1)
∴ tm : tn
L.H.S = R.H.S

Question 8.
A construction company will be penalised each day for delay in construction of a bridge. The penalty will be ₹4000 for the first day and will increase by ₹1000 for each following day. Based on its budget, the company can afford to pay a maximum of ₹1,65,000 towards penalty. Find the maximum number of days by which the completion of work can be delayed.
Solution:
Penalty for the first day (a) = ₹ 4000
Increased rate for every day (d) = ₹ 1000
Maximum amount of penalty (Sn)
= ₹ 1,65,000
Sn = \(\frac { n }{ 2 } \) [2a + (n-1) 1000]
165000 = \(\frac { n }{ 2 } \) [2(4000) + (n – 1) 1000]
= \(\frac { n }{ 2 } \) [8000 + 1000 n – 1000]
165000 = \(\frac { n }{ 2 } \) (7000 + 1000n)
330000 = 7000 n + 1000 n2
0 = 1000 n2 + 7000 n – 330000 ÷ 1000 on both sides,
n2 + 7n – 330 = 0
(n + 22) (n – 15) = 0
n = -22 or n = 15
n = -22 (not possible)
∴ Maximum number of days for which the work can be delayed is 15 days.

Let a = a, b = ar, c = ar2, d = ar3
To prove, (a – b + c) (b + c + d) = ab + bc + cd
L.H.S. = (a – b + c)(b + c + d)
= (a – ar + ar2) (ar + ar2 + ar3 )
= a (1 – r + r2)ar (1 + r + r2)
= a2r (1 – r + r2) (1 + r + r2)
= a2r (1 + r2 + r4)
= a2r + a2r3 + a2r5

(1) 6
(2) 7
(3) 8
(4) 9
Answer:
(3) 8
Here a = 1, d = 4, Sn = 120
Sn = \(\frac { n }{ 2 } \)[2a + (n – 1)d]
120 = \(\frac { n }{ 2 } \) [2 + (n – 1)4] = \(\frac { n }{ 2 } \) [2 + 4n – 4)]
= \(\frac { n }{ 2 } \) [4n – 2)] = \(\frac { n }{ 2 } \) × 2 (2n – 1)
120 = 2n2 – n
∴ 2n2 – n – 120 = 0 ⇒ 2n2 – 16n + 15n – 120 = 0
2n(n – 8) + 15 (n – 8) = 0 ⇒ (n – 8) (2n + 15) = 0
n = 8 or n = \(\frac { -15 }{ 2 } \) (omitted)
