Class 10 Ex 5.2 Ch-5 AP NCERT Solution, Q1- Fill in the blanks in the following table

Class 10 Ch-5 Arithmetics Progression Exercise-5.2

Quesition1: Fill in the blanks in the following table, given that a is the first term, d the common difference, and $a_n$ the nth term of the AP:

Solution: (i) a = 7, d = 3, n = 8, $a_n$ = ?
$a_n$ = a + (n-1)d
           = 7 + (8-1)3    
           = 7 + 21
Therefore, $a_n$ = 28

(ii) a = -18, d = ?, n = 10, $a_n$ = 0
$a_n$ = a + (n-1)d
0 = -18 + (10-1)d
18 = 9d
d = ${18}/9$
Therefore, d = 2

(iii)a = ?, d = -3, n = 18, $a_n$ = -5
$a_n$ = a + (n-1)d
-5 = a + (18-1)(-3)
-5 = a -51
a = 51 - 5
Therefore, a = 46

(iv) a = -18.9, d =2.5, n = ?, $a_n$ = 3.6
$a_n$ = a + (n-1)d
3.6 = -18.9 + (n-1)2.5
22.5 = (n-1)2.5
n-1 = ${22.5}/{2.5}$
n - 1 = 9 
Therefore, n = 10

(v)a = 3.5, d = 0, n = 105, $a_n$ = ?
$a_n$ = a + (n-1)d
$a_n$ = 3.5 + (105-1)0
$a_n$ = 3.5
