For each natural number k. Let `C_(k)` denotes the circle with radius k centimetres and centre at origin. On the circle `C_(k)` a particle moves k centrimetres in the counter-clockwise direction . After completing its motion on `C_(k)` the particle moves to `C_(k+1)` in the radial direction . The motion of the particle continue in this manner. The particle starts at ( 1,0). If the particle crosses the positive direction of the X -axis for the first time on the circle `C_(n)`, then `n ="__________________"`.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will analyze the motion of the particle step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Initial Position**: The particle starts at the point (1, 0) on the circle \(C_1\) which has a radius of 1 cm. 2. **Motion on Circle \(C_k\)**: For each circle \(C_k\), the particle moves \(k\) centimeters in the counter-clockwise direction. The angle \(\theta\) in radians that the particle moves can be calculated using the formula: \[ \theta = \frac{\text{arc length}}{\text{radius}} = \frac{k}{k} = 1 \text{ radian} \] 3. **Position After Moving on Circle \(C_1\)**: After moving 1 cm on circle \(C_1\), the particle moves 1 radian counter-clockwise from (1, 0). The new position can be calculated using the parametric equations of a circle: \[ x = r \cos(\theta) = 1 \cos(1) \quad \text{and} \quad y = r \sin(\theta) = 1 \sin(1) \] 4. **Moving to Circle \(C_2\)**: After completing the motion on \(C_1\), the particle moves radially outward to circle \(C_2\) (radius 2 cm). The new position is: \[ x = 2 \cos(1) \quad \text{and} \quad y = 2 \sin(1) \] 5. **Motion on Circle \(C_2\)**: The particle then moves 2 cm on circle \(C_2\). The angle moved is: \[ \theta = \frac{2}{2} = 1 \text{ radian} \] The new position after moving on \(C_2\) is: \[ x = 2 \cos(1 + 1) = 2 \cos(2) \quad \text{and} \quad y = 2 \sin(1 + 1) = 2 \sin(2) \] 6. **Continuing the Process**: This process continues for each \(k\): - On circle \(C_k\), the particle moves \(k\) cm, which corresponds to moving 1 radian. - After moving on \(C_k\), the particle moves to circle \(C_{k+1}\). 7. **Finding When the Particle Crosses the Positive X-axis**: The particle crosses the positive x-axis when the y-coordinate is 0 and the x-coordinate is positive. This occurs when: \[ \theta = 2\pi n \quad \text{for some integer } n \] The total angle moved after \(n\) circles is: \[ \text{Total angle} = 1 + 1 + 1 + \ldots + 1 = n \text{ radians} \] We need: \[ n = 2\pi \implies n \approx 6.28 \] Since \(n\) must be a natural number, we take \(n = 7\). ### Final Answer: Thus, the particle crosses the positive direction of the X-axis for the first time on the circle \(C_7\). **Answer**: \(n = 7\)
