The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problems step by step, let's break them down into parts. ### Part (i) **Given:** 10 times the 10th term and 15 times the 15th term of an A.P. are equal. We need to find the 25th term of this A.P. **Step 1:** Write the expressions for the 10th and 15th terms of the A.P. The nth term of an A.P. is given by the formula: \[ A_n = A + (n-1)D \] Where \( A \) is the first term and \( D \) is the common difference. Thus, - The 10th term \( A_{10} = A + 9D \) - The 15th term \( A_{15} = A + 14D \) **Step 2:** Set up the equation based on the problem statement. According to the problem, \[ 10 \cdot A_{10} = 15 \cdot A_{15} \] Substituting the expressions we found: \[ 10(A + 9D) = 15(A + 14D) \] **Step 3:** Expand and simplify the equation. Expanding both sides: \[ 10A + 90D = 15A + 210D \] **Step 4:** Rearrange the equation to isolate terms involving \( A \) and \( D \). Bringing all terms involving \( A \) to one side and terms involving \( D \) to the other: \[ 10A - 15A = 210D - 90D \] This simplifies to: \[ -5A = 120D \] Thus, \[ A = -\frac{120D}{5} = -24D \] **Step 5:** Find the 25th term \( A_{25} \). Using the formula for the 25th term: \[ A_{25} = A + 24D \] Substituting \( A = -24D \): \[ A_{25} = -24D + 24D = 0 \] **Conclusion:** The 25th term of the A.P. is **0**. --- ### Part (ii) **Given:** 17 times the 17th term of an A.P. is equal to 18 times the 18th term. We need to find the 35th term of this A.P. **Step 1:** Write the expressions for the 17th and 18th terms of the A.P. Using the same formula: - The 17th term \( A_{17} = A + 16D \) - The 18th term \( A_{18} = A + 17D \) **Step 2:** Set up the equation based on the problem statement. According to the problem, \[ 17 \cdot A_{17} = 18 \cdot A_{18} \] Substituting the expressions we found: \[ 17(A + 16D) = 18(A + 17D) \] **Step 3:** Expand and simplify the equation. Expanding both sides: \[ 17A + 272D = 18A + 306D \] **Step 4:** Rearrange the equation to isolate terms involving \( A \) and \( D \). Bringing all terms involving \( A \) to one side and terms involving \( D \) to the other: \[ 17A - 18A = 306D - 272D \] This simplifies to: \[ -A = 34D \] Thus, \[ A = -34D \] **Step 5:** Find the 35th term \( A_{35} \). Using the formula for the 35th term: \[ A_{35} = A + 34D \] Substituting \( A = -34D \): \[ A_{35} = -34D + 34D = 0 \] **Conclusion:** The 35th term of the A.P. is **0**. ---

To solve the given problems step by step, let's break them down into parts. ### Part (i) **Given:** 10 times the 10th term and 15 times the 15th term of an A.P. are equal. We need to find the 25th term of this A.P. ...
