The correct Answer is:
To solve the given problems step by step, we will break down each part of the question. ### Part (i) **Given:** The sum of n terms of two arithmetic series is in the ratio \(\frac{7n + 1}{4n + 27}\). **To Find:** The ratio of their 11th terms. 1. **Formula for Sum of n Terms:** The sum of the first n terms \(S_n\) of an arithmetic series can be expressed as: \[ S_n = \frac{n}{2} \times (2a + (n-1)d) \] where \(a\) is the first term and \(d\) is the common difference. 2. **Let \(S_n\) for the first series be \(S_n\) and for the second series be \(S'_n\):** \[ \frac{S_n}{S'_n} = \frac{7n + 1}{4n + 27} \] 3. **Substituting the formula for \(S_n\):** \[ \frac{\frac{n}{2} \times (2a + (n-1)d)}{\frac{n}{2} \times (2a' + (n-1)d')} = \frac{7n + 1}{4n + 27} \] The \(\frac{n}{2}\) cancels out: \[ \frac{2a + (n-1)d}{2a' + (n-1)d'} = \frac{7n + 1}{4n + 27} \] 4. **Finding the 11th term:** The 11th term \(a_{11}\) of the first series is: \[ a_{11} = a + 10d \] The 11th term \(a'_{11}\) of the second series is: \[ a'_{11} = a' + 10d' \] 5. **Set up the equation for the 11th term ratio:** We need to find: \[ \frac{a_{11}}{a'_{11}} = \frac{a + 10d}{a' + 10d'} \] 6. **Equate coefficients:** From the previous equation, we can compare coefficients of \(n\) and the constant terms: - Coefficient of \(n\): \(d\) and \(d'\) must satisfy the ratio derived from the sum equation. - Set \(n - 1 = 10\) to find \(n = 21\). 7. **Substituting \(n = 21\) into the ratio:** \[ \frac{2a + 20d}{2a' + 20d'} = \frac{7(21) + 1}{4(21) + 27} = \frac{148}{111} \] 8. **Final ratio of 11th terms:** Thus, the ratio of the 11th terms: \[ \frac{a_{11}}{a'_{11}} = \frac{148}{111} \] ### Part (ii) **Given:** The sum of n terms of two arithmetic progressions is in the ratio \((3n + 8):(7n + 15)\). **To Find:** The ratio of their 12th terms. 1. **Using the same formula for the sum of n terms:** \[ \frac{S_n}{S'_n} = \frac{3n + 8}{7n + 15} \] 2. **Substituting the formula for \(S_n\):** \[ \frac{\frac{n}{2} \times (2a + (n-1)d)}{\frac{n}{2} \times (2a' + (n-1)d')} = \frac{3n + 8}{7n + 15} \] Again, the \(\frac{n}{2}\) cancels out: \[ \frac{2a + (n-1)d}{2a' + (n-1)d'} = \frac{3n + 8}{7n + 15} \] 3. **Finding the 12th term:** The 12th term \(a_{12}\) of the first series is: \[ a_{12} = a + 11d \] The 12th term \(a'_{12}\) of the second series is: \[ a'_{12} = a' + 11d' \] 4. **Set up the equation for the 12th term ratio:** We need to find: \[ \frac{a_{12}}{a'_{12}} = \frac{a + 11d}{a' + 11d'} \] 5. **Equate coefficients:** From the previous equation, we can compare coefficients of \(n\) and the constant terms: - Coefficient of \(n\): \(d\) and \(d'\) must satisfy the ratio derived from the sum equation. - Set \(n - 1 = 11\) to find \(n = 23\). 6. **Substituting \(n = 23\) into the ratio:** \[ \frac{2a + 22d}{2a' + 22d'} = \frac{3(23) + 8}{7(23) + 15} = \frac{77}{164} \] 7. **Final ratio of 12th terms:** Thus, the ratio of the 12th terms: \[ \frac{a_{12}}{a'_{12}} = \frac{77}{164} \]
