The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the outlined process: ### Step 1: Understand the given information The sum of the first \( q \) terms of an arithmetic progression (AP) is given by: \[ S_q = 63q - 3q^2 \] We need to find the \( p \)th term of the AP, which is given as \( -60 \), and also find the 11th term of the AP. ### Step 2: Find the \( q \)th term of the AP The \( q \)th term \( T_q \) can be found using the formula: \[ T_q = S_q - S_{q-1} \] First, we need to calculate \( S_{q-1} \): \[ S_{q-1} = 63(q-1) - 3(q-1)^2 \] Expanding this: \[ S_{q-1} = 63q - 63 - 3(q^2 - 2q + 1) = 63q - 63 - 3q^2 + 6q - 3 \] Combining like terms: \[ S_{q-1} = 63q + 6q - 3q^2 - 66 = (69q - 3q^2 - 66) \] Now, substituting \( S_q \) and \( S_{q-1} \) into the equation for \( T_q \): \[ T_q = (63q - 3q^2) - (69q - 3q^2 - 66) \] Simplifying this: \[ T_q = 63q - 3q^2 - 69q + 3q^2 + 66 \] The \( 3q^2 \) terms cancel out: \[ T_q = -6q + 66 \] ### Step 3: Set up the equation for the \( p \)th term We know that the \( p \)th term \( T_p \) is given as \( -60 \): \[ T_p = -6p + 66 = -60 \] ### Step 4: Solve for \( p \) Rearranging the equation: \[ -6p + 66 = -60 \] Subtracting 66 from both sides: \[ -6p = -60 - 66 \] \[ -6p = -126 \] Dividing by -6: \[ p = 21 \] ### Step 5: Find the 11th term of the AP Now, we need to find the 11th term \( T_{11} \): \[ T_{11} = -6(11) + 66 \] Calculating this: \[ T_{11} = -66 + 66 = 0 \] ### Final Answers The value of \( p \) is \( 21 \) and the 11th term of the AP is \( 0 \).
