The correct Answer is:
To find the first six terms of an arithmetic progression (A.P.) where the first term \( a = 7 \frac{1}{2} \) and the common difference \( d = 1 \frac{1}{2} \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert Mixed Numbers to Improper Fractions First, we need to convert the mixed numbers into improper fractions for easier calculations. - For \( a = 7 \frac{1}{2} \): \[ a = 7 + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{14}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{15}{2} \] - For \( d = 1 \frac{1}{2} \): \[ d = 1 + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{2} + \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2} \] ### Step 2: Write the Formula for the n-th Term of A.P. The n-th term of an A.P. can be calculated using the formula: \[ T_n = a + (n - 1)d \] ### Step 3: Calculate the First Six Terms Now we will calculate the first six terms using the formula. 1. **First term \( T_1 \)**: \[ T_1 = a = \frac{15}{2} = 7 \frac{1}{2} \] 2. **Second term \( T_2 \)**: \[ T_2 = a + d = \frac{15}{2} + \frac{3}{2} = \frac{18}{2} = 9 \] 3. **Third term \( T_3 \)**: \[ T_3 = a + 2d = \frac{15}{2} + 2 \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{15}{2} + \frac{6}{2} = \frac{21}{2} = 10 \frac{1}{2} \] 4. **Fourth term \( T_4 \)**: \[ T_4 = a + 3d = \frac{15}{2} + 3 \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{15}{2} + \frac{9}{2} = \frac{24}{2} = 12 \] 5. **Fifth term \( T_5 \)**: \[ T_5 = a + 4d = \frac{15}{2} + 4 \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{15}{2} + \frac{12}{2} = \frac{27}{2} = 13 \frac{1}{2} \] 6. **Sixth term \( T_6 \)**: \[ T_6 = a + 5d = \frac{15}{2} + 5 \times \frac{3}{2} = \frac{15}{2} + \frac{15}{2} = \frac{30}{2} = 15 \] ### Step 4: List the First Six Terms The first six terms of the A.P. are: 1. \( 7 \frac{1}{2} \) 2. \( 9 \) 3. \( 10 \frac{1}{2} \) 4. \( 12 \) 5. \( 13 \frac{1}{2} \) 6. \( 15 \) ### Final Answer The first six terms of the A.P. are: - \( 7 \frac{1}{2}, 9, 10 \frac{1}{2}, 12, 13 \frac{1}{2}, 15 \)
