The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to analyze the given conditions and derive the nature of the sequence. ### Step 1: Set Up the Equation We are given that: \[ \frac{x_1}{x_1 + 1} = \frac{x_2}{x_2 + 3} = \frac{x_3}{x_3 + 5} = \ldots = \frac{x_{1005}}{x_{1005} + 2009} \] Let this common value be \( k \). Thus, we can write: \[ \frac{x_n}{x_n + (2n - 1)} = k \quad \text{for } n = 1, 2, \ldots, 1005 \] ### Step 2: Express Each \( x_n \) in Terms of \( k \) From the equation: \[ x_n = k(x_n + (2n - 1)) \] Rearranging gives: \[ x_n - kx_n = k(2n - 1) \] \[ x_n(1 - k) = k(2n - 1) \] Thus, \[ x_n = \frac{k(2n - 1)}{1 - k} \] ### Step 3: Sum the Sequence Now, we need to find the sum: \[ x_1 + x_2 + \ldots + x_{1005} = 2010 \] Substituting the expression for \( x_n \): \[ \sum_{n=1}^{1005} x_n = \sum_{n=1}^{1005} \frac{k(2n - 1)}{1 - k} \] This can be simplified as: \[ \frac{k}{1 - k} \sum_{n=1}^{1005} (2n - 1) \] The sum \( \sum_{n=1}^{1005} (2n - 1) \) is the sum of the first 1005 odd numbers, which is: \[ 1005^2 \] Thus, \[ \sum_{n=1}^{1005} x_n = \frac{k}{1 - k} \cdot 1005^2 \] ### Step 4: Set Up the Equation for the Sum Setting this equal to 2010 gives: \[ \frac{k \cdot 1005^2}{1 - k} = 2010 \] Cross-multiplying yields: \[ k \cdot 1005^2 = 2010(1 - k) \] \[ k \cdot 1005^2 + 2010k = 2010 \] \[ k(1005^2 + 2010) = 2010 \] Thus, \[ k = \frac{2010}{1005^2 + 2010} \] ### Step 5: Analyze the Nature of the Sequence Now, substituting \( k \) back into the expression for \( x_n \): \[ x_n = \frac{\frac{2010}{1005^2 + 2010}(2n - 1)}{1 - \frac{2010}{1005^2 + 2010}} = \frac{2010(2n - 1)}{(1005^2 + 2010) - 2010} \] This simplifies to: \[ x_n = \frac{2010(2n - 1)}{1005^2} \] This shows that \( x_n \) is a linear function of \( n \), indicating that the sequence is an **Arithmetic Progression (AP)**. ### Conclusion The nature of the sequence \( x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_{1005} \) is that it forms an **Arithmetic Progression (AP)**.
