The correct Answer is:
Let's solve the question step by step. ### Part (a) **Given:** - The 3rd term of an A.P. (Arithmetic Progression) is 13. - The 19th term of the A.P. is 77. **Let:** - The first term of the A.P. be \( A \). - The common difference be \( D \). **Using the formula for the nth term of an A.P.:** 1. The 3rd term can be expressed as: \[ A_3 = A + 2D = 13 \quad \text{(1)} \] 2. The 19th term can be expressed as: \[ A_{19} = A + 18D = 77 \quad \text{(2)} \] **Now, we have two equations:** - From equation (1): \[ A = 13 - 2D \quad \text{(3)} \] **Substituting equation (3) into equation (2):** \[ (13 - 2D) + 18D = 77 \] \[ 13 + 16D = 77 \] \[ 16D = 77 - 13 \] \[ 16D = 64 \] \[ D = 4 \] **Now substitute \( D \) back into equation (3) to find \( A \):** \[ A = 13 - 2(4) \] \[ A = 13 - 8 = 5 \] **Thus, the first term \( A \) is 5 and the common difference \( D \) is 4.** **Finding the A.P.:** The A.P. can be written as: \[ A, A+D, A+2D, \ldots \] Substituting the values: \[ 5, 5+4, 5+2(4), \ldots = 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, \ldots \] **The A.P. is:** \[ 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, \ldots \] ### Part (b) **Given:** - The 5th term of the A.P. is 56. - The 8th term of the A.P. is 95. **Let:** - The first term of the A.P. be \( A \). - The common difference be \( D \). **Using the formula for the nth term of an A.P.:** 1. The 5th term can be expressed as: \[ A_5 = A + 4D = 56 \quad \text{(4)} \] 2. The 8th term can be expressed as: \[ A_8 = A + 7D = 95 \quad \text{(5)} \] **Now, we have two equations:** - From equation (4): \[ A = 56 - 4D \quad \text{(6)} \] **Substituting equation (6) into equation (5):** \[ (56 - 4D) + 7D = 95 \] \[ 56 + 3D = 95 \] \[ 3D = 95 - 56 \] \[ 3D = 39 \] \[ D = 13 \] **Now substitute \( D \) back into equation (6) to find \( A \):** \[ A = 56 - 4(13) \] \[ A = 56 - 52 = 4 \] **Thus, the first term \( A \) is 4 and the common difference \( D \) is 13.** **Finding the 25th term:** The 25th term can be expressed as: \[ A_{25} = A + 24D \] Substituting the values: \[ A_{25} = 4 + 24(13) \] \[ A_{25} = 4 + 312 = 316 \] **The 25th term of this A.P. is:** \[ 316 \] ### Part (c) **Given:** - The pth term of an A.P. is \( q \). - The qth term of the A.P. is \( p \). **Using the formula for the nth term of an A.P.:** 1. The pth term can be expressed as: \[ A + (p-1)D = q \quad \text{(7)} \] 2. The qth term can be expressed as: \[ A + (q-1)D = p \quad \text{(8)} \] **From equation (7):** \[ A = q - (p-1)D \quad \text{(9)} \] **Substituting equation (9) into equation (8):** \[ (q - (p-1)D) + (q-1)D = p \] \[ q - (p-1)D + (q-1)D = p \] \[ q + qD - pD = p + D \] \[ q + qD - pD - p = D \] **Rearranging gives:** \[ D(q - p) = p - q \] **This implies:** \[ D = \frac{p - q}{q - p} = -1 \] **Substituting \( D \) back into equation (9) to find \( A \):** \[ A = q - (p-1)(-1) \] \[ A = q + p - 1 \] **Finding the (p + q)th term:** The (p + q)th term can be expressed as: \[ A + (p + q - 1)D \] Substituting the values: \[ = (q + p - 1) + (p + q - 1)(-1) \] \[ = (q + p - 1) - (p + q - 1) \] \[ = 0 \] **Thus, the (p + q)th term is:** \[ 0 \] ### Summary of Solutions - **Part (a):** The A.P. is \( 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, \ldots \) - **Part (b):** The 25th term is \( 316 \). - **Part (c):** The (p + q)th term is \( 0 \). ---
