Answer»

(i) x, 10, y, 24, 2 are in A. P.

Let d be common difference

\(\therefore\) x + d = 10-----(i)

x + 2d = y----(ii)

x + 3d = 24----(iii)

x + 4d = z---(iv)

Now, substract equation (i) from (iii), we get

(x + 3d) - (x + d) = 24 - 10

⇒ 2d = 14 ⇒ d = \(\frac{14}2\) = 7

\(\therefore\) x + 7 = 10 ⇒ x = 10 - 7 = 3 From(i)

\(\therefore\) y = x + 2d = 3 + 2 x 7 = 3 + 14 = 17 From(ii)

\(\therefore\)  z = x + 4d = 3 + 4 x 7 = 3 + 28 = 31 From (iv)

(ii) Given A.P. is 3, 6, 9, 12,.....111.

First term a = 3

\(\therefore\) common difference is d = a2 - a1 = 6 - 3 = 3

Let A.P. has n terms.

\(\therefore\) an = 111

⇒ a + (n - 1)d = 111 (\(\because\) an = a + (n - 1)d)

⇒ 3 + (n - 1)3 = 111

⇒ 3(n - 1) = 111 - 3 = 108

⇒ n - 1 = 108/3 = 36

⇒ n = 36 + 1 = 37

Hence, number of terms in A.P. is 37.
