Chapter 2 Numbers and Sequences Unit Ex 2

1. Prove that n² – n divisible by 2 for every positive integer n.
Answer Key:
We know that any positive integer is of the form 2q or 2q + 1 for some integer q.
Case 1: When n = 2 q
n² – n = (2q)² – 2q = 4q² – 2q
= 2q (2q – 1)
In n² – n = 2r
2r = 2q(2q – 1)
r = q(2q + 1)
n² – n is divisible by 2

 

Case 2: When n = 2q + 1
n² – n = (2q + 1)² – (2q + 1)
= 4q² + 1 + 4q – 2q – 1 = 4q² + 2q
= 2q (2q + 1)
If n² – n = 2r
r = q (2q + 1)
∴ n² – n is divisible by 2 for every positive integer “n”

 

2. A milk man has 175 litres of cow’s milk and 105 litres of buffalow’s milk. He wishes to sell the milk by filling the two types of milk in cans of equal capacity. Calculate the following
(i) Capacity of a can
(ii) Number of cans of cow’s milk
(iii) Number of cans of buffalow’s milk.
Answer Key:
175 litres of cow’s milk.
105 litres of goat’s milk.
H.C.F of 175 & 105 by using Euclid’s division algorithm.
175 = 105 × 1 + 70, the remainder 70 ≠ 0

105 = 70 × 1 + 35, the remainder 35 ≠ 0
Again using division algorithm.
70 = 35 × 2 + 0, the remainder is 0.
∴ 35 is the H.C.F of 175 & 105.
(i) ∴ The milk man’s milk can’s capacity is 35 litres.
(ii) No. of cow’s milk obtained = $\frac{175}{35}$= 5 cans
(iii) No. of buffalow’s milk obtained = $\frac{105}{35}$= 3 cans

 

3. When the positive integers a, b and c are divided by 13 the respective remainders are 9,7 and 10. Find the remainder when a + 2b + 3c is divided by 13.
Answer Key:
Given the positive integer are a, b and c
a = 13q + 9 (divided by 13 leaves remainder 9)
b = 13q + 7
c = 13q + 10
a + 2b + 3c = 13q + 9 + 2(13q + 7) + 3 (13q + 10)
= 13q + 9 + 26q + 14 + 39q + 30
= 78q + 53
When compare with a = 3q + r
= (13 × 6) q + 53 

The remainder is 53

 

4. Show that 107 is of the form 4q +3 for any integer q.
Answer Key:
107 = 4 × 26 + 3. This is of the form a = bq + r.
Hence it is proved.

 

5. If (m + 1)^th term of an A.P. is twice the (n + 1)^th term, then prove that (3m + 1)^th term is twice the (m + n + 1)^th term.
Answer Key:
t_n = a + (n – 1)d
Given t_m+1 = 2 t_n+1
a + (m + 1 – 1)d = 2[a + (n + 1 – 1)d]
a + md = 2(a + nd) ⇒ a + md =2a + 2nd
md – 2nd = a
d(m – 2n) = a ….(1)
To Prove t_{(3m + 1)} = 2(t_m+n+1)
L.H.S. = t_3m+1
= a + (3m + 1 – 1)d
= a + 3md
= d(m – 2n) + 3md (from 1)
= md – 2nd + 3md
= 4md – 2nd
= 2d (2m – n)
R.H.S. = 2(t_m+n+1)
= 2 [a + (m + n + 1 – 1) d]
= 2 [a + (m + n)d]
= 2 [d (m – 2n) + md + nd)] (from 1)
= 2 [dm – 2nd + md + nd]
= 2 [2 md – nd]
= 2d (2m – n)
R.H.S = L.H.S
∴ t_(3m+1) = 2 t_(m+n+1)
Hence it is proved.

 

6. Find the 12^th term from the last term of the A.P -2, -4, -6,… -100.
Answer Key:
The given A.P is -2, -4, -6, …. 100
d = -4 – (-2) = -4 + 2 = – 2
Finding the 12 term from the last term
a = -100, d = 2 (taking from the last term)
n = 12
t_n = a + (n – 1)d
t₁₂ = – 100 + 11 (2)
= -100 + 22
= -78
∴ The 12^th term of the A.P from the last term is – 78

 

7. Two A.P’s have the same common difference. The first term of one A.P is 2 and that of the other is 7. Show that the difference between their 10th terms is the same as the difference between their 21st terms, which is the same as the difference between any two corresponding terms.
Solution:
Let the two A.Ps be
AP₁ = a₁, a₁ + d, a₁ + 2d,…
AP₂ = a₂, a₂ + d, a₂ + 2d,…
In AP₁ we have a₁ = 2
In AP₂ we have a₂ = 7
t₁₀ in AP₁ = a₁ + 9d = 2 + 9d ………….. (1)
t₁₀ in AP₂ = a₂ + 9d = 7 + 9d …………… (2)
The difference between their 10th terms
= (1) – (2) = 2 + 9d – 7 – 9d
= -5 ………….. (I)
t₂₁ m AP₁ = a₁ + 20d = 2 + 20d …………. (3)
t₂₁ in AP₂ = a₂ + 20d = 7 + 20d ………… (4)
The difference between their 21 st terms is
(3) – (4)
= 2 + 20d – 7 – 20d
= -5 ……………. (II)
I = II
Hence it is Proved.

 

8. A man saved ₹16500 in ten years. In each year after the first he saved ₹100 more than he did in the preceding year. How much did he save in the first year?
Answer Key:
Amount of saving in ten years = ₹ 16500
S₁₀ = 16500, d= 100
S_n = $\frac{\mathrm{n}}{2}$[2a + (n – 1)d]
S₁₀ = $\frac{10}{2}$[2a + 9d]
16500 = $\frac{10}{2}$[2a + 900] = 5(2a + 900)
16500 = 10a + 4500 ⇒ 16500 – 4500 = 10a
12000 = 10a
a = $\frac{12000}{10}$= 1200
Amount saved in the first year = ₹ 1200

 

9. Find the G.P. in which the 2nd term is $\sqrt{6}$ and the 6th term is 9 $\sqrt{6}$
Answer Key:
2^nd term of the G.P = $\sqrt{6}$
t₂ = $\sqrt{6}$
[t_n = a r^n-1]
a.r = $\sqrt{6}$….(1)
6^th term of the G.P. = 9$\sqrt{6}$
a. r⁵ = 9$\sqrt{6}$ ……..(2)

10. The value of a motorcycle depreciates at a rate of 15% per year. What will be the value of the motorcycle 3 year hence, which is now purchased for ₹45,000?
Answer Key:
a = ₹45000
Depreciation = 15% for ₹45000
= 45000 ×$\frac{15}{100}$
d = ₹6750 since it is depreciation
d = -6750
At the end of 1^st year its value = ₹45000 – ₹6750
= ₹38250,
Again depreciation = 38250 × $\frac{15}{100}$= 5737.50
At the end of 2^nd year its value
= ₹38250 – ₹5737.50 = 32512.50
Again depreciation = 32512.50 ×$\frac{15}{100}$ = 4876.88
At the end of the 3^rd year its value
= 32512.50 – 4876.88 = 27635.63
∴ The value of the automobile at the 3^rd year
= ₹ 27636
