1)  

 Find the common difference and 11th term of the A.P ,145, 142, 139,136.... .

Difference = Answer: -3

11th term Answer: 115


SOLUTION 1 :

 Given A.P. is 145,142,139,136....

Here a = 145

d = 142 - 145

d = -3

tn = a + (n-1)d

For 11th term put n = 11

t11 = 145 + (11-1)-3

       = 145 + (10x -3) 

      = 145-30 = 115

Common difference d = -3

11th term t11 = 115

 



2)  

 Find the common difference and 13th term of the A.P ,133, 129, 125,121.... .

Difference = Answer: -4

SOLUTION 1 :

 Given A.P. is 133,129,125,121....

Here a = 133

d = 129 - 133

d = -4

tn = a + (n-1)d

For 13th term put n = 13

t13 = 133 + (13-1)-4

       = 133 + (12x -4) 

      = 133-48 = 85

Common difference d = -4

13th term t13 = 85

 



3)  

 Find the common difference and 12th term of the A.P ,129, 125, 121,117.... .

Difference = Answer: -4

12th term Answer: 85


SOLUTION 1 :

 Given A.P. is 129,125,121,117....

Here a = 129

d = 125 - 129

d = -4

tn = a + (n-1)d

For 12th term put n = 12

t12 = 129 + (12-1)-4

       = 129 + (11x -4) 

      = 129-44 = 85

SOLUTION 1 :

 Given A.P. is 123,121,119,117....

Here a = 123

d = 121 - 123

d = -2

tn = a + (n-1)d

For 10th term put n = 10

t10 = 123 + (10-1)-2

       = 123 + (9x -2) 

      = 123-18 = 105

Common difference d = -2

10th term t10 = 105

 



6)  

 Find the common difference and 13th term of the A.P ,103, 101, 99,97.... .

Difference = Answer: -2

13th term Answer: 79


SOLUTION 1 :

 Given A.P. is 103,101,99,97....

Here a = 103

d = 101 - 103

d = -2

tn = a + (n-1)d

For 13th term put n = 13

t13 = 103 + (13-1)-2

       = 103 + (12x -2) 

      = 103-24 = 79

Common difference d = -2

13th term t13 = 79

 



7)  

 Find the common difference and 11th term of the A.P ,120, 116, 112,108.... .

SOLUTION 1 :

 Given A.P. is 120,116,112,108....

Here a = 120

d = 116 - 120

d = -4

tn = a + (n-1)d

For 11th term put n = 11

t11 = 120 + (11-1)-4

       = 120 + (10x -4) 

      = 120-40 = 80

Common difference d = -4

11th term t11 = 80

 



8)  

 Find the common difference and 15th term of the A.P ,147, 143, 139,135.... .

Difference = Answer: -4

Here a = 147

d = 143 - 147

d = -4

tn = a + (n-1)d

For 15th term put n = 15

t15 = 147 + (15-1)-4

       = 147 + (14x -4) 

      = 147-56 = 91

Common difference d = -4

15th term t15 = 91

Here a = 139

d = 135 - 139

d = -4

tn = a + (n-1)d

For 10th term put n = 10

t10 = 139 + (10-1)-4

       = 139 + (9x -4) 

      = 139-36 = 103
