1)  

 Find the common difference and 12th term of the A.P ,108, 106, 104,102.... .

Difference = Answer: -2

12th term Answer: 86


SOLUTION 1 :

 Given A.P. is 108,106,104,102....

Here a = 108

d = 106 - 108

d = -2

tn = a + (n-1)d

For 12th term put n = 12

t12 = 108 + (12-1)-2

       = 108 + (11x -2) 

      = 108-22 = 86

Common difference d = -2

12th term t12 = 86

 



2)  

 Find the common difference and 16th term of the A.P ,134, 129, 124,119.... .

Difference = Answer: -5

16th term Answer: 59


SOLUTION 1 :

 Given A.P. is 134,129,124,119....

Here a = 134

d = 129 - 134

d = -5

tn = a + (n-1)d

For 16th term put n = 16

t16 = 134 + (16-1)-5

       = 134 + (15x -5) 

      = 134-75 = 59

Common difference d = -5

16th term t16 = 59

 



3)  

 Find the common difference and 16th term of the A.P ,108, 106, 104,102.... .

SOLUTION 1 :

 Given A.P. is 108,106,104,102....

Here a = 108

d = 106 - 108

d = -2

tn = a + (n-1)d

For 16th term put n = 16

t16 = 108 + (16-1)-2

       = 108 + (15x -2) 

      = 108-30 = 78

SOLUTION 1 :

 Given A.P. is 148,143,138,133....

Here a = 148

d = 143 - 148

d = -5

tn = a + (n-1)d

For 17th term put n = 17

t17 = 148 + (17-1)-5

       = 148 + (16x -5) 

      = 148-80 = 68

Common difference d = -5

17th term t17 = 68

 



6)  

 Find the common difference and 17th term of the A.P ,130, 128, 126,124.... .

SOLUTION 1 :

 Given A.P. is 130,128,126,124....

Here a = 130

d = 128 - 130

d = -2

tn = a + (n-1)d

For 17th term put n = 17

t17 = 130 + (17-1)-2

       = 130 + (16x -2) 

      = 130-32 = 98

Common difference d = -2

17th term t17 = 98

 



7)

SOLUTION 1 :

 Given A.P. is 129,124,119,114....

Here a = 129

d = 124 - 129

d = -5

tn = a + (n-1)d

For 12th term put n = 12

t12 = 129 + (12-1)-5

       = 129 + (11x -5) 

      = 129-55 = 74

Common difference d = -5

12th term t12 = 74

 



8)  

 Find the common difference and 19th term of the A.P ,146, 142, 138,134.... .

Difference = Answer: -4

d = -4

tn = a + (n-1)d

For 19th term put n = 19

t19 = 146 + (19-1)-4

       = 146 + (18x -4) 

      = 146-72 = 74

Common difference d = -4

19th term t19 = 74

Here a = 137

d = 135 - 137

d = -2

tn = a + (n-1)d

For 10th term put n = 10

t10 = 137 + (10-1)-2

       = 137 + (9x -2) 

      = 137-18 = 119
