Answer
Correct option: B.
$96$
b
$\sum \limits_{ i =1}^{ n } a _{ i }=\frac{ n }{2}\left\{2 a _{1}+( n +1)\right\}=192$

$\Rightarrow 2 a _{1}+( n -1)=\frac{384}{ n } \ldots-(1)$

$\sum \limits_{ i =1}^{ n / 2} a _{2 i }=\frac{ n }{4}\left[2 a _{1}+2+\left(\frac{ n }{2}-1\right) 2\right]=120$

$2 a _{1}+ n =\frac{480}{ n } \cdots-(2)$

From equation ($2$) and ($1$)

$1=\frac{480}{ n }-\frac{384}{ n }$

$n =480-384=96$

$\sum x _{0}^{1}=\frac{3\left(1-\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\right)^{20}}{1 \frac{-1}{2}}=6\left(1-\frac{1}{2^{20}}\right)$

$=\sum_{ i =1}^{20}\left( x _{ i - i }\right)^{2}$

$=\sum_{ i =1}^{20}\left( x _{ i }\right)^{2}+( i )^{2}-2 x _{ i } i$

Now $=\sum_{i=1}^{20}\left(x_{i}\right)^{2}=\frac{9\left(1-\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)\right)^{20}}{1-\frac{1}{4}}=12\left(1-\frac{1}{2^{40}}\right)$

$\sum_{i=1}^{20} i^{2}=\frac{1}{6} \times 20 \times 21 \times 41=2870$

$\sum_{ i =1}^{20} x _{ i } i = s =3+2.3 \frac{1}{2}+3.3 \frac{1}{2^{2}}+4.3 \frac{1}{2^{3}}+\ldots \ldots AGP$

$=6\left(2-\frac{22}{2^{20}}\right)$

$\overline{ x }=\frac{12-\frac{12}{2^{40}}+2870-12\left(2-\frac{22}{2^{20}}\right)}{20}$

$\overline{ x }=\frac{2858}{20}+\left(\frac{-12}{2^{40}}+\frac{22}{2^{20}}\right) \times \frac{1}{20}$

$\left(2^{30 \times 61} 4^{\frac{ n ( n +1)}{2}}\right) \frac{1}{60+ n }=2^{\frac{225}{8}}$

$2^{1830+ n ^{2}+ n }=2^{\frac{(225)(60+ n )}{8}}$

$=8 n ^{2}-217 n +1140=0$

$a_{2}=1, a_{3}=3 a_{4}=6$

$a_{n}=\frac{n(n-1)}{2}$

$S=\sum\limits_{n=2}^{\infty} \frac{n(n-1)}{2\left(7^{n}\right)}$

$S=\frac{1}{7^{2}}+\frac{3}{7^{3}}+\frac{6}{7^{4}}+\frac{10}{7^{5}}+\frac{15}{7^{5}}+\ldots \ldots$

$6 \frac{S}{7}=\frac{1}{7^{2}}+\frac{2}{7^{3}}+\frac{3}{7^{4}}+\frac{4}{7^{5}}+\ldots$

$6 \frac{S}{7^{2}}=\frac{1}{7^{3}}+\frac{2}{7^{4}}+\frac{3}{7^{5}}+\ldots$

$6 \frac{S}{7} \cdot \frac{6}{7}=\frac{1}{7^{2}}+\frac{1}{7^{3}}+\ldots=\frac{1 / 7^{2}}{1-1 / 7}$

$6 \times 6 \frac{S}{7^{2}}=\frac{1}{7 \times 6}$

$\Rightarrow \sum\limits_{ n =2}^{\infty} \frac{ a _{ n +2}}{7^{ n +2}}=\frac{2}{7} \sum\limits_{ n =2}^{\infty} \frac{ a _{ n +1}}{7^{ n +1}}-\frac{1}{49} \sum\limits_{ n =2}^{\infty} \frac{ a _{ n }}{7^{ n }}+\sum\limits_{ n =2}^{\infty} \frac{1}{7^{ n +2}}$

Let $\sum\limits_{ n =2}^{\infty} \frac{ a _{ n }}{7^{ n }}= p$

$\Rightarrow\left( p -\frac{ a _{2}}{7^{2}}-\frac{ a _{3}}{7^{3}}\right)=\frac{2}{7}\left( p -\frac{ a _{2}}{7^{2}}\right)-\frac{1}{49} p +\frac{1 / 7^{4}}{1-\frac{1}{7}}$

$\because a _{2}=1, a _{3}=3$

$\Rightarrow p -\frac{1}{49}-\frac{3}{343}=\frac{2}{7} p -\frac{2}{7^{3}}-\frac{ p }{49}+\frac{1}{6.7^{3}}$

Correct option: B.
$528$
b
$a_{0}=0, a_{1}=0$

$a_{ n +2}=3 a_{ n +1}-2 a_{ n +1}: n \geq 0$

$a_{ n +2}-a_{ n +1}=2\left(a_{ n +1}- a _{ n }\right)+1$

$\begin{array}{ll} n =0 & a_{2}-a_{1}=2\left(a_{1}-a_{0}\right)+1 \\ n =1 & a_{3}-a_{2}=2\left(a_{2}-a_{1}\right)+1 \\ n =2 & a_{4}-a_{3}=2\left(a_{3}-a_{2}\right)+1 \\ n = n & a_{ n +2}-a_{ n +1}=2\left(a_{ n +1}-a_{ n }\right)+1\end{array}$

$\left(a_{ n +2}-a_{1}\right)-2\left(a_{ n +1}-a_{0}\right)-( n +1)=0$

$a_{ n +2}=2 a_{ n +1}+( n +1)$

$n \rightarrow n -2$

$a_{ n }-2 a_{ n -1}= n -1$

Now $a _{25} a _{23}-2 a _{25} a _{22}-2 a _{23} a _{24}+4 a _{22} a _{24}$

$=\left(a_{25}-2 a_{24}\right)\left(a_{23}-2 a_{22}\right)=(24)(22)=528$

If $\left| f \left( a _{ i }\right)\right|=500$ for all $i=1,2,3,4$, then the absolute difference between the roots of $f ( x )=0$ is.
  • $50$
  • B
    $60$
  • C
    $70$
  • D
    $80$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$50$
a
$f(x)=0 \Rightarrow(x-p)^{2}-q=0$

Roots are $p+\sqrt{q}, p-\sqrt{q}$ absolute difference between roots $2 \sqrt{q}$.

Now, $\left|f\left(a_{i}\right)\right|=500$

Let $a_{1}, a_{2}, a_{3}, a_{4} a_{r} a_{1} a+d, a+2 d, a+3 d$

$\left|f\left(a_{4}\right)\right|=500$

$\left|\left(a_{1}-p\right)^{2}-q\right|=500$

$\Rightarrow\left(a_{1}-p\right)^{2}-q=500$

$\Rightarrow \frac{9}{4} d^{2}-q=500$

$\text { and }\left|f\left(a_{1}\right)\right|^{2}=\left|f\left(a_{2}\right)\right|^{2}$

$\left(\left(a_{1}-p\right)^{2}-q\right)^{2}=\left(\left(a_{2}-p\right)^{2}-q\right)^{2}$

$\left(\left(a_{1}-p\right)^{2}-\left(a_{2}-p\right)^{2}\right)\left(\left(a_{1}-p\right)^{2}-q+\left(a_{2}-p\right)^{2}-q\right)=0$

$\Rightarrow \frac{9}{4} d^{2}-q+\frac{d^{2}}{4}-q=0$

$2 q=\frac{10 d^{2}}{4} \Rightarrow q=\frac{5 d^{2}}{4}$

$\Rightarrow d^{2}=\frac{4 q}{5}$

From equation $(1)$ $\frac{9}{4} \cdot \frac{4 \cdot q}{5}-q=500$

$\frac{4 q}{5}=500$

$\frac{4 q}{5}=500$

and $2 \sqrt{q}=2 \times \frac{50}{2}=50$

If $\tan \left(\frac{\pi}{9}\right), x, \tan \left(\frac{7 \pi}{18}\right)$ are in arithmetic progression and $\tan \left(\frac{\pi}{9}\right), y, \tan \left(\frac{5 \pi}{18}\right)$ are also in arithmetic progression, then $|x-2 y|$ is equal to:
  • $0$
  • B
    $3$
  • C
    $4$
  • D
    $1$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$0$
a
$x=\frac{1}{2}\left(\tan \frac{\pi}{9}+\tan \frac{7 \pi}{18}\right)$

and $2 y=\tan \frac{\pi}{9}+\tan \frac{5 \pi}{18}$

so, $x-2 y=\frac{1}{2}\left(\tan \frac{\pi}{9}+\tan \frac{7 \pi}{18}\right)$

$-\left(\tan \frac{\pi}{9}+\tan \frac{5 \pi}{18}\right)$

$\Rightarrow|x-2 y|=\left|\frac{\cot \frac{\pi}{9}-\tan \frac{\pi}{9}}{2}-\tan \frac{5 \pi}{18}\right|$

$=\left|\cot \frac{2 \pi}{9}-\cot \frac{2 \pi}{9}\right|=0$

$\left(\operatorname{as\,\,\,\,tan} \frac{5 \pi}{18}=\cot \frac{2 \pi}{9} ; \tan \frac{7 \pi}{18}=\cot \frac{\pi}{9}\right)$

Let $a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots \ldots, a_{21}$ be an $A.P.$ such that $\sum_{n=1}^{20} \frac{1}{a_{n} a_{n+1}}=\frac{4}{9}$. If the sum of this AP is $189,$ then  $a_{6} \mathrm{a}_{16}$ is equal to :
  • A
    $57$
  • $72$
  • C
    $48$
  • D
    $36$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$72$
b
$\sum_{n=1}^{20} \frac{1}{a_{n} a_{n+1}}=\sum_{n=1}^{20} \frac{1}{a_{n}\left(a_{n}+d\right)}$

$=\frac{1}{d} \sum_{n=1}^{20}\left(\frac{1}{a_{n}}-\frac{1}{a_{n}+d}\right)$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{d}\left(\frac{1}{a_{1}}-\frac{1}{a_{21}}\right)=\frac{4}{9} \text { (Given) }$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\mathrm{~d}}\left(\frac{\mathrm{a}_{21}-\mathrm{a}_{1}}{\mathrm{a}_{1} \mathrm{a}_{21}}\right)=\frac{4}{9}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\mathrm{~d}}\left(\frac{\mathrm{a}_{1}+20 \mathrm{~d}-\mathrm{a}_{1}}{\mathrm{a}_{1} \mathrm{a}_{2}}\right)=\frac{4}{9}$$\Rightarrow \mathrm{a}_{1} \mathrm{a}_{2}=45 \ldots (1)$

Now sum of first $21$ terms $=\frac{21}{2}\left(2 \mathrm{a}_{1}+20 \mathrm{~d}\right)=189$

$\Rightarrow a_{1}+10 d=9 \ldots (2)$

For equation $(1) \,\&\,(2)$ we get

$a_{1}=3\,\&\, d=\frac{3}{5}$

OR

$a_{1}=15\, \&\, d=-\frac{3}{5}$

$\mathrm{So}, a_{6} \cdot \mathrm{a}_{16}=\left(\mathrm{a}_{1}+5 \mathrm{~d}\right)\left(\mathrm{a}_{1}+15 \mathrm{~d}\right)$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{a}_{6} \mathrm{a}_{16}=72$

  • A
    $\frac{19}{21}$
  • B
    $\frac{100}{121}$
  • $\frac{21}{19}$
  • D
    $\frac{121}{100}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{21}{19}$
c
$\frac{\frac{10}{2}\left(2 \mathrm{a}_{1}+9 \mathrm{~d}\right)}{\frac{\mathrm{p}}{2}\left(2 \mathrm{a}_{1}+(\mathrm{p}-1) \mathrm{d}\right)}=\frac{100}{\mathrm{p}^{2}}$

$\left(2 \mathrm{a}_{1}+9 \mathrm{~d}\right) \mathrm{p}=10\left(2 \mathrm{a}_{1}+(\mathrm{p}-1) \mathrm{d}\right)$

$9 \mathrm{dp}=20 \mathrm{a}_{1}-2 \mathrm{pa}_{1}+10 \mathrm{~d}(\mathrm{p}-1)$

$9 \mathrm{p}=(20-2 \mathrm{p}) \frac{\mathrm{a}_{1}}{\mathrm{~d}}+10(\mathrm{p}-1)$

$\frac{\mathrm{a}_{1}}{\mathrm{~d}}=\frac{(10-\mathrm{p})}{2(10-\mathrm{p})}=\frac{1}{2}$

$\therefore \frac{\mathrm{a}_{11}}{\mathrm{a}_{10}}=\frac{\mathrm{a}_{1}+10 \mathrm{~d}}{\mathrm{a}_{1}+9 \mathrm{~d}}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}+10}{\frac{1}{2}+9}=\frac{21}{19}$

    $\frac{71}{256}$
  • B
    $\frac{69}{256}$
  • C
    $-\frac{69}{256}$
  • $-\frac{71}{256}$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$-\frac{71}{256}$
d
$\frac{a+2+a}{3}=\frac{10}{3}$

$a=4$

and $\frac{c+b+b}{3}=\frac{7}{3}$

$c+2 b=7$

also $2 b=a+c$

$2 b-a+2 b=7$

$b=\frac{11}{4}$

now $4 x ^{2}+\frac{11}{4} x +1=0 (0=\alpha \,And \, \beta)$

$\alpha^{2}+\beta^{2}-\alpha \beta=(\alpha+\beta)^{2}-3 \alpha \beta$

$=\left(\frac{-11}{16}\right)^{2}-3\left(\frac{1}{4}\right)$

$=\frac{121}{256}-\frac{3}{4}=\frac{-71}{256}$

$S_{2 n}=\frac{2 n}{2}[2 a+(2 n-1) d], S_{4 n}=\frac{4 n}{2}[2 a+(4 n-1)d]$

$\Rightarrow S _{2}- S _{1}=\frac{4 n }{2}[2 a +(4 n -1) d ]-\frac{2 n }{2}[2 a +(2 n -1)d]$

$=4 a n+(4 n-1) 2 n d-2 n a-(2 n-1) d n$

$=2 n a+n d[8 n-2-2 n+1]$

$\Rightarrow 2 n a+n d[6 n-1]=1000$

$2 a+(6 n-1) d=\frac{1000}{n}$

Now, $S_{6 n}=\frac{6 n}{2}[2 a+(6 n-1) d]$

$=3 n \cdot \frac{1000}{ n }=3000$

Correct option: D.
$3$
d
Let number are $a , ar , ar ^{2}, ar ^{3}$

$a \frac{\left(r^{4}-1\right)}{r-1}=\frac{65}{12}......(1)$

$\frac{1}{a} \frac{\left(\frac{1}{r^{4}}-1\right)}{\frac{1}{r}-1}=\frac{65}{18}$

$\frac{1}{a r^{3}}\left(\frac{1-r^{3}}{1-r}\right)=\frac{65}{18}......(2)$

$\frac{(1)}{(2)} \Rightarrow a ^{2} r ^{3}=\frac{3}{2}$

and $\quad a^{3} \cdot r^{3}=1$

$ar =1$

$(\operatorname{ar})^{2} \cdot r =\frac{3}{2}$

$r=\frac{3}{2}, a=\frac{2}{3}$

So, third term $=\operatorname{ar}^{2}=\frac{2}{3} \times \frac{9}{4}$

$\alpha=\frac{3}{2}$

$2 \alpha=3$
