Question 11 Mark

If $A_1, A_2$ be two AM's and $G_1, G_2$ be two GM's between a and b, then find the value of $\frac{\text{A}_1+\text{A}_2}{\text{G}_1\text{G}_2}.$

Answer

a,$ A_1, A_2$, b are in A.P. $A_1 - a = A_2 - A_1 = b - A_2$ ____(1) And a, $G_1, G_2$, b are in G.P. $\text{G}_1=\sqrt{\text{a}\text{G}_2},\text{G}_2=\sqrt{\text{G}_1\text{b}}$ $\Rightarrow\text{G}_1\text{G}_2=\sqrt{\text{ab}\text{G}_1\text{G}_2}$
$\Rightarrow\sqrt{\text{G}_1\text{G}_2}=\sqrt{\text{ab}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{G}_1\text{G}_2=\text{ab}\cdots(2)$ From equation (1), $2\text{A}_1 = \text{A}_2 + \text{a}$ $2\text{A}_2 = \text{A}_1 + \text{b}$ Adding these two, $2(\text{A}_1+\text{A}_2)=(\text{A}_1+\text{A}_2)+\text{a}+\text{b}$ $\text{A}_1+\text{A}_2=\text{a}+\text{b}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{A}_1+\text{A}_2}{\text{G}_1\text{G}_2}=\frac{\text{a}+\text{b}}{\text{ab}}$

Question 21 Mark

If $\text{a} = 1 + \text{b} + \text{b}_2 + \text{b}_3 + ...\text{to }\infty,$ then write b in terms of a given that |b|<1.

Answer

$\text{a} = 1 + \text{b} + \text{b}_2 + \text{b}_3 + ...\text{to }\infty,$$\text{a}=\frac{1}{1-\text{b}}$ $\Big[\text{Since},\text{S}_\infty=\frac{\text{a}}{1-\text{r}}\Big]$
$\text{a}(1-\text{b})=1$
$\text{a}-\text{ab}=1$
$\text{ab}=\text{a}-1$
$\text{b}=\frac{\text{a}-1}{\text{a}}$

Question 31 Mark

If second, third and sixth term of an A.P. are consecutive terms of a G.P., write the common ratio of G.P.

Answer

$a_2, a_3, a_6$ of A.P. are in G.P. $\text{a}_2 = \text{a} + \text{d}\cdots(\text{i})$ $\text{a}_3=\text{a}+2\text{d}\cdots(\text{ii})$ $\text{a}_6=\text{a}+5\text{d}\cdots(\text{iii})$ $\frac{\text{a}_3}{\text{a}_2}=\frac{\text{a}_6}{\text{a}_3}$ $\frac{\text{a}+2\text{d}}{\text{a}+\text{d}}=\frac{\text{a}+5\text{d}}{\text{a}+2\text{d}}$ $\text{a}^2+4\text{d}^2+4\text{ad}=\text{a}^2+5\text{ad}+\text{ad}+5\text{d}^2$ $4\text{d}^2-5\text{d}^2=6\text{ad}-4\text{ad}$ $-\text{d}^2=2\text{ad}$ $-\text{d}=2\text{a}$ $2\text{a}=-\text{d}$ $\text{a}_2=-\frac{\text{d}}{2}+\text{d}=\frac{\text{d}}{2}$ $\text{a}_3=-\frac{\text{d}}{2}+2\text{d}=\frac{3\text{d}}{2}$ $\text{a}_{62}=-\frac{\text{d}}{2}+5\text{d}=\frac{9\text{d}}{2}$ $\text{r}=\frac{\text{a}_3}{\text{a}_2}=\frac{\text{a}_6}{\text{a}_3}$ $=\frac{\frac{3\text{d}}{2}}{\frac{\text{d}}{2}}=\frac{\frac{9\text{d}}{2}}{\frac{3\text{d}}{2}}$ $\text{r}=3$

Question 41 Mark

If the fifth term of a G.P. is 2, then write the product of its 9 terms.

Answer

Here, $a_5 = 2$ Nine terms of a G.P. are, $\frac{\text{a}}{\text{r}^4}\times\frac{\text{a}}{\text{r}^3}\times\frac{\text{a}}{\text{r}^2}\times\frac{\text{a}}{\text{r}}\times\text{a}\times\text{ar}\times\text{ar}^2\times\text{ar}^3\times\text{ar}^4$ $=(\text{a})^9$ $=(2)^9$ $=512$

Question 51 Mark

If $(p+q)^{\text {th }}$ and $(p-q)^{\text {th }}$ terms of a G.P. are $m$ and respectively, then write its pth term.

Answer

$(p+q)^{\text {th }}$ term $=a r^{p+q-1}=m(p-q)^{\text {th }}$ term $=a r^{p-q-1}=n m n=a^2 r^{3 p-2} \sqrt{m n}=a r^{p-1}=p^{\text {th }}$ term

Question 61 Mark

If $\log_\text{x}\text{a},\text{a}^{\frac{\text{x}}{2}}$ and (p - q)th are in G.P., then write the value of x.

Answer

$\log_\text{x}\text{a},\text{a}^{\frac{\text{x}}{2}}$ and $\log_\text{b}\text{x}$ are in G.P. $\therefore\Big(\text{a}^{\frac{\text{x}}{2}}\Big)^2=\log_\text{x}\text{a}\times\log_\text{b}\text{x}$ $\Rightarrow\text{a}^\text{x}=\frac{\log_\text{b}\text{a}}{\log_\text{b}\text{x}}\times\log_\text{b}\text{x}$ $\Rightarrow\text{a}^\text{x}=\log_\text{b}\text{a}$ Now, by taking $\log_\text{a}$ on both the sides: $\Rightarrow\text{x}=\log_\text{a}(\log_\text{b}\text{a})$

Write the product of n geometric means between two number a and b.

Answer

Let $\text{x}_1, \text{x}_2, \text{x}_3 \dots\text{x}_\text{n}$ be n G.M. between a and b then $\text{a},\text{x}_1, \text{x}_2, \text{x}_3\dots \text{x}_\text{n},\text{b}$ $\text{b}=\text{a}_{\text{x}+2}=\text{ar}^{\text{n}+1}$ $\text{r}=\Big(\frac{\text{b}}{\text{a}}\Big)^{\frac{1}{\text{n}+1}}\cdots(1)$ $\text{x}_1=\text{a}_2=\text{ar}$ $\text{x}_2=\text{a}_3=\text{ar}^2$ $\text{x}_\text{n}=\text{a}_{\text{n}+1}=\text{ar}^{\text{n}}$ Product of n GM $=\text{x}_1,\text{x}_2\dots\text{x}_\text{n}$ $=(\text{ar})\big(\text{ar}^2\big)\dots\big(\text{ar}^\text{n}\big)$ $=\text{a}^{\text{n}}\text{r}^{1+2+\dots+\text{n}}$ $=\text{a}^\text{n}\text{r}\frac{\text{n}(\text{n}+1)}{2}$ $=\text{a}^\text{n}\Big(\frac{\text{b}}{\text{a}}\Big)^{\frac{\text{n}}{2}}$ [Using equation (1)] $=\text{a}^{\text{n}}\frac{\text{b}^{\frac{\text{n}}{2}}}{\text{a}^{\frac{\text{n}}{2}}}$ $=\text{a}^{\frac{\text{n}}{2}}\text{b}^{\frac{\text{n}}{2}}$ $=(\text{ab})^{\frac{\text{n}}{2}}$

Question 81 Mark

If sum of an infinite decreasing G.P. is $3$ and the sum of the squares its term is $\frac{9}{2},$ then write its first term and common differance.

Answer

Let G.P. be $a, ar, ar^2 \text{S}'_\infty=\frac{\text{a}}{1-\text{r}}$
$3=\frac{\text{a}}{1-\text{r}}\cdots(\text{i})$ Square of terms $a^2, a^2r^2, a^2r^4$, ... $\text{S}"_\infty=\frac{\text{a}^2}{1-\text{r}^2}$
$\frac92=\frac{\text{a}^2}{1-\text{r}^2}\cdots(\text{ii})$ Using equation (i) and (ii), $\frac{9}{2\times3}=\frac{\text{a}^2}{1-\text{r}^2}\times\frac{1-\text{r}}{\text{a}}$
$\frac{3}{2}=\frac{\text{a}}{1+\text{r}}\cdots(\text{iii})$ Using equation (iii) and (ii), $\frac{3}{2\times3}=\frac{\text{a}}{1+\text{r}}\times\frac{1-\text{r}}{\text{a}}$
$\frac12=\frac{1-\text{r}}{1+\text{r}}$
$1+\text{r}=2-2\text{r}$
$3\text{r}=1$
$\text{r}=\frac{1}{3}$ From equation (i), $3=\frac{\text{a}}{1-\frac13}$
$\text{a}=3\times\frac23$
$\text{a}=2$
$\text{r}=\frac13$
