Question 11 Mark

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

Answer

Here, a₅ = 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 21 Mark

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

Answer

(p + q)^th term = ar^p+q-1 = m
(p - q)^th term = ar^p-q-1 = n
mn = a²r^3p-2
$\sqrt{\text{mn}}=\text{ar}^{\text{p}-1}$
= p^th term

Question 31 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:
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\log_\text{a}(\log_\text{b}\text{a})$

Question 41 Mark

Write the quadration the arithmetic and geometric means of whose roots are A and G respectively.

Answer

Let $\alpha,\beta, $ be roots of equation, so equation is
$\text{x}^2-(\alpha+\beta)\text{x}+\alpha\beta=0$
Here,
$\frac{\alpha+\beta}{2}=\text{A}$
$\alpha+\beta=2\text{A}$
And $\sqrt{\alpha\beta}=\text{G}$
$\alpha\beta=\text{G}^2$
So, Required equation is,
$\text{x}^2-2\text{Ax}+\text{G}^2=0$

Question 51 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

a₂, a₃, a₆ 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 61 Mark

If A₁, A₂ be two AM's and G₁, G₂ 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, A₁, A₂, b are in A.P.
A₁ - a = A₂ - A₁ = b - A₂ ____(1)
And a, G₁, G₂, 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 71 Mark

If p^th, q^th and rth terms of a G.P. are x, y, z respectively, then write the value of x^q-r y^r-p z^p-q.

Answer

$\text{a}_\text{p}=\text{x}=\text{ar}^{\text{p}-1}\cdots(\text{i})$
$\text{a}_\text{q}=\text{y}=\text{ar}^{\text{q}-1}\cdots(\text{ii})$
$\text{a}_\text{r}=\text{z}=\text{ar}^{\text{r}-1}\cdots(\text{iii})$
$\text{x}^{\text{q}-\text{r}}\text{y}^{\text{r}-\text{p}}\text{z}^{\text{p}-\text{q}}$
$=\big[\text{ar}^{\text{p}-1}\big]\big[\text{ar}^{\text{q}-1}\big]^{\text{r}-\text{p}}\big[\text{ar}^{\text{r}-1}\big]^{\text{p}-\text{q}}$
$=\text{a}^{\text{q}-\text{r}+\text{r}-\text{p}+\text{q}}\text{ r}^{\text{pq}-\text{pr}-\text{q}+\text{r}+\text{qr}-\text{r}+\text{p}+\text{rp}-\text{qr}-\text{p}+\text{q}}$
$=\text{a}^0\text{r}^0$
$=1$
$\text{x}^{\text{q}-\text{r}}\times\text{y}^{\text{r}-\text{p}}\times\text{z}^{\text{p}-\text{q}}=1$

Question 81 Mark

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 91 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, ar²
$\text{S}'_\infty=\frac{\text{a}}{1-\text{r}}$
$3=\frac{\text{a}}{1-\text{r}}\cdots(\text{i})$
Square of terms
a², a²r², a²r⁴, ...
$\text{S}"_\infty=\frac{\text{a}^2}{1-\text{r}^2}$
$\frac92=\frac{\text{a}^2}{1-\text{r}^2}\cdots(\text{ii})$
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),
$3=\frac{\text{a}}{1-\frac13}$
$\text{a}=3\times\frac23$
$\text{a}=2$
$\text{r}=\frac13$

Question 101 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

$\text{a} = 1 + \text{b} + \text{b}_2 + \text{b}_3 + ...\text{to }\infty,$

$\text{a}=\frac{1}{1-\text{b}}$ $\Big[\text{Since},\text{S}_\infty=\frac{\text{a}}{1-\text{r}}\Big]$

$\text{a}(1-\text{b})=1$

$\text{a}-\text{ab}=1$

$\text{ab}=\text{a}-1$

$\text{b}=\frac{\text{a}-1}{\text{a}}$
