问题17。如果a,b,c,d在GP中,请证明(a n + b n ),(b n + c n ),(c n + d n )在GP中
解决方案:
We are given, a, b, c and d are in G.P.
Therefore, we have
b2 = ac … (1)
c2 = bd … (2)
ad = bc … (3)
We need to prove (an + bn), (bn + cn), (cn + dn) are in G.P. i.e.,
=> (bn+ cn)2 = (an + bn) (cn + dn)
Solving L.H.S., we get
= b2n + 2bncn + c2n
= (b2)n + 2bncn + (c2)n
= (ac)n + 2bncn + (bd)n [From (1) and (2)]
= ancn + bncn+ bncn + bndn
= ancn + bncn+ andn + bndn [From (3)]
= cn(an + bn) + dn(an + bn)
= (an + bn) (cn + dn)
= R.H.S.
Therefore, (an + bn), (bn + cn), and (cn + dn) are in G.P.
Hence, proved.
问题18。如果a和b是x 2 – 3x + p = 0的根,而c,d是x 2 – 12x + q = 0的根,那么a,b,c,d构成一个GP证明
(q + p):( q – p)= 17:15。
解决方案:
We are given that a, b, c, d are in G.P. Let’s suppose the common ratio is r.
So, b=ar, c=ar2 and d=ar3
Now a and b are the roots of x2 – 3x + p = 0.
Sum of roots = a + b = 3
=> a + ar = 3
=> a(1+r) = 3 ….. (1)
Product of roots = ab = p
=> a(ar) = p
=> a2r = p ….. (2)
And c, d are the roots of x2 − 12x + q = 0
Sum of roots = c + d = 12
=> ar2 + ar3 = 12
=> ar2(1+r) = 12 ….. (3)
Product of roots = cd = q
=> ar2(ar3) = q
=> a2r5 = q ….. (4)
Dividing equation (3) by (1),we get,
=> =
=> r2 = 4
=> r = ±2
When r=2, from (1), we get,
=> a(1+2) = 3
=> a = 1
Putting a=1 and r=2 in (2),
=> p = (1)2(2) = 2
From (4) we get,
q = (1)2(2)5 = 32
Now L.H.S. = = = =
= R.H.S.
When r=−2, from (1), we get,
=> a(1−2) = 3
=> a = −3
Putting a=−3 and r=−2 in (2),
p = (−3)2(−2) = −18
From (4) we get,
q = (−3)2(−2)5 = −288
Now L.H.S. = = = =
= R.H.S.
Hence, proved.

Squaring both sides, we get,

=> =
Hence, proved.
问题20:如果a,b,c在AP中; b,c,d在GP中,1 / c,1 / d,1 / e在AP中证明a,c,e在GP中
解决方案:
We are given that a, b, c are in A.P.
Hence, b – a = c – b ….. (1)
And, given that b, c, d are in G.P.
So, c2 = bd ….. (2)
Also, we know 1/c, 1/d, 1/e are in A.P. Therefore,
=> 1/d – 1/c = 1/e – 1/d
=> 2/d = 1/c + 1/e ….. (3)
We need to prove that a, c, e are in G.P.
From (1), we get
=> 2b = a + c
=> b = (a + c)/ 2
And from (2), we get
=> d =
On putting above values in (3), we get,
=> = 1/c + 1/e
=> = 1/c + 1/e
=> =
=> =
=> (a+c)e = (c+e)c
=> ae+ce = c2+ec
=> c2 = ae
Therefore, a, c, e are in G.P.

问题22。找到系列2×4 + 4×6 + 6×8 +…+ n项的第20个项。
解决方案:
We are given the series: 2 × 4 + 4 × 6 + 6 × 8 + … n terms
nth term = an = 2n × (2n + 2) = 4n2 + 4n
Putting n=20, we would get the 20th term,
a20 = 4(20)2 + 4(20) = 1600 + 80 = 1680
Therefore, the 20th term of the series is 1680.
问题23:找出该系列的前n个项的总和:3 + 7 + 13 + 21 + 31 +…
解决方案:
We are given the series: 3 + 7 + 13 + 21 + 31 + …
Let’s take S as the sum of this series. Therefore,
S = 3 + 7 + 13 + 21 + 31 + …+ an–1 + an ….. (1)
S = 3 + 7 + 13 + 21 + …. + an–2 + an–1 + an ….. (2)
On subtracting (2) from (1), we get
=> S – S = [3 + (7 + 13 + 21 + 31 + …+ an–1 + an)] – [(3 + 7 + 13 + 21 + 31 + …+ an–1) + an]
=> 0 = 3 + [(7 – 3) + (13 – 7) + (21 – 13) + … + (an – an–1)] – an
=> an = 3 + [4 + 6 + 8 + … (n–1) terms]
As these series 4 + 6 + 8 + … (n–1) terms is an A.P., we can easily find its sum. Therefore,
= 3+
= 3+
= 3+(n–1)(n+2)
= n2+n+1
Now we have to summate our nth term to find the sum(Sn) of this series.
Sn = + + n

Therefore, sum of the series is .

问题27.一位农民以12000卢比的价格购买了一辆二手拖拉机。他支付了6000卢比的现金,并同意按年支付500卢比的余额以及未付金额的12%的利息。拖拉机要给他多少钱?
解决方案:
We are given that the farmer pays Rs 6000 in cash.
So, the remaining unpaid amount = Rs 12000 – Rs 6000 = Rs 6000
According to the question, the total interest to be paid is,
Interest = 12% of 6000 + 12% of 5500 + 12% of 5000 + … + 12% of 500
= 12% of (6000 + 5500 + 5000 + … + 500)
Here the series 6000 + 5500 + 5000 + … + 500 is an A.P. with the first term a=6000 and common difference d=–500.
Let us take the number of terms of A.P. be n.
We know nth term of an A.P. is given by, an = a+(n–1)d
=> 500 = 6000+(n-1)(–500)
=> 5500 = 500n–500
=> n = 12
Now,
The sum of the A.P = [2(6000) + (12–1)(-500)]
= 6 [1200–5500] = 39000
Thus, the total interest to be paid = 12% of (6000 + 5500 + 5000 + … + 500)
= 12% of 39000 = Rs 4680
Therefore, the tractor will cost the farmer = (Rs 12000 + Rs 4680) = Rs 16680
问题28.沙姆沙德·阿里(Shamshad Ali)以22000卢比的价格购买了一辆小型摩托车,他支付了4000卢比的现金,并同意支付年度分期付款的余额1000卢比,外加10%的未付利息。滑板车要花多少钱?
解决方案:
We are given that Shamshad Ali buys a scooter for Rs 22000 and pays Rs 4000 in cash.
So, the remaining unpaid amount = Rs 22000 – Rs 4000 = Rs 18000
According to the question, the total interest to be paid,
Interest = 10% of 18000 + 10% of 17000 + 10% of 16000 + … + 10% of 1000
= 10% of (18000 + 17000 + 16000 + … + 1000)
Here, 18000, 17000, 16000 … 1000 forms an A.P. with first term a=18000 and common difference d=–1000.
Let’s take number of terms be n.
So, 1000 = 18000 + (n – 1) (–1000)
=> 17000 = 1000n–1000
=> n = 18
Now, the sum of the A.P. = [2(18000) + (18–1)(-1000)]
= 9 [36000–17000] = 9 [19000] = 171000
Thus, the total interest to be paid = 10% of (18000 + 17000 + 16000 + … + 1000)
= 10% of 171000 = Rs 17100
Thus, the cost of scooter = (Rs 22000 + Rs 17100) = Rs 39100
问题29.一个人给他的四个朋友写了一封信。他要求他们每个人都将信件复制并邮寄给四个不同的人,并指示他们以类似的方式移动链条。假设链条没有破裂,并且一封信的邮寄费用为50帕萨。找到邮寄第8套信件时在邮资上花费的金额。
解决方案:
The numbers of letters mailed forms a G.P. : 4, 42, … 48 where first term, a = 4 and common ratio, r = 4
And the number of terms, n = 8
The sum of n terms of a G.P. is given by, Sn =
=
= (65536–1) = 4(21845) = 87380
Now it’s given that the cost to mail one letter is 50 paisa.
Thus, Cost of mailing 87380 letters = Rs 87380 x (50/100) = Rs 43690
Therefore, the amount spent on the postage when 8th set of letter is mailed will be Rs 43690.
问题30.一名男子每年以5%的单利利率向银行存入10000卢比。自他存入款项后的第15年开始寻找金额,并计算20年后的总金额。
解决方案:
Given that the man deposited Rs 10000 in a bank at the rate of 5% simple interest annually.
Thus, the interest in first year = (5/100) x Rs 10000 = Rs 500
Now, Amount in 15th year = 10000 + (500+500+500+…14 times)
= Rs 10000 + 14 × Rs 500
= Rs 10000 + Rs 7000 = Rs 17000
Amount in 20th year = 10000 + (500+500+500+…20 times)
= Rs 10000 + 20 × Rs 500
= Rs 10000 + Rs 10000 = Rs 20000
Therefore, the amount in the 15th year is Rs 17000 and the total amount after 20 years will be Rs 20000.
问题31.一家制造商估计,一台价值15625卢比的机器的价值每年将贬值20%。找出5年末的估计值。
解决方案:
We are given the cost of machine is Rs 15625.
Also, given that the machine depreciates by 20% every year.
Therefore, its value after every year is 80% of the original cost i.e., 4/5th of the original cost.
So, the value at the end of 5 years = 15625 × = 5 × 1024 = 5120
Thus, the value of the machine at the end of 5 years will be Rs 5120.
问题32:有150名工人在一定天数内完成工作。第二天有4名工人辍学,第三天又有4名工人辍学,依此类推。完成工作又花了8天的时间。查找完成工作的天数。
解决方案:
Let us take x to be the number of days in which 150 workers finish the work.
According to the question, we have
150x = 150 + 146 + 142 + ….. (x + 8) terms
We know, 150, 146, 142, ….. (x + 8) terms is an A.P.
with first term (a) = 150,
Common difference (d) = –4 and number of terms (n) = (x + 8)
Now, we know sum of this series is equal to 150.
=> 150x = [2×150 + (x+8–1)×4]
=> 300x = (x+8)(300–4x–28)
=> 300x = 272x–4x2+2176–32x
=> 4x2+60x+–2176 = 0
=> x2+15x–544 = 0
=> x2+32x–17x-544 = 0
=> (x+32)(x–17) = 0
=> x = –32 or 17
Ignoring x = –32 as number of days is a positive quantity so, x = 17.
It took 8 more days to finish the work because workers were dropped out.
Hence, the number of days in which the work was completed is 17+8 = 25.
