Question 2.
Write the first 6 terms of the sequences whose nth term an is given below.
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Binomial Theorem, Sequences and Series Ex 5.2 9
Solution:
a1 = 1 + 1 = 2 ; a2 = 2
a3 = 3 + 1 = 4 ; a4 = 4
a5 = 5 + 1 = 6 ; a6 = 6
So, the first 6 terms are 2, 2, 4, 4, 6, 6
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Binomial Theorem, Sequences and Series Ex 5.2 10
Solution:
a1 = 1 ; a2 = 2, a3 = 3
a4 = a3 + a2 + a1 = 3 + 2 + 1 = 6 ⇒ a4 = 6
a5 = a4 + a3 + a2 = 6 + 3 + 2 = 11 ⇒ a5 = 11
a6 = a5 + a4 + a3 = 11 + 6 + 3 = 20 ⇒ a6 = 20
So the first 6 terms are 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13.

Solution:
Nr: 1, 2, 3, ……tn = n
Dr: 2, 3, 4, …..tn = n + 1
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Binomial Theorem, Sequences and Series Ex 5.2 22
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Binomial Theorem, Sequences and Series Ex 5.2 23
Solution:
Nr: 1, 3, 5, 7, . . .which is an A.P. a = 1, d = 3 – 1 = 2
tn = a + (n – 1)d
tn = 1 + (n – 1)2 = 1 + 2n – 2 = 2n – 1.
Dr : 2, 4, 6, 8, . . .
So the nth term is 2 + (n – 1)2 = 2 + 2n – 2 = 2n.
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Binomial Theorem, Sequences and Series Ex 5.2 24
(iv) 6, 10, 4, 12, 2, 14, 0, 16, -2,….
Solution:
t1 = 6 ; t2 = 10
t3 = 4 ; t4 = 12
t5 = 2 ; t6 = 14
t7 = 0 ; t8 = 16
When n is odd, the sequence is 6, 4, 2, 0,…
(i.e.) a = 6 and d = 4 – 6 = -2.
So, tn = 6 + (n – 1)(-2) = 6 – 2n + 2 = 8 – 2n
When n is even, the sequence is 10, 12, 14, 16,…
Here a = 10 and d = 12 – 10 = 2
tn = 10 + (n – 1)2 = 10 + 2n – 2 = 2n + 8 (i.e.) 8 + 2n

Question 7.
If a, b, c are in geometric progression, and if \(a^{\frac{1}{x}}=b^{\frac{1}{y}}=c^{\frac{1}{z}}\), then prove that x, y, z are in arithmetic progression.
Solution:
Given a, b, c are in G.P.
⇒ b2 = ac
⇒ log b2 = log ac
(i.e.) 2log b = log a + log c …(1)
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Binomial Theorem, Sequences and Series Ex 5.2 31
Substituting these values in equation (1) we get 2y = x + z ⇒ x, y z are in A.P.

Question 8.
The AM of two numbers exceeds their GM by 10 and HM by 16. Find the numbers.
Solution:
Let the two numbers be a and b.
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Binomial Theorem, Sequences and Series Ex 5.2 32
So, (a + b – 20)2 = 4ab
(i.e.) (a + b)2 + 400 – 40(a + b) = 4ab
(a + b)2 – 4ab = 40(a + b) – 400
from(3) (a + b)2 – 4ab = 32(a + b)
⇒ 32(a + b) = 40(a + b) – 400
(÷ by 8) 4(a + b) = 5(a + b) – 50
4a + 4b = 5a + 5b – 50
a + b = 50
a = 50 – b
Substituting a = 50 – b in (3) we get
(50 – b – b)2 = 32(50)
(50 – 2b)2 = 32 × 50
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Binomial Theorem, Sequences and Series Ex 5.2 33
When b = 5, a = 50 – 5 = 45
When b = 45, a = 50 – 45 = 5
So the two numbers are 5 and 45.

Question 9.
If the roots of the equation (q – r)x2 + (r – p)x + p – q = 0 are equal, then show that p, q and r are in AP.
Solution:
The given quadratic equation is (q – r)x2 + (r – p)x + (p – q) = 0
Given that the roots of the equation are equal. ∴ The discriminant is equal to zero.
(r – p)2 – 4(q – r) (p – q) = 0
r2 – 2rp + p2 – 4 (pq – q2 – rp + qr) = 0
r2 – 2rp + p2 – 4pq + 4q2 + 4rp – 4qr = 0
r2 + p2 + 4q2 + rp – 4pq – 4rq = 0
r2 + p2 + (-2q)2 + 2r.p + 2p(-q) + 2(-2q)r = 0
(r + p – 2q)2 = 0
r + p – 2q = 0 ⇒ 2q = p + r
∴ p, q , r are in A. P.

Question 10.
If a, b, c are respectively the pth, qth and rth terms of a G.P., show that (q – r) log a + (r – p) log b + (p – q) log c = 0.
Solution:
Let the G.P. be l, lk, lk2,…
We are given tp = a, tq = b, tr = c
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Binomial Theorem, Sequences and Series Ex 5.2 50
LHS = (q – r) log a + (r – p) log b + (p – q) log c

Question 1.
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Binomial Theorem, Sequences and Series Ex 5.2 52
Solution:
Here a1 = 1
Substituting n = 2, we obtain a2 = a1 + 2 = 1 + 2 = 3
Substituting n = 3, 4 and 5, we obtain respectively
a3 = a2 + 2 = 3 + 2 = 5, a4 = a3 + 2 = 5 + 2 = 7
a5 = a4 + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9
Thus, the first five terms are 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9.

Question 3.
Write the first six terms of the sequences given by
(i) a1 = a2= 1 = an – 1 + an – 2 (n ≥ 3)
(ii) a1 = 4, an + 1 = 2nan
Solution:
(i) Here a1 = a2= 1 = an – 1 + an – 2 (n ≥ 3)
Putting n = 3, a3= a2 + a1 = 1 + 1 = 2
Putting n = 4, a4 = a3 + a2 = 2 + 1 = 3
Putting n = 5, a5 = a4 + a2 = 3 + 2 = 5
Putting n = 6, a6 = a5 + a4 = 5 + 3 = 8
∴ First six terms of the sequence are 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8

(ii) Here a1 = 4 and an + 1 = 2nan
Putting n = 1, a2 = 2 × 1 × a1 = 2 × 1 × 4 = 8
Putting n = 2, a3 = 2 × 2 × a2 = 4 × 8 = 32
Putting n = 3, a4 = 8 × 192 = 1536
Putting n = 4, a5 = 2 × 4 × a4 = 8 × 192 = 1536
Putting n = 5, a6 = 2 × 5 × a5 = 10 × 1536 = 15360

Question 4.
An A.P. consists of 21 terms. The sum of the three terms in the middle is 129 and of the last three is 237. Find the series.
Solution:
Let a1 be the first term and d, be a common difference.
Here n = 21.
∴ The three middle terms are a10,a11, a12
Now, a10 + a11 + a12 = 129 [Given]
∴ (a1 + 9d) + (a1 + 10d) + (a1 + 11d) = 129
⇒ 3a1 + 30d = 129 ⇒ a1 + 10d = 43 ……(i)
The last three terms are a19, a20, a21
a19, a20, a21 = 237 [Given]
∴ (a1 + 18d)+(a1 + 19d) + (a1 + 20d) = 237
(i.e.,) 3a1 + 57d = 237 ⇒ a1 + 19d = 79 … (2)
Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get 9d = 36, ⇒ d = 4
∴ From (i), a1 + 40 = 43 ⇒ a1 = 3
Hence, the series is 3, 7, 11, 15 …….

Question 5.
Prove that the product of the 2nd and 3rd terms of an arithmetic progression exceeds the product of the first and fourth by twice the square of the difference between the 1st and 2nd.
Solution:
Let ‘a’ be the first term and ‘d’ be the common difference of A.P.
Then, a1 = a, a2 = a + (2 – 1)d = a + d
a3 = a + (3 – 1)d = a + 2d, a4 = a + (4 – 1)d = a + 3d
We have to show that a2.a3 – a1.a4 = 2(a2 – a1)2
LHS = a2.a3 – a1.a4 = (a + d)(a + 2d) – a(a + 3d)
= a2 + 3ad + 2d2 – a2 – 3ad = 2d2
RHS = 2(a2 – a1)2 = 2d2
Since LHS = RHS.
Hence proved.

Question 6.
If the pth, qth and rth terms of an A.P. are a, b, c respectively, prove that a(q – r) + b (r – p) + c(p – q) = 0.
Solution:
Let A be the first term and D be the common difference of A.P.
ap = a, ∴ A + (p – 1)D = a ….. (1)
aq = b, ∴ A + (q – 1)D = b ……. (2)
ar = c, ∴ A + (r – 1)D = c …….. (3)
∴ a (q – r) + b (r – p) + c (p – q) = [A + (p – l) D] (q – r) + [A + (q – 1) D]
(r – p) + [A + (r – 1) D] (p – q) [Using (1), (2) and (3)]
= (q – r + r – p + p – q)A + [(p – l)(q – r) + (q – l)(r – p) + (r – l)(p – q)]D
= (0) A + (pq – pr – q + r + qr – pq – r + p + pr – p – qr + q)D
= (0)A + (0)D = 0.

Question 7.
If a, b, c are in A.P. and p is the A.M. between a and b and q is the A.M. between b and c, show that b is the A.M. between p and q.
Solution:
a, b, c are in A.P.
2b = a + c …… (1)
p is the A.M. between a and b

Question 8.
If x, y, z be respectively the pth, qth and rth terms of a G.P. show that xq – r, yr – p, zp – q = 1
Solution:
Let A be the first term and R be the common ratio of G.P.
ap = x ⇒ x = ARp – 1 ……… (1)
aq = y ⇒ x = ARq – 1 ……… (2)
ar = z ⇒ x = ARr – 1 ……… (3)
Raising (1), (2), (3) to the powers q – r, r – p, p – q respectively, we get

Multiplying (4), (5), and (6), we get
Samacheer Kalvi 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 5 Binomial Theorem, Sequences and Series Ex 5.2 65
Hence, xq – r, yr – p, zp – q = 1
