Test: Progression (AP And GP)- 3 - Question 1
Save

A group of friends have some money which was in an increasing GP. The total money with the first and the last friend was Rs 66 and the product of the money that the second friend had and that the last but one friend had was Rs 128. If the total money with all of them together was Rs 126, then how many friends were there?

Detailed Solution for Test: Progression (AP And GP)- 3 - Question 1

The sum of money with the first and the last friend = 66. This can be used as a hint. Let us assume the first friend was having Rs 2 and the last friend was having Rs 64. So, the money can be in the sequence 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64. It satisfies the given conditions. Alternatively, this can be done by using the formula for tn of GP also.

 If the roots of x3 - 12x2 + 39x - 28 = 0 are in an AP then their common difference is
Detailed Solution for Test: Progression (AP And GP)- 3 - Question 4

Factorize the equation and we get ( x - 1 ) ( x - 4 ) ( x - 7 )
Explanation:

Given Equation: x³ - 12x² + 39x - 28 = 0

Roots in an AP:
Let the roots of the equation be a - d, a, a + d, where d is the common difference.

Sum of roots: = -b/a
Sum of roots = a - d + a + a + d = 3a

From the equation, we know that sum of roots = -(-12) = 12

Therefore, 3a = 12
a = 4

Product of roots: = -d/a
Product of roots = (a - d)(a)(a + d) = 4(a2 - d2) = 28

Substitute a = 4 in the equation:
42 - d² = 7
16 - d² = 7
d² = 9
d = ±3


Therefore, the correct answer is C: ±3.

If the nth term of AP is m and the nth term of the same AP is m, then (m + n)th term of AP is
Detailed Solution for Test: Progression (AP And GP)- 3 - Question 5
  • Tn = m = a + (n - l ) d
  • Tm = n= a + (m - l ) d
  • subtracting them we get d=-1
  • and a=m+n-1
  • Add the two and solve through the options given.
  • then (m + n)th term of AP= a+(m+n-1)d
  • Putting values of a and d in the solution, we get
  •                                         =  m+n-1+(m+n-1)x-1
  •                                         = 0

There are three numbers in arithmetic progression. If the two larger numbers are both increased by one, then the resulting numbers are prime. The product of these two primes and the smallest of the original numbers is 598. Find the sum of the three numbers.
Detailed Solution for Test: Progression (AP And GP)- 3 - Question 8

Let three numbers are 2,12,22
Two larger numbers are increased by 1 : 13,23
New three numbers : 2,13,23
Product of these numbers is equal to 598.
=> 2*13*23 = 598
Sum of the three numbers = 2+13+23 
= 36
