Ques.31. Which term of the arithmetic progression 8, 14, 20, 26, ... will be 72 more than its 41st term.
Ans. 
In the given problem, let us first find the 41st term of the given A.P.
A.P. is 8, 14, 20, 26 …
Here,
First-term (a) = 8
Common difference of the A.P. (d) = 14 - 8 = 6
Now, as we know,
an = a + (n - 1)d
So, for 41st term (n = 41),
a41 = 8 + (41 - 1)(6)
= 8 + 40(6)
= 8 + 240
= 248
Let us take the term which is 72 more than the 41st term as an. So,
an = 72 + a41
= 72 + 248
= 320
Also, an = a + (n - 1)d
320 = 8 + (n - 1)6
320 = 8 + 6n - 6
320 = 2 + 6n
320 - 2 = 6n
Further simplifying, we get,
318 = 6n
n = 318/6
n = 53
Therefore, the 53rd term of the given A.P. is 72 more than the 41st term.

Ques.32. Find the term of the arithmetic progression 9, 12, 15, 18, ... which is 39 more than its 36th term.
Ans.
In the given problem, let us first find the 36st term of the given A.P.
A.P. is 9, 12, 15, 18 …
Here,
First term (a) = 9
Common difference of the A.P. (d) = 12 - 9 = 3
Now, as we know,
an = a + (n - 1)d
So, for 36th term (n = 36),
a36 = 9 + (36 - 1)(3)
= 9 + 35(3)
= 9 + 105
= 114
Let us take the term which is 39 more than the 36th term as an. So,
an = 39 + a36
= 39 + 114
= 153
Also, an = a + (n - 1)d
153 = 9 + (n - 1)3
153 = 9 + 3n + 3
153 = 6 + 3n
153 - 6 = 3n
Further simplifying, we get,
147 = 3n
n = 147/3
n = 49
Therefore, the 49th term of the given A.P. is 39 more than the 36th term.

Ques.33. Find the 8th term from the end of the A.P. 7, 10, 13, ..., 184.
Ans.
In the given problem, we need to find the 8th term from the end for the given A.P.
We have the A.P as 7, 10, 13 …184
Here, to find the 8th term from the end let us first find the total number of terms.
Let us take the total number of terms as n.
So,
First term (a) = 7
Last term (an) = 184
Common difference (d) = 10 - 7 = 3
Now, as we know,
an = a + (n - 1)d
So, for the last term,
184 = 7 + (n - 1)3
184 = 7 + 3n - 3
184 = 4 + 3n
184 - 4 = 3n
Further simplifying,
180 = 3n
n = 180/3
n = 60
So, the 8th term from the end means the 53rd term from the beginning.
So, for the 53rd term (n = 53)
a53 = 7 + (53 - 1)3
= 7 + (52)3
= 7 + 156
= 163
Therefore, the 8th term from the end of the given A.P. is 163.

Ques.34. Find the 10th term from the end of the A.P. 8, 10, 12, ..., 126.
Ans.
In the given problem, we need to find the 10th term from the end for the given A.P.
We have the A.P as 8, 10, 12 …126
Here, to find the 10th term from the end let us first find the total number of terms. Let us take the total number of terms as n.
So,
First-term (a) = 8
Last term (an) = 126
Common difference (d) = 10 - 8 = 2
Now, as we know,
an = a + (n - 1)d
So, for the last term,
126 = 8 + (n - 1)2
126 = 8 + 2n - 2
126 = 6 + 2n
126 - 6 = 2n
Further simplifying,
120 = 2n
n = 120/2
n = 60
So, the 10th term from the end means the 51st term from the beginning.
So, for the 51st term (n = 51)
a51 = 8 + (51 - 1)2
= 8 + (50)2
= 8 + 100
= 108
Therefore, the 10th term from the end of the given A.P. is 108.

Ques.35. The sum 4th and 8th terms of an A.P. is 24 and the sum of 6th and 10th terms is 44. Find the A.P.
Ans.
In the given problem, the sum of 4th and 8th term is 24 and the sum of 6th and 10th term is 44. We have to find the A.P
We can write this as,
a4 + a8 = 24 ...(1)
a6 + a10 = 44 ...(2)
We need to find the A.P
For the given A.P., let us take the first term as a and the common difference as d
As we know,
an = a + (n - 1)d
For 4th term (n = 4),
a4 = a + (4 - 1)d
= a + 3d
For 8th term (n = 8),
a8 = a + (8 - 1)d
= a + 7d
So, on substituting the above values in (1), we get,
(a + 3d)+(a + 7d) = 24
2a + 10d = 24 ...(3)
Also, for 6th term (n = 6),
a6 = a + (6 - 1)d
= a + 5d
For 10th term (n = 10),
a10 = a + (10 - 1)d
= a + 9d
So, on substituting the above values in (2), we get,
(a + 5d) + (a + 9d) = 44
2a + 14d = 44 ...(4)
Next we simplify (3) and (4). On subtracting (3) from (4), we get,
(2a + 14d)-(2a + 10d) = 44 - 24
2a + 14d - 2a - 10d = 20
4d = 20
d = 20/4
d = 5
Further, using the value of d in equation (3), we get,
a + 10(5) = 24
2a + 50 = 24
2a = 24 - 50
2a = -26
a = -13
So here, a = -13 and d = 5
Therefore, the A.P. is -13, -8, -3, 2, ... .

Ques.36. Which term of the A.P. 3, 15, 27, 39, ... will be 120 more than its 21st term?
Ans.
In the given problem, let us first find the 21st term of the given A.P.
A.P. is 3, 15, 27, 39 …
Here,
First-term (a) = 3
Common difference of the A.P. (d) = 15 - 3 = 12
Now, as we know,
an = a + (n - 1)d
So, for 21st term (n = 21),
a21 = 3 + (21 - 1)(12)
= 3 + 20(12)
= 3 + 240
= 243
Let us take the term which is 120 more than the 21st term as an. So,
an = 120 + a21
= 120 + 243
= 363
Also, an = a + (n - 1)d
363 = 3 +(n - 1)12
363 = 3 + 12n - 12
363 = 9 + 12n
363 + 9 =12n
Further simplifying, we get,
372 = 12n
n = 370/12
n = 31
Therefore, the 31st term of the given A.P. is 120 more than the 21st term.

Ques.37. The 17th term of an A.P. is 5 more than twice its 8th term. If the 11th term of the A.P. is 43. find the nth term.
Ans.
Let a be the first term and d be the common difference.
We know that, nth term = a= a + (n − 1)d
According to the question,
a17 = 5 + 2a8
⇒ a + (17 − 1)d =  5 + 2(a + (8 − 1)d)
⇒ a + 16d =  5 + 2a + 14d
⇒ 16d − 14d =  5 + 2a − a
⇒ 2d =  5 + a
⇒ a = 2d − 5 .... (1)
Also, a11 = 43
⇒ a + (11 − 1)d = 43
⇒ a + 10d = 43 ....(2)
On substituting the values of (1) in (2), we get
2d − 5 + 10d = 43
⇒ 12d = 5 + 43
⇒ 12d = 48
⇒ d = 4
⇒ a = 2 × 4 − 5     [From (1)]
⇒ a = 3
∴ a= a + (n − 1)d
= 3 + (n − 1)4
= 3 + 4n − 4
= 4n − 1
Thus, the nth term of the given A.P. is  4n − 1.

Ques.38. Find the number of all three-digit natural numbers which are divisible by 9.
Ans.
First three-digit number that is divisible by 9 is 108.
Next number is 108 + 9 = 117.
And the last three-digit number that is divisible by 9 is 999.
Thus, the progression will be 108, 117, .... , 999.
All are three digit numbers which are divisible by 9, and thus forms an A.P. having first term a 108 and the common difference as 9.
We know that, nth term = a= a + (n − 1)d
According to the question,
999 = 108 + (n − 1)9
⇒ 108 + 9n − 9 = 999
⇒ 99 + 9n = 999
⇒ 9n = 999 − 99
⇒ 9n = 900
n = 100
Thus, the number of all three digit natural numbers which are divisible by 9 is 100.

Ques.39. The 19th term of an A.P. is equal to three times its sixth term. If its 9th term is 19, find the A.P.
Ans.
Let a be the first term and d be the common difference.
We know that, nth term = a= a + (n − 1)d
According to the question,
a19 = 3a6
⇒ a + (19 − 1)d =  3(a + (6 − 1)d)
⇒ a + 18d =  3a + 15d
⇒ 18d − 15d =  3a − a
⇒ 3d = 2a
⇒ a = (3/2)d   .... (1)
Also, a9 = 19
⇒ a + (9 − 1)d = 19
⇒ a + 8d = 19   ....(2)
On substituting the values of (1) in (2), we get
(3/2)d + 8d = 19
⇒ 3d + 16d = 19 × 2
⇒ 19d = 38
⇒ d = 2
⇒ a = (3/2)×[From (1)]
⇒ a = 3
Thus, the A.P. is 3, 5, 7, 9, .... .

Ques.40. The 9th term of an A.P. is equal to 6 times its second term. If its 5th term is 22, find the A.P.
Ans.
Let a be the first term and d be the common difference.
We know that, nth term = a= a + (n − 1)d
According to the question,
a9 = 6a2
⇒ a + (9 − 1)d =  6(a + (2 − 1)d)
⇒ a + 8d =  6a + 6d
⇒ 8d − 6d =  6a − a
⇒ 2d = 5a
⇒ a = (2/5)d .... (1)
Also, a5 = 22
⇒ a + (5 − 1)d = 22
⇒ a + 4d = 22 ....(2)
On substituting the values of (1) in (2), we get
(2/5)d + 4d = 22
⇒ 2d + 20d = 22 × 5
⇒ 22d = 110
⇒ d = 5
⇒ a = (2/5)×[From (1)]
⇒ a = 2
Thus, the A.P. is 2, 7, 12, 17, .... .

1. How do you solve quadratic equations using the quadratic formula?
Ans. To solve a quadratic equation using the quadratic formula, first identify the coefficients of the equation (a, b, and c). Then, substitute these values into the quadratic formula: x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a. Calculate the discriminant (b² - 4ac) to determine the nature of the roots (real, imaginary, or equal). Finally, solve for 'x' by using the formula and simplifying the expression.
2. What are the different methods to solve quadratic equations?
Ans. There are several methods to solve quadratic equations, including factoring, completing the square, using the quadratic formula, graphing, and using the method of substitution. Each method has its advantages depending on the complexity of the equation and the ease of application.
3. How can you determine the number of solutions of a quadratic equation?
Ans. The number of solutions of a quadratic equation can be determined by calculating the discriminant using the formula b² - 4ac. If the discriminant is greater than zero, the equation has two distinct real solutions. If the discriminant is equal to zero, the equation has one real solution. If the discriminant is less than zero, the equation has two complex conjugate solutions.
4. Can a quadratic equation have no real solutions?
Ans. Yes, a quadratic equation can have no real solutions if the discriminant (b² - 4ac) is negative. In this case, the quadratic equation will have two complex conjugate solutions which are not real numbers.
5. How do you graph a quadratic equation to find its solutions?
Ans. To graph a quadratic equation and find its solutions, plot the equation as a parabola on a graph. The x-intercepts of the parabola represent the solutions of the quadratic equation. By analyzing the graph, you can determine whether the equation has real or imaginary solutions based on the x-intercepts.
