RS aggarwal class 11 Maths Arithmetic progressions

A manufacturer of TV sets produced 6000 units in the third year and 7000 units in the seventh year. Assuming that the production increases uniformly by a fixed number every year, find the production (i) in the first year, (ii) in the 10th year, (iii) in 7 years.

Hint: - In the question it is mentioned that the production increases by a fixed number every year. So it is an A.P. (a1, a2, a3, a4, ........an - 1, an). Given: - The 3rd year production is 6000...

150 workers were engaged to finish a piece of work in a certain number of days. Four workers dropped the second day, four more workers dropped the third day, and so on. It takes 8 more days to finish work now. Find the number of days in which the work was completed.

Given: - Initially let the work can be completed in n days when 150 workers work on every day. However every day 4 workers are being dropped from the work so that work took 8 more days to be...

Two cars start together from the same place in the same direction. The first go with a uniform speed of 60 km/hr. The second goes at a speed of 48 km/hr in the first hour and increases the speed by 1 km each succeeding hour. After how many hours will the second car overtake the first car if both cars go non – stop?

Given : Two cars start together from the same place and move in the same direction. The first car moves with a uniform speed of 60km/hr. The second car moves with 48km/hr in the first hour and...

There are 30 trees at equal distances of 5 metres in a line with a well, the distance of the well from the nearest tree being 10 metres. A Gardner waters all the trees separately starting from the well and he returns to the well after watering each tree to get water for the next. Find the total distance the Gardner will cover in order to water all the trees.

Hint: Distances between trees and well are in A.P. Given: The distance of well from its nearest tree is 10 metres Distance between each tree is 5 metres. So, In A.P The first term is 10 metres and...
