    The document discusses various math problems and their step-by-step solutions.

    To find the sum of the first n terms, we equate the given formula to the standard formula and solve to get the common difference as 8 and first term as 17.

    Using the properties of an arithmetic progression, we determine that the smallest 3-digit number divisible by 17 is 102 and largest is 986. Using the formula for sum, the answer is 28832.

    Step 1
    For an arithmetic progression with f irst term = a1, and common dif f erence of successive
    members = d, sum of f irst n terms is given by,
    Sn = (n/2)[2a1 + (n-1)d ]
    Step 2
    It is given that sum of f irst n terms is 13n + 4n2,
    Sn = 13n + 4n2
    (n/2)[2a1 + (n-1)d ] = 13n + 4n2
    (n/2)[2a1 + nd - d ] = 13n + 4n2
    na1 + (d/2)n2 - (d/2)n = 13n + 4n2
    (a1 - d/2)n + (d/2)n2 = 13n + 4n2 ...................... (1)
    Step 3
    On comparing f actors of n2 in Eq. (1)
    d/2 = 4
    d=8
    Step 4
    On comparing f actors of n in Eq. (1)
    a1 - d/2 = 13
    a1 - d/2 = 13
    a1 - 4 = 13
    a1 = 13 + 4
    a1 = 17
    Step 5
    Now we can f ind 24 th term using standard f ormula f or arithmetic progression,
    an = a1 + (n-1) d
    a24 = 17 + (24-1) 8
    a24 = 17 + 184
    a24 = 201

    (4) 1
    Step 1
    Expression can be rewritten as f ollowing
    = (cos 2)3 + (sin2)3 + 3 cos 2 sin2
    Step 2
    Since x3 + y3 = ( x + y ) ( x2 + y2 - xy)
    = (cos 2 + sin2 ) [ (cos 2)2 + (sin2)2 - cos 2 sin2 ] + 3 cos 2 sin2
    Step 3
    Since cos 2 + sin2 =1 and x2 + y2 = (x+y)2 - 2 xy)
    = (cos 2 + sin2 ) [ (cos 2 + sin2)2 - 2 cos 2 sin2 - cos 2 sin2] + 3 cos 2 sin2
    = [ 1 - 3 cos 2 sin2 ] + 3 cos 2 sin2
    =1

    Step 1
    2 + 4 + 6 + .... n terms = 90
    Step 2
    n(2 2 + 2(n - 1))/2 = 90 [Using AP summation Sn = n/2(22 + d(n - 1) )]
    Step 3
    n2 + n = 90
    Step 4
    n2 + n - 90 = 0
    Step 5
    (n - 9) (n + 10) = 0
    Step 6
    n = 9 or -10. Since n cannot be negative, n = 9

    (7) a. 636
    Step 1
    Sum of the f irst n terms of arithmetic progression,
    Sn = (n/2)[2a + (n - 1)d].
    nth term of arithmetic progression,
    an = a + (n - 1)d].
    Step 2
    It is given that sum of the f irst 7 terms is 196,
    S7 = 196
    (7/2)[2a + (7 - 1)d] = 196
    (7/2)[2a + 6d] = 196
    14a + 42d = 392
    1a + 3d = 28 ------(1)
    Step 3
    Now 10th and 40th terms can be f ound as f ollowing,
    a10 = [a + (10 - 1)d] = a + 9d,
    a40 = [a + (40 - 1)d] = a + 39d
    It is also given that the ratio of term 10th to term 40th of the AP is 19:79,
    a + 9d
    a + 39d

    19
    79

    79a + 711d = 19a + 741d


    79a - 19a = 741d -711d
    60a = 30d
    a = (1/2) d ------(2)
    Step 4
    On substiuting value of a f rom equation (1) in equation (2), we get,
    d=8
    Step 5
    Now,
    a = (1/2) d
    a = (1/2) (8)
    a=4
    Step 6
    Now, the value of the 80th term of the AP,
    a8 0 = a + (80 - 1)d
    = 4 + 79(8)
    = 636

    Since sum of opposite f aces are 7, f ace marked x should f ace 7-x. Hence x and 7-x cannot
    be adjacent f aces. In given f our choices only one view is such that x and 7-x are not
    adjacent.

    Step 1
    = 3 (sin4 + cos 4) - 2 [ (sin2)3 + (cos 2)3 } ]
    Step 2
    = 3 (sin4 + cos 4) - 2 [ (sin2 + cos 2) {(sin2)2 + (cos 2)2 - sin2 cos 2 } ]
    Step 3
    Since sin2 + cos 2 = 1
    =3 (sin4 + cos 4) - 2 {sin4 + cos 4 - sin2 cos 2 }
    Step 4
    = sin4 + cos 4 + 2 sin2 cos 2
    Step 5

    y (sec - tan) = 1
    Step 4
    sec - tan = 1/y
    Step 5
    Now (sec + tan) + (sec - tan) = y + 1/y
    Step 6
    2 sec = y + 1/y
    Step 7
    sec = 1/2(y + 1/y)

    (11) d. 28832
    Step 1
    All numbers which are divisible by 17, f orms an arithmetic progression with dif f erences
    between consecutive terms to be 17
    Step 2
    We know smallest three digit number is 100. On dividing 100 by 17 we get remainder of 15
    T heref ore if we if we add remaining (17 - 15 = 2) to 100, resultant number (100 + 2 = 102)
    will be f ully divisible by 17
    T heref ore f irst number of the arithmetic progression is 102
    Step 3
    Similarly, largest three digit number is 999. On dividing 999 by 17 we get remainder of 13
    T heref ore if we if we subtract 13 f rom 999, resultant number (999 - 13 = 986) will be f ully
    divisible by 17
    T heref ore last number of the arithmetic progression is 986
    Step 4
    If there are total N terms in series, Nth term is given by
    T N = T 1 + (N-1)d
    986 = 102 + (N-1)(17)
    17(N - 1) = 986 - 102
    17(N - 1) = 884
    N - 1 = 884/17
    N - 1 = 52
    N = 52 + 1
    N = 53
    Step 5
    Now sum of arithmetic progression can be f ound using standard f ormula,
    SN = (N/2)[T 1 + (N-1)d]
    SN = (53/2)[2102 + (53-1)(17)]
    SN = (53/2)[204 + 884]
    SN = (53/2)[1088]
    SN = 28832

    (15) c. 10
    Step 1
    Number of cans in f irst row f rom bottom a1 = 224,
    Number of cans in second row f rom bottom a2 = 217,
    Number of cans in third row f rom bottom a3 = 210,
    and so on...
    Step 2
    We can see that dif f erence in number of cans in successive rows is f ixed,
    a2 - a1 = 217 - 224 = -7,
    a3 - a2 = 210 - 217 = -7
    Since, a2 - a1 = a3 - a2,
    theref ore, the series of number of cans in a row are in AP.
    Now, a = 224,
    d = -7
    Step 3
    We know that, Sn =

    [2a + (n - 1)d] -----(1)

    Let's assume, the number of rows to be 'n'.


    According to the question, the number of cans in the warehouse = 1925,
    T heref ore, Sn = 1925 -----(2).
    Step 4
    By comparing equation (1) and (2), we get:
    1925 =

    [2a + (n - 1)d]

    2
    1925 =

    [(2 224) + (n - 1)(-7)]

    2
    1925 =

    [-7n + (455)]

    2
    3850 = [-7n2 + (455n)]
    7n2 - 455n + 3850 = 0
    Step 5
    T he number of rows in the warehouse can neither be negative nor in f raction, the value of
    'n' must be positive integer.
    By solving above quadratic equation, we get:
    n = 10
    Step 6
    T heref ore, there are 10 rows of cans in the warehouse.
