Hence, percentage of depreciation in the tenth Thus, we have to find the sum of the positive
year - a + (10-1) d = 15 + 9 (-1.5) = 1.5 integers 5, 15, 25,......., 995
Also total value depreciated in 10 year = 15+ If n is the number of terms in it the sequence
13.5 + 12 +......+ 1.5 = 82.5 then 995 = 5 + 10(n - 1) = > 1000 = 10n
Hence, the value of equipment at the end of 10 Therefore, n = 100.

The largest 3 digit number that will leave a re-
11 mainder of 2 when divided by 3 is 998.
S11 = * 8 = 44 So, it is an A.P with the first term being 101 and

the last term being 998 and common difference

a=7 ber of terms
and (a - d) (a + d) = 45 We know that in an A.P, the nth term an = a1 + (n -1)d
a2 - d2 = 45 In this case, therefore, 998 = 101 + (n - 1)×2
d2 = 4 i.e., 897 - (n -1) × 3
d= �2 Therefore, n -1 = 299
or n = 300.
Hence, the numbers are 5, 7 and 9 when d = 2

numbers are the same. Sum of the A.P will therefore, be =300
