32. (a)Given: S5 + S7 = 167
⇒ 5/2[2a + (5 – 1)d] + 7/2 [2a + (7 – 1)d] = 167 … [S<sub<n = n2 (2a + (n – 1)d)
⇒ 5/2[2a + 4d] + 7/2[2a + 6d] = 167 ½
⇒ 5(a + 2d) + 7(a + 3d) = 167
⇒ 5a + 10d + 7a + 210 = 167
⇒ 12a + 31d = 167 ½
Now, S10 = 10/2 (2a + (10 – 1)d) = 235
⇒ 5[2a + 9d] = 235
⇒ 10a + 45d = 235 1
Solving (i) and (ii), we get a = 1 and d = 5
a1 = 1
a2 = a + d ⇒ 1 + 5 = 6
a3 = a + 2d ⇒ 1 + 10 = 11 1
Hence A.P. is 1, 6, 11

(b) let the angles be a – d, a, a + d; a > 0, d > 0

∵ Sum of angles = 180°
∴ a – d + a + a + d = 180° ½
⇒ 3a = 180° ∴ a = 60° …(i)
By the given condition
a – d = a+d2
⇒ 2 = 2a – 2d = a + d
⇒ 2a – a = d + 2d ⇒ a = 3d
⇒ d = a3=60∘3 = 20° … [From (i)
∴ Angles are: 60° – 20°, 60°, 60° + 20° 1½
i.e., 40°, 60°, 80°

To Prove : ABCD is a rhombus.

1 mark

We know that the tangents drawn to a circle from an exterior point are equal is length.
∴ AP = AS, BP = BQ, CR = CQ and DR = DS.
AP+BP+CR+DR = AS+BQ+CQ+DS
1 mark
(AP+BP) + (CR+DR) = (AS+DS) + (BQ+CQ)
∴ AB+CD=AD+BC or 2AB=2AD (since AB=DC and AD=BC of parallelogram ABCD)
