DPP: solutions
1. Write down the sequence whose 𝑛𝑡ℎ terms are

2𝑛 3+(−1)𝑛
(𝑖) (𝑖𝑖)
𝑛 3𝑛

Solution:

2𝑛
(i) Let 𝑡𝑛 = 𝑛
 DPP: SEQUENCE & SERIES
𝑝𝑢𝑡 𝑛 = 1, 2, 3, 4, … … … … . 𝑤𝑒 𝑔𝑒𝑡

21 22 8 16
𝑡1 = 1
= 2, 𝑡2 = 2
= 2, 𝑡3 = 3 , 𝑡4 = 4
=4

8
So, the sequence is 2, 2, 3 , 4 , … ….

3+(−1)𝑛
(ii) Let 𝑡𝑛 = 3𝑛

Put 𝑛 = 1, 2, 3, 4, … ..
3−1 2 3+1 4 3−1 2 3+1 4
𝑡1 = 3
= 3 , 𝑡2 = 9
= 9 , 𝑡3 = 27
= 27 , 𝑡4 = 81
= 81

2 4 2 4
So, the sequence is 3 , 9 , 27 , 81 … ….

2. 𝐹𝑖𝑛𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑚𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑒𝑞𝑢𝑒𝑛𝑐𝑒 4, 12, 20 … .108.

Solution:

𝑎 = 4, 𝑑 = 8

𝑆𝑜, 108 = 4 + (𝑛 − 1)8

104
⟹𝑛−1= 8
⟹ 𝑛 − 1 = 13 ⟹ 𝑛 = 14

Solution:

Three-digit natural numbers which on division by 7 leaves remainder 3.

𝐴𝑙𝑙 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑠𝑒 𝑛𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑎𝑟𝑒 101,108,115 … … . .997.

997 = 101 + (𝑛 − 1)7 ⟹ 𝑛 = 129

𝑠𝑜 𝑆= [101 + 997] = 70821

5. The sum of three numbers in A.P. is 27 and the sum of their squares is 293, find them.

Solution:
 DPP: SEQUENCE & SERIES
Let the numbers be

𝑎 − 𝑑, 𝑎, 𝑎 + 𝑑

Given, sum of three numbers in A.P. = 27

𝑎 − 𝑑 + 𝑎 + 𝑎 + 𝑑 = 27

⟹ 3𝑎 = 27 ⟹ 𝑎 = 9

𝐴𝑙𝑠𝑜 (𝑎 − 𝑑)2 + 𝑎2 + (𝑎 + 𝑑)2 = 293.

3𝑎2 + 2𝑑2 = 293

⟹ 2𝑑2 = 293 − 3(92 ) ⟹ 𝑑2 = 25 ⟹ 𝑑 = ±5

Therefore, numbers are 4, 9, 14

Equation (ii) – equation (i), we get

5𝑑 = 18 − 10 = − 90 ⇒ 𝑑 = − 225

𝑁𝑜𝑤, 𝑡16 = 𝑎 + 15𝑑 = 90

Hence the 16th term is 90.

Solution:

𝐴𝑠 𝑤𝑒 𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡, 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑔𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑙 𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑚 𝑜𝑓 𝑎 𝐺𝑃 𝑖𝑠 𝑔𝑖𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑏𝑦 ∶ 𝑎𝑛 = 𝑎𝑟 𝑛−1

𝐻𝑒𝑟𝑒 , 𝑎 = 2, 𝑟 = 3 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑙𝑒𝑡 𝑎𝑛 = 4374

⟹ 4374 = (2). (3)𝑛−1

⟹ 3𝑛−1 = 2187

⟹ 3𝑛−1 = 37

∴ 𝑛−1=7

𝑆𝑜, 𝑛 = 8

Hence, 4374 is the 8th term of the given sequence.
