101. Given,
cost of tractor =? 12,000
Amount paid =? 62,000
Amount unpaid =? 12000 -? 6000 =? 6000
So, number of instalments =

?
= 12 = n
Now, interest on 1st installment = interest on unpaid amount ( i.e.? 6000) for 1 Year.
=? = ?720
Similarly,
Interest on 2nd installment = interest on (? 6000 -? 500) for the next 1 year
=? = ?660
And,
Interest on 2nd installment =?
=? 600
Here, Total (interest per) installment paid =? (720 + 660 + 600 + ……. upto 12 terms)
{ 720 + 660 + 600 …….is an A.P. of a = 720, d = 660 - 720 = - 60}
= 6 [ 1440 -

100. Given,
For numerator,
a (nth term) = n (n + 1)2 = n (n + 1)2 = n (n2 + 2n +1) = n3 + 2n2 + n
So,
For denominator,
an (nth term) = n2 (n + 1) = n3 + n2
So,
So,

98. Given,
S1 = 1 + 2 + 3 + ………. + n
S2 = 12 + 22 + 32 + ………… + n2
S3 = 13 + 23 + 33 + …………. + n3 =
So, L.H.S.
R.H.S.
L.H.S.
So, 9(S2)2 = S3 ( 1 + 8S1)

97. The given series is 3+7+13+21+31+ ……. upto n terms
So, Sum, Sn = 3+7+13+21+31+ ………….+ an-1 + an
Now, taking,
Sn = Sn = [ 3 + 7 + 13 + 21 + 31 + ………. an-1 + an ] [ 3+ 7 + 21 + 31 + … an-1 + an]
0 = [ 3+ (7 - 3) + (13 - 7) + (13 - 7) + (21 - 13) + …….+ (an an-1) - an]
0 = 3 + [ 4 + 6 + 8 +…….+ (n-1) terms] an
{ 4 + 6 + 8 + ……. is sum of A.P. of n 1 terms with a = 4, d = 6- 4 = 2}
an = 3 + n2 + (1 + 2) n + (-1) (2) { (a + b) (a + b) = a2 + (b + c) a + bc }
an = 3 + n2 + n- 2 = n2 + n +1

96. Given, series is terms.
So, a20 = ( 20th term of A.P. 2, 4, 6 ….) ( 20th term of A.P. 4,6,8 ………)
i.e. a = 2, d = 4 -2 = 2 i.e. a =4, d = 6- 4 = 2
= [2 + (20- 1)2] [4 + (20-1)2]
= [2+19*2] [4 +19 *2]
= (2+38) (4+38)
= 40*42 = 1680

92. Given, ab are roots of
and c & d are roots of
So,
a + b = +3 ………….I and ab = P…………….II {
Similarly, c + d
c + d = 12 ……….III ad cd = q (4)
As a, b, c, d from a G.P and if r be the common ratio
a = a
b = ar
c = ar2
d = ar3
So, from equation, (1),
And
Dividing equation (6) and (5) we get,
r2 = 4
Now, L.H.S.
