84. Let a, ar and ar2 be the three nos. which is in G.P.

Then, a + ar + ar2 = 56

a ( 1 + r + r2) =56  -I

Given, that a1, ar 7, ar2 - 21 from an AP we have,

(ar7)(a1)=(ar221)(ar7)

ar7a+1=ar221ar+7

ara6=ar2ar14

ar2arar+aa146

ar22ar+a=8

a(r22r+1)=8 ………………. II

Now, dividing equation I by II we get,

a(1+n+n2)a(r22r+1)=568

1+r+r2=7(n22n+1)

1+r+r2=7r214n+7

7r214n+71xr2=0

6r215r+6=0

2r25r+2=0 (dividing by 3 throughout)

2r24rr+2=0

2r(r2)(r2)=0

(r2)(2r1)=0

r2=02r1=0

r=2r=12

So, when r = 2, putting in equation I,

a(1+2+22)=56

a(1+2+4)=56

a(7)=56

a=567=8

The numbers are 8, 8* 2, 8* 22 = 8, 16, 32.

And When r=12 putting in equation I,

a(1+12+122)=56

a(1+12+14)=56

a(4+2+14)=56

a*74=56

a=56*47=32

So, the numbers are 32,32*12,32*(12)232,16,8

83. Given, a = 1

a3+a5=90

Let r be the common ratio of the G.P.

So,

Let r be the common ratio of the G.P.

So,

a3+a5=ar3? 1+ar5? 1=90

? a [r2+r4]=90

? 1 [r2+r4]=90? {? a=1}

? r4+r2? 90=0

Let x=r2 so we can write above equation as

x2+x? 90=0x=r2

82. Given, a = 5

r=2>1

sn=315

So,  a (rn1)r1=315

5 (2n1)21=315

2n1=3155

2n=63+1

2n=64=26

n=6

Hence, last term =a6=ar61=ar5=5*25=5*32

= 160

81. Given, f(x+y)=f(x)f(y).Ux,yN and f(1)=3

Putting (x, y) = (1+1) we get

Putting (x, y) = (1,1) we get,

f(1+1)=f(1)f(1)=33=9

f(2)=9

And putting (x,y)=(1,2) we get,

f(1+2)=f(1)f(2)=3*9=27

f(3)=27

f(1)+f(2)+f(3)+?+f(x)=x=1nf(x)=120 (Given)

As, With a = 3

r=93=3>1

We can write equation I as ,

a(rn1)r1=120

3(3n1)31=120

32(3n1)=120

(3n1)=120*23

3n 1 = 80

3n = 81 +1

3n = 81

3n = 34

n = 4

80. Two digits no. when divided by 4 yields 1 as remainder are, 12+1, 16+1, 20+1 …., 96+1

13, 17, 21, ………97 which forms an A.P.

So, a = 13

d=1713=4

l=97

a+ (x1)d=97

13+ (x1)4=97

(x1)4=9713=84

x1=844=21

x=21+1=22

Sum of numbers in A.P. = x2 (a+l)

=222 (13+97)

= 11* 110

= 1210

79. An A.P. of numbers from 1 to 100 divisible by 2 is

2, 4, 6, ……….98, 100.

So, a = 2 and d = 4-2 = 2

l= 100

a+(n1)d=100

2+(n1)2=100

22+(n1)22=1002

1+(n1)=50

n=50

Let, s1=2+4+6?+9+100=502[2+100]{?Sn=n2(a+1)}

=50*1022

= 2550

Similarly, an A.P. of numbers from 1 to 100 divisible by 5 is

5,10,15, ……. 95,100

So, a = 5 and d = 100

l= 100

a+(n1)d=100

5+(n1)5=100

1+(n1)=20

n=20

S2=5+10+15+95+100=202[5+100]

=20*1052

= 1050

As there are also no divisible by both 2 and 5 , i.e., LCM of 2 and 5 = 10 An A.P. of no. from 1 to 100 divisible by 10 is 10, 20, …………100

So, a = 10, d = 10

l=100

a+(x1)l=100

10+(x1)10=100

1+(x1)=10

x=10

So, S3=10+20+30++100=102[10+100]

= 550

The required sum of number =S1+S2S3=2550+1050550=3050

= 3050

78. 7282005740014605643550491Smallest =2004+7=203Largest =4001=399

So we can form an A.P. 203,203+7, …., 399-7, 399

So, i.e. a = 203 and d = 7 

l = 399

a+(x1)d=399

203+(x1)7=399

(x1)7=399203

x1=1967

x=28+1

x=29

Sum of the 29 number of the AP = Required sum = η2[a+l)

=292[203+399]

=292*602

= 8729.

77. Let a and d be the first term and common difference of an A.P.

Then, 

n=n2[2a+(n1)d]=S1

S2n=2n2[2a+(2n1)d]=S2

S3n=3n2[2a+(3n1)d]=S3

Now, R.H.S =3(S2S1)

=3{2n2[2a+(2n1)d]x2[2a+(n1)d]}

=3n2{2[2a+(2n1)d[2a+(x1)d]}

=3n2{4a+(4x2)d2a(x1)d}

=3n2{2a+[4x2(n1)d]}

=3n2{2a+[4n2n+1]d}

=3n2{2a+[3n1]d}=S3

S3=3(S2s1)

76. Let the three numbers a  d, a, a + d be in A.P.

Then, (ad)+a+(a+d)=24

 3a = 24

 a = 8

and, (ad)*a*(a+d)=440

(ad)(a2+ad)=440

a3+a2da2dad2=440

a3ad2=440.

a(a2d2)=440

Put, a=8,8(a2d2)=440

64d2=4408

64d2=55

d2=6455

d2=9

d=±3

When d = 3, a = 8 the three number are.

 3, 8, 8 + 3 5,8,11

When d =  3, a = 8 the three numbers are.

8(3),8,8+(3)8+3,8,8311,8,5

75. Let a and d be the first term and common difference of the A.P.

So,  a (m+n)+a (mn)= {a+ [ (m+n)1]d}+ {a+ [ [mn)1]d}

=a+ (m+n1)d+a+ (mn1)d

=2a+ (m+n1+mn1)d

=2a+ (2m+02)d

=2 [a+ (m1)d]

= 2 am
