72. Given that,
an = n(n + 1)(n + 4)
= n(n2 + 4n + n + 4)
=n(n2 + 5n + 4)
= x3 + 5x2 + 4x
So, sum of terms, Sn =

71. The given series is 12 + (12 + 22) + (12 + 22 + 32) + …
So, nth term well be
an =12 + 22 + 32 + … + n2.
So, Sn =

70. The given series is 3 8 + 11 + 9 14 + …
So, an= (nth term of 3, 6, 9, …) (nth term of 8, 11, 14, …)
i e, a = 3, d = 6- 3 = 3i e, a= 8, d = 11- 8 = 3
= [3 + (n- 1) 3] [8 + (n -1) 3]
= [3 + 3n- 3] [8 + 3n -3]
= 3n (3n + 5)
= 9n2 + 15n.
So, Sn = 9∑n2 + 15∑ n.
= 3n (n + 1) (n + 3)

69. The given series is 52 + 62 + 72 + … + 202
This can be rewritten as (12 +22 + 32 + 42 + 52 + 62 + 72 + … + 202) - (12 + 22 + 32 + 42)
So, sum = (12 + 22 + 32 + 42 … + 202) - (12 + 22+ 32 + 42)
= 2870 30
= 2840.

68. The given series is
So, an =
So. Putting n = 1, 2, 3….n.
a1 =
a2 =
a3 =
So, adding. L.H.S and R.H.S. up ton terms
a1 + a2 + a3 + … + an =
Sn = 1 { equal terns cancelled out}
Sn =
Sn =

67. The given series is 3 * 12 + 5 * 22 + 7 * 32 + ….
So,an = (nth term of A P 3, 5, 7, .) (nth term of A P 1, 2, 3, ….)2
a = 3, d = 5 -3 = 2a = 1, d = 2 -1 = 1.
= [3 + (n- 1) 2] [1 + (n- 1) 1]2
=[3 + 2n- 2] [1 + n- 1]2
(2n + 1)(n)2
= 2n3 + n2
So, = 5n2∑n3 + ∑n2

65. Given series is 1*2+2 *3+3* 4+4* 5+…
So, an (nth term of A.P 1, 2, 3…) (nth term of A.P. 2, 3, 4, 5…)
i e, a = 2, d = 2 -1 = 1i e, a = 2, d = 3 - 2 = 1
= [1 + (n- 1) 1] [2 + (n -1) 1]
= [1 + n- 1] [2 + n -1]
= n (n -1)
= n2-n.
Sn (sum of n terms of the series) = ∑n2 + ∑n.
Sn = +

64. Let a and b be the roots of quadratic equation
So, A.M = 8
a + b =16 ….I
G.M. =

ab = 25…. II
We know that is a quadratic equation
(sum of roots) + product of roots = 0
using I and II
Which is the reqd. quadratic equation

63. Given,
Principal value, amount deposited, P= ?500
Interest Rate, R= 10
Using compound interest = simple interest +
Amount at the end of 1st year
=
= ?500* (1.1)
Amount at the end of 2nd year
=
=
= ?500 (1.1)2
Similarly,
Amount at the end of 3rd year = ?500 (1.1)3
So, the amount will form a G.P.
? 500 (1.1)? 500 (1.1)2?500 (1.1)3, ……….
After 10 years = ?500 (1.1)10

62. Since the numbers of bacteria doubles every hour. The number after every hour will be a G.P
So, a=30
r=2
At end of 2nd hour, a3 (or 3rd term) =
= 30*24
= 120
At end of 4th hour, a5 (r 4th term) =
= 30*24
= 30*16
= 480
Following the trend,
And at the end of nth hour, an+1=
= 30 *2n
