Answers & Solutions:

1) Answer (D)

Let the first term of an AP = $a$ and the common difference = $d$

3th term of AP = $A_3=a+2d=-8$ ———-(i)

9th term = $A_9=a+8d=10$ ——–(ii)

Subtracting equation (i) from (ii), we get :

=> $8d-2d=10-(-8)$

=> $6d=18$

=> $d=\frac{18}{6}=3$

Substituting it in equation (ii), => $a=10-8(3)=10-24=-14$

$\therefore$ 16th term = $A_{16}=a+15d$

= $-14+15(3)=-14+45=31$

=> Ans – (D)

2) Answer (C)

First term of AP = $a=-19$ and last term = $l=36$

Number of terms = $n=12$

Sum of AP = $\frac{n}{2}(a+l)$

= $\frac{12}{2}(-19+36)$

= $17 \times 6=102$

=> Ans – (C)

3) Answer (C)

$T_{3}$ = a + 2d = -13——-(1)

$T_{6}$ = a + 5d = -4——-(2)

on solving (1) and (2)

d = 3 & a = -19

$S_{n}=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d]$

$S_{12}=\frac{12}{2}[2(-19)+(12-1)(3)]$

$S_{12}=(6)[-38+33]$

$S_{12}=-30$

So the answer is option C.

4) Answer (A)

First term of AP = $a=-20$ and last term = $l=28$

Number of terms = $n=17$

Sum of AP = $\frac{n}{2}(a+l)$

= $\frac{17}{2}(-20+28)$

= $17 \times 4=68$

=> Ans – (A)

5) Answer (A)

$T_{3}$ = a + 2d = 13——-(1)

$T_{5}$ = a + 4d = 21——-(2)

on solving (1) AND (2)

d = 4 & a = 5

$T_{13}$ = a + 12d = 5 + 12(4) = 5 + 48 = 53

So the answer is option A.

6) Answer (C)

3 numbers are 43,91,183

largest number is 183

smallest number is 43

subtract smallest number from both the highest number

so 183 – 43 = 140

91 – 43 = 48

91 is smaller than 183, so subtract 91 from 183

183 – 91 = 92

now we have 3 numbers 140,48,92

so HCF of 140,48,92 = 4

thus the greatest number,that divides 43, 91 and 183 so as to leave the same remainder in each case, is 4

7) Answer (C)

8) Answer (D)

Subtract each number by 26

so we get

460 – 26 = 434

491 – 26 = 465

553 – 26 = 527

now taking HCF (434, 465 , 527) = 31 (  since 31 divides all the 3 numbers)

9) Answer (C)

10) Answer (D)

Arithmetic mean of 7, 5, 13, x and 9 = 10

=> $\frac{(7+5+13+x+9)}{5}=10$

=> $34+x=10 \times 5=50$

=> $x=50-34=16$

=> Ans – (D)
