8.

: If m times the mth term of an A.P. is n times its nth term, show thatthe (m+n)th term of the A.P. is 0.

Answer»

Let the first term of AP = acommon difference = dWe have to show that (m+n)th term is zero ora + (m+n-1)d = 0

mth term= a + (m-1)dnth term = a + (n-1) d

Given thatm{a +(m-1)d} = n{a + (n -1)d}⇒am +m²d -md = an + n²d - nd⇒am - an +m²d - n²d -md + nd = 0⇒a(m-n) + (m²-n²)d-(m-n)d = 0⇒a(m-n) + {(m-n)(m+n)}d -(m-n)d = 0⇒ a(m-n) + {(m-n)(m+n) -(m-n)} d = 0⇒a(m-n) +(m-n)(m+n -1) d = 0⇒ (m-n){a+ (m+n-1)d} = 0⇒a + (m+n -1)d = 0/(m-n)⇒a + (m+n -1)d = 0

people in the group.28. If the mth term of an AP isand nth term isthen show that its (onn)th term is 1.

Answer»

Given that, mth term=1/n and nth term=1/m.then ,let a and d be the first term and the common difference of the A.P.so a+(m-1)d=1/n...........(1) and a+(n-1)d=1/m...........(2).subtracting equation (1) by (2) we get,md-d-nd+d=1/n-1/m=>d(m-n)=m-n/mn=>d=1/mn. again if we put this value in equation (1) or (2) we get, a=1/mn.then, let A be the mnth term of the APa+(mn-1)d=1/mn+1+(-1/mn)=1 hence proved.

5. Acertain freezing process requires that room temperature be lowered from 40째C at the rate of 5째C every hour Whattemperature 10 hours after the process begins ?

Answer»

Every hour temperature decrease by 5°c

Then in 10 hours temperature will decrease by 10*5 = 50°c

Therefore,After 10 hours temperature will be = (40 - 50) = - 10°c

17.

cooling machine requires that room temperature to be lowered from 50째C at the rate of 5째Cery hour. What will be the room temperature after 6 hours, after process begins?

Answer»

Initial Temperature = 40° CRate of change in temperature = 5°C/hourTime = 10 hours

So, in 10 hours the temperature would be decreased by 10*5 = 50°C.

So, Final Temperature = 40 - 50 =- 10°C

Answer»

Injective function is the function , which has different values for every domain

and for that f'(x) should be either +ve or -ve

here f(x) = x³. => f'(x) = 3x²

which is always +ve , so the function is injective.

8. Two trains ofhe same length but with different speeds pass a static pole in 5 seconds and 6 secondsrespectively. In what time will they cross each other when they are moving in the same directio(3) 1 min(4) 60 min(5) of theseis and q seconds

Answer»

Length of the train = l meter.

Speed of the two trains are l/5 and l/6.

Total distance = 2l.

In same direction Relative speed is (l/5 - l/6).

= l/5 - l/6 = l/30.

Required Time = Distance/Speed.

= 2l/(l/30) = 60 seconds.

Shortcut method:

Formula = 2(Product of time taken)/Difference of time taken.

= 2(6 * 5)/(6 - 5) = 2 * 30 = 60 seconds.
