Arithmetic Progressions
Problems based on Arithmetic Progressions
Given: Annual salary = Rs 5000 Increment = Rs 200
Q) Subba Rao started work in 1995 at an annual salary of Rs 5000 and received an increment of Rs 200 each year . In which year did his income reach Rs 7000?

To find: Year in which the income reached Rs 7000
Solution: Annual salary received by Subba Rao in 1995, 1996, 1997,… is Rs 5000, Rs 5200, Rs 5400,…
Sequence of salaries (in Rs) 5000, 5200, 5400, --- forms an arithmetic progression with first term a = 5000 and common difference d = 200.

5000 + (n - 1) (200) = 7000
200n - 200 = 7000 - 5000
200n = 2200
n = 11
Thus, in the 11th year Subba Rao’s income reached Rs. 7000.

a + (n - 1)d = 7000
Given: Savings in the 1st week of the year = Rs 5 Increase in weekly savings = Rs 1.75
Q) Ramkali saved Rs 5 in the first week of a year and then increased her weekly savings by Rs 1.75. If in the nth week, her weekly saving become Rs. 20.75, find n.

To find: n
Solution: Ramkali’s weekly savings are Rs. 5, Rs. 6.75, Rs.8.50…..
Her weekly savings in nth week = 20.75
nth term = 20.75
a + (n – 1)d = 20.75
5 + (n – 1)(1.75) = 20.75

(1.75n – 1.75) = 20.75 - 5
1.75n = 15.75 + 1.75
1.75n = 17.50
n = 10
Hence, n = 10

Solution:
Q) Compute the sum of first 30 terms of the AP 3, 8, 13, 18,...
First term = a = 3, common difference = d = 5, n = 30
S30 = [(2)(3) + (30 – 1)(5)]30 2
Sn = [2a + (n – 1)d]n2
S30 = 15 [6+ (29)(5)]
S30 = 15 [6+ 145]
S30 = 15 [151]
Hence, the sum of first 30 terms of the given AP is 2265

S30 = 2265
Solution:
Q)Find the sum of the first 200 natural numbers.
Sum of 200 natural numbers = 1 + 2 + 3 + ….+ 199 + 200.
Sn = [2a + (n – 1)d] n 2
Here, a = 1, d = 2 – 1 = 1, n = 200
Hence, the sum of first 200 natural numbers is 20100
S200 = [2(1) + (200 – 1)(1)] 200 2
S200 = (2 + 199) 100
S200 = (201) = 20100 100
