Hence, a = q – r; b = r – p; c = p – q
b 2 – 4ac = 0
⇒ (r – p) 2 – 4(q – r)(p – q) = 0
r 2 + p 2 – 2pr – 4[qr – q 2 – pr + pq] = 0
r 2 + p 2 – 2pr – 4qr + 4q 2 + 4pr – 4pq = 0
(i.e.) p 2 + 4q 2 + r 2 – 4pq – 4qr + 2pr = 0
(i.e.) (p – 2q + r) 2 = 0
⇒ p – 2q + r = 0

Q.5.2.10If a, b, c are respectively the p th, q th and r th terms of a G. P show that (q – r) log a + (r – p) log b + (p – q) log c = 0v
Answer:

Let A be first term and R be the jmnon ratio of the G.P.
Given a = p th term of the G.P
General term of a G. P with first term A and common ratio R is t n = AR n – 1
∴ a = t p = AR P – 1
log a = log AR p-1 = log A + log R p-1 = log A + (p – 1) log R
b = q th term of the G.P
b = t q = AR q-1
log b = log AR q-1 = log A + log R q-1 = log A + (q – r)log R
c = r th term of the G.P
c = t r = AR r-1
log c = log AR r-1 = log A + log R r-1 = log A + (r – 1) log R
(q – r) log a + (r – p) log b + (p – q) log c
= (q – r) [log A + (p – 1) log R] + (r – p) [ log A + (q – 1) log R ] + (P – q) [ log A + (r – 1) log R]
= (q – r) log A + (q – r) (p – 1 ) log R + (r – p) log A + (r – p) (q – 1) log R + (P – q) log A + (p – q) (r – 1 ) log R
= [ q – r + r – p + p – q ] log A + [ (q – r) (p – 1) + (r – p) (q – 1) + (p – q)(r – 1)] log R
= 0 × log A + [pq – q – rp + r + rq – r – pq + p + pr – p – rq + q] log R
= 0 × log R = 0
∴ (q – r) log a + (r – p) log b + (p – q) log c = 0

Q.5.3.7Show that the sum of ( m + n) th and ( m – n) th term of an A.P is equal to twice the m th term.v
Answer:

Let the A.P. be a, a + d, a + 2d, ……..
t m + n = a + (m + n – 1)d
t m – n = a + (m – n – 1)d
t m = a + (m – 1)d
2t m = 2[a + (m – 1)d]
To prove t m + n + t m – n = 2t m
LHS t m + n + t m – n = a + (m + n – 1)d + a + (m – n – 1)d
= 2a + d [2m – 2]
= 2[a + (m – 1)d) = 2 t m = RHS

Q.5.3.8A man repays an amount of Rs.3250 by paying Rs.20 in the first month and then increases the payment by Rs. 15 per month. How long will it take him to clear the amount?v
Answer:

Amount of loan = 3250
Let n be the number of months taken to clear the loan
Amount paid in the first month a = 20
Increased payment in every month d = 15
∴ Amount paid in the second month = 20 + 15 = 35
Amount paid in the third month = 35 + 15 = 50
∴ The sequence of amount paid in every month is 20, 35, 50, …………. which is an A.P with first term a = 20 and common difference = 15
Given S n = \(\frac{n}{2}\) [2a + (n – 1) d]
S n = 3250
3250 = \(\frac{n}{2}\) [2 × 20 + (n – 1) 15]
6500 = n[40 + 15n – 15]
6500 = n[25 + 15n]
6500 = 25n + 15n 2
1300 = 5n + 3n 2
3n 2 + 5n – 1300 = 0
3n 2 + 65n – 60n – 1300 = 0
n(3n + 65) – 20 (3n + 65) = 0
(n – 20) (3n + 65) = 0
n = 20 = 0 or 3n + 65 = 0
n = 20 or n = \(-\frac{65}{3}\)
n = \(-\frac{65}{3}\) is not possible ∴ n = 20
Thus, in 20 months the loan is cleared.

Q.5.3.9In a race, 20 balls are placed in a line at intervals of 4 meters with the first ball, 24 meters away from the starting point. A contestant is required to bring the balls back to the starting place one at a time. How far would the contestant run to bring back all balls?v
Answer:

Number of balls placed in a line = 20
Let A be the starting point.
The distance of the first ball from A = 24 m
The distance of the second ball from the first ball = 4 m
A contestant starts from point A, travels a distance of 24 m and picks the first ball and brings it back to starting point A. This is continued for each ball.
Distance travelled by the contestant to bring the first ball = 24 + 24 = 2 × 24 = 48 m
Distance travelled to bring the second ball = 2 ( 24 + 4 ) = 2 × 28 = 56 m
Distance travelled to bring the third ball = 2 × (24 + 4 + 4) = 64 m
∴ The sequence of distances travelled are 48, 56, 64 ……………
This is an Arithmetic progression with first term a = 48,
common difference d = 56 – 48 = 8,
number of terms n = 20.
The sum of 20 terms of this A.P gives the total distance travelled by the contestant in bringing all balls to the starting place
S n = \(\frac{\mathrm{n}}{2}\) [2a + (n – 1)d]
S 20 = \(\frac{\mathrm{20}}{2}\) [2 × 48 + (20 – 1)8] = 10 [96 + 19 × 8]
= 10 [ 96 + 152] = 10 × 248 = 2480
Total distance traveled = 2480 m

Q.5.3.10The number of bacteria in a certain culture doubles every hour. If there were 30 bacteria present in the culture originally how many bacteria will be present at the end of the 2nd hour, 4th hour, and nth hour?v

Number of bacteria at the beginning = 30
Number of bacteria after 1 hour = 30 × 2 = 60
Number of bacteria after 2 hours = 30 × 2 2 = 120
Number of bacteria after 4 hours = 30 × 24 = 30 × 16 = 480
