Let a_1,a_2,a_3, ... . be in harmonic progression withn a_1 = 5 and a_20 = 25. The least positive integer nn for which $a_n

(d) : We have frac1a_20=(1 / a_1)+19 d => (1 / 25)=(1 / 5)+19 dnn => d=(1 / 19)((1 / 25)-(1 / 5))=-(4 / 19 x 25)nnnAgain a_n1 => n>(19 x 5 / 4)+1 n => n >= 25n nnnThus 25 is the least value of n$.

Let a_{1},a_{2},a_{3},. be in harmonic progression wi... | Sequence & Series (Mathematics)

(d) : We have

\frac{1}{a_{20}}=\frac{1}{a_1}+19 d \Rightarrow \frac{1}{25}=\frac{1}{5}+19 d

\n\Rightarrow d=\frac{1}{19}\left(\frac{1}{25}-\frac{1}{5}\right)=-\frac{4}{19 \times 25}\n

\n\nAgain

a_n<0

\n\begin{aligned}\n& \Rightarrow \frac{1}{5}+(n-1)\left(-\frac{4}{19 \times 25}\right)<0 \\\n& \frac{(n-1) 4}{19 \times 5}>1 \Rightarrow n>\frac{19 \times 5}{4}+1 \\\n& \Rightarrow n \geq 25\n\end{aligned}\n

\n\nThus 25 is the least value of

n

Explanation

Let a_{1},a_{2},,a_{n} be a given A.P. whose common difference is an integer and S_{n} = a_{1} + a_{2} + + a_{n}. If a_{1} = 1,a_{n} = 300 and 15 \leq n \leq 50, then the ordered pair ( S_{n - 4},a_{n - 4} ) is equal to

Let a_{1},a_{2},a_{3},. be a G.P. of increasing positive numbers. Let the sum of its 6^{{th}{~}} and 8^{{th}{~}} terms be 2 and the product of its 3^{{rd}{~}} and 5^{{th}{~}} terms be 1/9. Then 6( a_{2} + a_{4} )( a_{4} + a_{6} ) is equal to

For any odd integer n ? 1,n^{3} - (n - 1)^{3} + + ( - 1)^{n - 1}1^{3} =

The sum of the first n terms of the series (1^{2} + 2.2^{2} + 3^{2} + 2.4^{2} + 5^{2} + 2 . 6^{2} + ..) is (\frac{n(n + 1)^{2}}{2}, when n is even. when n is odd, the sum is

Let a,b be two non-zero real numbers. If p and r are the roots of the equation x^{2} - 8ax + 2a = 0 and q and s are the roots of the equation \end{enumerate} x^{2} + 12bx + 6b = 0, such that \frac{1}{p},\frac{1}{q},\frac{1}{r},\frac{1}{s} are in A.P., then a^{- 1} - b^{- 1} is equal to

If a_{1},a_{2},a_{3}, are in A.P. such that a_{1} + a_{7} + a_{16} = 40, then the sum of the first 15 terms of this A.P. is

Let \frac{1}{x_{1}},\frac{1}{x_{2}},,\frac{1}{x_{n}}( x_{i} eq 0 .\ for . \ i = 1,2,,n ) be in A.P. such that x_{1} = 4 and x_{21} = 20. If n is the least positive integer for which x_{n} > 50, then \sum_{i = 1}^{n}\mspace{2mu}( \frac{1}{x_{i}} ) is equal to

Let 3,a,b,c be in A.P. and 3,a - 1,b + 1,c + 9 be in G.P. Then, the arithmetic mean of a,b and c is
