CHSE Odisha Class 11 Math Solutions Chapter 10 Sequences and Series Exercise 10(a)

Question 1.
Which of the following in a sequence?
(i) f(x) = [x], x ∈ R
(ii) f(x) = |x|, x ∈ R
(iii) f(x) = \(\sqrt[n]{\pi}\) ,n∈ N
Solution:
(iii) f(x) = \(\sqrt[n]{\pi}\) ,n∈ N is a sequence f(n) : N → X, X ⊂ R.

Question 2.
Determine if (t_n) is an arithmetic sequence if :
(i) t_n = an² + bn
Solution:
t_n = an² + bn
⇒ t_n+1 = a(n + 1)² + b(n – 1)
⇒ t_n+1 – t_n = a{(n + 1)² – n²} + b{n + 1 – n}
= a(2n + 1) + b
Which is not independent of n.
∴ (t_n) is not an A.P.

(ii) t_n = an + b
Solution:
t_n = an + b
⇒ t_n+1 = a(n + 1) + b
Now t_n+1 – t_n
= {a(n + 1) + b} – {an + b}
= a (constant)
∴ (t_n) is an arithmetic sequence.

(iii) t_n = an² + b
Solution:
t_n = an² + b
⇒ t_n+1 = a(n + 1)² + b
∴ t_n+1 – t_n = a[(n + 1)² – n²] + b – b
= a(2n + 1)
(does not independent of n)
∴ (t_n) is not an arithmetic sequence.

Question 3.
If a geometric series converges which of the following is true about its common ratio r?
(i) r > 1
(ii) -1 < r < 1
(iii) r > 0

(ii) x + \(\frac{1}{2}\)x + \(\frac{1}{3}\)x² + ….
(iii) x + (1 + 2)x² + (1 + 2 + 3)x³ +…
(iv) x + 3x² + 5x³ + 7x⁴ + …
Solution:
(iv) x + 3x² + 5x³ + 7x⁴ + … is an arithmetic geometric series with a = 1, d = 2, r = x.

Question 6.
For an arithmetic sequence (t_n) t_p = q, t_q = p, (p ≠ q), find t_n.
Solution:
t_p = q ⇒ a + (p – 1)d = q    ……(1)
t_q = p ⇒ a + (q – 1)d = p    ……(2)
From (1) and (2) we have (p – q)d = q – p
⇒ d = (-1)
Putting d = (-1) in (1)
we have a = p + q – 1
∴ t_n = a + (n – 1)d
= (P + q – 1) + (n – 1) (-1)
= p + q – n

Question 7.
For an arithmetic series, ∑a_n S_p = q and S_q = p (p ≠ q) find S_p+q
Solution:
S_p = q and S_q = p

(ii) 1 + (1 + x)y + (1 + x + x²)y² + …..(to infinity)
Solution:
Let S_∞ = 1 + (1 + x)y + (1x + x²)y² + …
⇒ S_n = 1 + (1 + 1 + x)y + (1 + x + x²)y² + ……+(1 + x + …. x^n-1)y^n-1

(iii) 1 + \(\frac{3}{5}\) + \(\frac{7}{25}\) + \(\frac{15}{125}\) + \(\frac{31}{625}\) + …..(to infinity)

(i) \(\frac{1}{1 \cdot 2}+\frac{1}{2 \cdot 3}+\frac{1}{3 \cdot 4}+\ldots\)
Solution:

= 1 – \(\frac{1}{n+1}\)
∴ \(S_{\infty}=\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} S_n=1\)

(ii) \(\frac{1}{1 \cdot 2 \cdot 3}+\frac{1}{2 \cdot 3 \cdot 4}+\frac{1}{3 \cdot 4 \cdot 5}+\ldots\)
Solution:
\(\frac{1}{1 \cdot 2 \cdot 3}+\frac{1}{2 \cdot 3 \cdot 4}+\frac{1}{3 \cdot 4 \cdot 5}+\ldots\)

(iii) \(\frac{1}{2 \cdot 5 \cdot 8}+\frac{1}{5 \cdot 8 \cdot 11}+\frac{1}{8 \cdot 11 \cdot 14}+\ldots\)
Solution:
Here t_n = \(\frac{1}{(3 n-1)(3 n+2)(3 n+5)}\)
The denominator of t_n is the product of 3 consecutive terms of A.P. Now multiplying and dividing by (3n + 5) – (3n – 1) we have
\(t_n=\frac{(3 n+5)-(3 n-1)}{6(3 n-1)(3 n+2)(3 n+5)}\)

(iv) \(\frac{3}{1^2 \cdot 2^2}+\frac{5}{2^2 \cdot 3^2}+\frac{7}{3^2 \cdot 4^2}+\ldots\) [Hint : take t_n = \(\frac{2 n+1}{n^2(n+1)^2}=\frac{(n+1)^2-n^2}{n^2(n+1)^2}\)]

[Hint : t_n = (3n – 1) (3n + 2)(3n + 5)]
Solution:

(v) 1.5 + 2.6 + 3.7 + …
[Hint: t_n = n(n + 4) is not a product of two successive terms of an A.P. for the term following n should be n+1, not n+4. So the method of previous exercises is not applicable. Instead, write t_n = n² + 4n and find S_n = \(\sum_{k=1}^n k^2+4 \sum_{k=1}^n k\) applying formulae]
Solution:

(vi) 2.3 + 3.6 + 4.11 + …

Question 14.
(i) Find the sum of the product of 1,2,3….20 taken two at a time. [Hint: Required sum = \(\frac{1}{2}\left\{\left(\sum_{k=1}^{20} k\right)^2-\sum_{k=1}^{20} k^2\right\}\)]
Solution:
We know that
(x₁ + x₂ + x₃ + …. + x_n)²
= (x²₁ + xⁿ₂ + … + x²_n) + 2 (Sum of all possible Products taken two at a time)
∴ 2 (Sum of products of 1. 2, 3,…… 20 taken two at a time)
= (1 + 2 + 3 + … 20)² – (1² + 2² + … + 20²)
\(=\left(\frac{20 \times 21}{2}\right)^2-\frac{20(20+1)(40+1)}{6}\)
= (210)² – 70 × 41
= 44100 – 2870 = 41230
∴ The required sum = \(\frac{41230}{2}\) = 20615

(ii) Do the same for 1, 3, 5, 7,….19.
Solution:
Here the required sum

Question 15.

Solution:

Question 16.
If a, b, c are respectively the pth, qth, rth terms of an A.P., then prove that a(q – r) + b(r – p) + c(p – q) = 0
Solution:
Let the first term of an A.P. = A and the common difference = D.
According to the question
t_P = a, t_q = b, t_r = c
⇒ A + (p – q)D = a      …..(1)
A + (q – 1)D = b           …..(2)
A + (r – 1)D = c            …..(3)
L.H.S = a(q – r) + b (r – p) + c (p – q)
= (A + (p – 1)D) (q – r) + (A + (q – 1)D)
(r- p) + (A + (r – 1)D) (p – q)
= A (q – r + r – p + p – q) + D [(p – 1)
(q – r) + (q – 1) (r – p) + (r – 1) (p – q)]
= D (pq – pr + qr – pq + pr – qr) – D (q – r + r – p + p – q) = 0

If a, b, c are respectively the sum of p, q, r terms of an A.P., prove that \(\frac{a}{p}(q-r)+\frac{b}{q}(r-p)+\frac{c}{r}(p-q)\) = 0
Solution:

Question 22.
If a, b, c,d are in G.P., prove that (a² + b² + c²)(b² + c² + d²) = (ab + bc + cd)².
Solution:
Let a, b, c, and d are in G.P.
Let the common ratio = r
⇒ b = ar, c = ar², d = ar³
LHS = (a² + b² + c²) (b² + c² + d²)
= (a² + a²r² + a²r⁴) (a²r² + a²r⁴ + a²r⁶)
= a⁴r² (1 + r² + r⁴)²
= (a²r + a²r³ + a²r⁵)²
= (a.ar + ar.ar² + ar².ar³)²
= (ab + bc + cd)² = R.H.S. (proved)
