t1 = 0 + 2

t2 = 2 + 4

t3 = 6 + 6
= 12
t4 = 12 + 8
= 20
t5 = 20 + 10 = 30
t6 = 30 + 12 = 42
t7 = 42 + 14 = 56
t8 = 56 + 16 = 72
t9 = 72 + 18 = 90
The next four terms of the sequence are 42, 56, 72 and 90.
t1 = 1, t2 = 4, t3 = 7, t4 = 10
t2 t 1 = 4 1 = 3
t3 t 2 = 7 4 = 3
t4 t3 = 10 7 = 3
The difference between any two consecutive terms is
3 which is constant
The sequence is an A.P.
x2 3x + 2 = 0
Comparing with ax2 + bx + c = 0 we have a = 1, b = 3, c = 2

Let the third consecutive odd natural number be x, x + 2 and x + 4

As per the given condition,
x (x + 4) = 4 (x + 2) + 1
x2 + 4x = 4x + 8 + 1
x2 = 9
Taking square root on both the sides we get,
x=+3
x is a natural number x 3
Hence, x = 3
x + 2 = 3 + 2 = 5 and x + 4 = 3 + 4 = 7
The 3 consecutive odd natural numbers are 3, 5 and 7 respectively.

5x2 + 20x + 30 1455 = 0

x2 15x + 19x 285 = 0
x (x 15) + 19 (x 15) = 0
(x 15) (x + 19) = 0
x 15 = 0 or

x = 15

x = 19
x is a natural number x 19
Hence x = 15

Distance = Speed Time
Distance = xy km
According to the first condition,

Given : t9 = 0
Prove : t29 = 2t19
Proof :
tn
= a + (n 1) d
t9
= a + (9 1) d
0
= a + 8d
.......(i)
t 29 = a + (29 1) d
t 29 = a + 28d
t 29 = a + 8d + 20d
t 29 = 0 + 20d
[From (i)]
t 29 = 20d
.......(ii)
Similarly,
t 19 = a + (19 1)d
t 19
= a + 18d
t 19 = a + 8d + 10d
t 19 = 0 + 10d
[From (i)]
t 19 = 10d
......(iii)
Dividing (ii) by (iii),
t 29
t19
t 29
t19
20d
10d
= 2
t 29 = 2t 19
Hence proved.

The length of diagonal of the rhombus cannot be negative.

x 10
Hence x = 6
And x + 4 = 6 + 4 = 10
The length of smaller diagonal of a rhombus is 6 cm and
bigger diagonal is 10 cm.
