Terminology
} Term : Each of the numbers in the list orsequence is called a term.
}Common Difference(d) : Commondifference d is a fixed number by addingof which to any number gives the nextterm in arithmetic progression.
For A.P: 1, 1, 3, 5, . . .
d is -2.

nth term of an APLet us consider an instance
Reena applied for a job and got selected. She
has been offered a job with a starting monthly
salary of Rs 8000, with an annual increment of
Rs 500 in her salary. Her salary (in Rs) for the
1st, 2nd, 3rd, . . . years will be, respectively
8000, 8500, 9000, . . . .What would be her monthly salary for
the fifth year?

To answer this, let us first see what hermonthly salary for the second year
would be.
It would be Rs (8000 + 500) = Rs 8500. Inthe same way, we can find the monthly
salary for the 3rd, 4th and 5th year by
adding Rs 500 to the salary of the previousyear.
So, the salary for the 3rd year = Rs (8500 +500)
= Rs (8000 + 500 + 500)
= Rs (8000 + 2 500)
= Rs [8000 + (3 1) 500] (for the 3rd year)
= Rs 9000

Salary for the 4th year = Rs (9000 + 500)
= Rs (8000 + 500 + 500 + 500)= Rs (8000 + 3 500)
= Rs [8000 + (4 1) 500] (for the 4th year)
= Rs 9500
Salary for the 5th year = Rs (9500 + 500)= Rs (8000+500+500+500 + 500)
= Rs (8000 + 4 500)
= Rs [8000 + (5 1) 500] (for the 5th year)
= Rs10000
Observe that we are getting a list of numbers
8000, 8500, 9000, 9500, 10000, . . .
These numbers are in AP. (Why?)

Now, looking at the pattern formed above,
can you find her monthly salary for the 6thyear? The 15th year? And, assuming that
she will still be working in the job, whatabout the monthly salary for the 25th year?You would calculate this by adding Rs 500
each time to the salary of the previous yearto give the answer. Can we make this
process shorter? Let us see. You may havealready got some idea from the way
we have obtained the salaries above.

Salary for the 15th year
= Salary for the 14th year + Rs 500= Rs [8000 + 14 500]
= Rs [8000 + (15 1) 500] = Rs 15000
i.e., First salary + (15 1) Annual
increment.
In the same way, her monthly salary for the25th year would be
Rs [8000 + (25 1) 500] = Rs 20000= First salary + (25 1) Annual increment

Let a1, a2, a3, . . . be an AP whose first term
a1 is a and the common difference is d.Then,
the second term
a2 = a + d = a + (2 1) d
the third terma3 = a2 + d = (a + d) + d = a + 2d = a + (3
1) d
the fourth term
a4 = a3 + d = (a + 2d) + d = a + 3d = a + (4 1) d
. . . . . . . .

Looking at the pattern, we can say that the
nth terman
=a
+ (n
1)d
.So, the nth term an of the AP with first terma and common difference d is given by
an= a + (n 1) d.
an
is also called the general term of the AP.Ifthere are m terms in the AP, then am
represents the last term which is sometimes
also denoted by l.

Examples
} Example 1 : Find the 10th term of the AP :2, 7, 12, . . .
Solution : Here, a = 2, d = 7 2 = 5 and n =10.
We have an = a + (n1) d
So, a10 = 2 + (10 1) 5 = 2 + 45 = 47
Therefore, the 10th term of the given AP is47.

} Example 2: Which term of the AP : 21, 18, 15, . . . is 81? Also, is any term 0? Give reason for your
answer.Solution : Here, a = 21, d = 18 21 = 3 and an = 81,and we have to find n.As an = a + ( n1) d,we have 81 = 21 + (n1)( 3)
81 = 24 3n105 = 3nSo, n = 35Therefore, the 35th term of the given AP is 81.Next, we want to know if there is any n for which an= 0. If such an n is there, then
21
+ (n1) (3) = 0,i.e., 3(n1) = 21
i.e., n = 8So, the eighth term is 0.

Sum of First n Terms of an AP
Let us consider an instance.
Shakila put Rs100 into her daughtersmoney box when she was one year old
and increased the amount by Rs 50 everyyear. The amounts of money (in Rs) in the
box on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, . . . birthday
were
100, 150, 200, 250, . . ., respectively

How much money will be collected in the
money box by the time her daughter is 21
years old?
Here, the amount of money (in Rs) put inthe money box on her first, second, third, fourth
. . . birthday were respectively 100, 150, 200,
250, . . . till her 21st birthday. To find the totalamount in the money box on her 21st birthday,
we will have to write each of the 21 numbers in
the list above and then add them up. Dont youthink it would be a tedious and time consuming
process? Can we make the process shorter?This would be possible if we can find a method
for getting this sum. Let us see.

S = 1 + 2 + 3 + . . . + 99 + 100
And then, reverse the numbers to writeS = 100 + 99 + . . . + 3 + 2 + 1
Adding these two, we get
2S = (100 + 1) + (99 + 2) + . . . + (3 + 98) + (2 +99) + (1 + 100)
= 101 + 101 + . . . + 101 + 101 (100 times)
So, S =[(100101)/2] 5050,
i.e., the sum = 5050.
We will now use the same technique to find
the sum of the first n terms of an AP :a, a + d, a + 2d, . . .
-
8/3/2019 Arithmetic Progression CBSE Class 10th
22/31
The nth term of this AP is a + (n 1) d. Let S
denote the sum of the first n terms of the AP.We have
S = a + (a + d ) + (a + 2d) + . . . + [a + (n 1)d ] ..(1)
Rewriting the terms in reverse order, wehave
S = [a + (n 1) d] + [a + (n 2) d ] + . . . + (a+ d) + a..(2)
On adding (1) and (2), term-wise. we get
2S = n [2a + (n 1) d ] (Since, there are n terms)

Now, if there are only n terms in an AP, then
an
= l,
the last term . From (3), we see that
This form of the result is useful when the firstand the last terms of an AP are
given and the common difference is notgiven.

Now we return to the question that was
posed to us in the beginning. The amountof money (in Rs) in the money box ofShakilas daughter on 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4thbirthday,
. . ., were 100, 150, 200, 250, . . ., respectivelyThis is an AP. We have to find the total
money collected on her 21st birthday, i.e.,the sum of the first 21 terms of this AP.

i.e., 910 = 91d
or, d = 10
Therefore, a20= 10 + (20 1) 10 = 200, i.e.
20th term is 200.

(i) the first 1000 positive integers (ii) the first n
positive integers
Solution :(i) Let S = 1 + 2 + 3 + . . . + 1000
