As ar+-a; is the same for k= 1, 2, 3, etc. the given list of numbers is an AP.
Now. a=5 and d=

Let 301 be a term, sav, the nth term of this AP.

We know that

So. 30l =5+ (n- 1) x 6
i.e., 301 = 6n-1
So, n= b1

But n should be a positive inteper as it is the number of a term. So. 301 Is not
a term of the given list of numbers.

43. Given :XY is a tangent to a circle with centre 0, at I

touching the circle P.

To prove: OP 1

XY.

Proof: Take a point Q on XY other than P and join o9

Point Q must lie outside the circle, because if it lies inside the circle or on
the circle, XY becomes a secant to the circle and not a tangent.
.0Q is longer than the radius OP of the circle.
Thus. oQ> OP.

This is true for every point Q XY other than P. Hence, OP is the shortest
of all the distances of the point O to the line XY. So. OP is perpendicular
to XY, ie.. OPLXY

The interest at the end of the 2nd year= 160

The interest at the end of the 3rd year
=

100 240
Similarly. we can obtain the interest at the end of the 4th year,. 5ti year, and so
on. So, the interest (in at the end of the 1st., 2nd. 3rd. years. respectively
are 80, 160, 240, ....
It is an AP as the difference between the consecutive terms in the list is 80, i.e..
d= 80. Also, a= 80,.
So, to find the interest at the end of 30 years. we shaill find n

Now. ag0

So, the interest at the end of 30 vears will be 2400.

Here. n 40
20th observation lies in the class 144.5- 153.5 as seen from the column of cumulative
frequency.
Hence 144.5- 153.5 is the medlian class
Now. I = lower limit of the median class = 144.5

cf= the cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class 17

f= the frequency of the median class = 12

h= class length =9
Substituting the values in the formula, we get
Median M-l+ xh= 144.5 +(2) x9 - 146.75
Thus, the median length of the leaves is 146.75 mm.

49. Let the number of marbles that John had be x.

Then. the number of marbles that Jivanti had is (45 -x).

After losing 5 marbles, the number of marbles left with John x-5.
Afer losing 5 marbles, the number of marbles left with Jivanti = (45-x) -5 = 40 -x.
Therefore, the product of marbles with them is (x-5) (40-x). which is given to be 124.
Hence, we get the following equation:
(x-5) (40-x)= 124.

40x -x-200 + 5x 124
