Q3(ix):
In an AP:
(ix) given $a = 3, n = 8, S = 192$, find $d$.
Solution :
Given:
The first term of the Arithmetic Progression (AP), $a = 3$.
The number of terms in the AP, $n = 8$.
The sum of the first $n$ terms, $S_n = 192$.
To find:
The common difference, $d$.
Step 1: Stating the relevant formula for the sum of an AP.
The sum of the first $n$ terms of an Arithmetic Progression is given by the formula:
$S_n = \frac{n}{2} [2a + (n - 1)d]$
[Where $S_n$ is the sum, $n$ is the number of terms, $a$ is the first term, and $d$ is the common difference.]
Step 2: Substituting the given values into the formula.
Substitute $S_n = 192$, $n = 8$, and $a = 3$ into the equation:
$192 = \frac{8}{2} [2(3) + (8 - 1)d]$
Step 3: Simplifying the equation.
First, simplify the fraction outside the bracket:
$192 = 4 [2(3) + (8 - 1)d]$
Next, perform the arithmetic operations inside the bracket:
$192 = 4 [6 + 7d]$
Step 4: Solving for $d$.
Divide both sides of the equation by 4:
$\frac{192}{4} = 6 + 7d$
$48 = 6 + 7d$
Subtract 6 from both sides to isolate the term containing $d$:
$48 - 6 = 7d$
$42 = 7d$
Divide both sides by 7 to find the value of $d$:
$d = \frac{42}{7}$
$d = 6$
Final Answer: The common difference $d$ is 6.
