Question 2.
Take any Arithmetic Progression.
4, 7, 10, 13, 16, ……

Question 3.
Add a fixed number to each and every tetm of A.P. Write the resulting numbers as a list.
4, 7, 10, 13, 16, …….
Adding ‘5’ to each term of the above A.P. we get
4 + 5, 7 + 5, 10 + 5, 13 + 5, 16 + 5,…
9, 12, 15, 18, 21, ……
In the list obtained the first term
a1 = 9; a2 = 12, a3 = 15, a4 = 18,
Also a2 – a1 = 12 – 9 = 3
a3 – a2 = 15 – 12 = 3
a4 – a3 = 18 – 15 = 3
……………………………………
i.e.,
d = a2 – a1 = a3 – a2 = a4 – a3 = …. = 3
∴ The resulting list forms an A.P.

Question 4.
Similarly subtract’a fixed number from each and every term of A.P. Write the resulting numbers as a list.
4, 7, 10, 13, 16, ……
Subtracting ‘2’ from the each term of A.P in given series, we get
4 – 2, 7 – 2, 10- 2, 13 – 2, 16 – 2, ……
2, 5, 8, 11, 14, ……
In the list obtained, the first term
a1 = 2 , a2 = 5, a3 = 8, a4 = 11,
Also a2 – a1 = 5 – 2 = 3
a3 – a2 = 8 – 5 = 3
a4 – a3 = 11 – 8 = 3
……………………………………
i.e., d = a2 – a1 = a3 – a2 = a4 – a3 = 3
∴ The resulting list forms an A.P.

Question 5.
Multiply and divide each term of A.P by a fixed number and write the resulting numbers as a list.
4, 7, 10, 13, 16, ……
Multiplying each term by 3, we get
4 × 3, 7 × 3, 10 × 3, 13 × 3, 16 × 3, ……
12, 21, 30, 39, 48, …….
In the list obtained the first term a1 = 12 and a2 = 21, a3 = 30, ….
Also a2 – a1 = a3 – a2 = …… = 9
∴ The resulting list also forms an A.P.
Now divide every term by 7, we get
$$\frac{4}{7}$$, $$\frac{7}{7}$$, $$\frac{10}{7}$$, $$\frac{13}{7}$$, $$\frac{16}{7}$$, …… is the resulting list.

Question 6.
Check whether the resulting lists are AP in each case.
The first term
∴ d = a2 – a1 = a3 – a2 = a4 – a3 = ….. = $$\frac{3}{7}$$
and the above list forms an A.P.

Question 7.
If a1, a2, a3, …… are in A.P, then

i.e., “If each term of an A.P is added/ multiplied / divided by a fixed number, the resulting terms also form an A.P” and fixed term is subtracted from each term of an A.P, then the resulting terms also form an A.P.

Question 1.
i) Which of these are arithmetic progressions and why?  (Page No. 128)
a) 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 15, ……
2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 15, …… is not an A.P.
∵ a2 – a1 = 3 – 2 = 1
a3 – a2 = 5 – 3 = 2
a4 – a3 = 7 – 5 = 2
i.e., The difference between any two successive terms is not same throughout the series.
(or)
Every number is not formed by adding a fixed number to its preceding term.

b) 2, 5, 7, 10, 12, 15 ……
Answer: The given list does not form an A.P, since each term is not obtained by adding a fixed number to its preceding term.

c) -1,-3,-5,-7, ……
a2 – a1 = – 3 – (- 1) = -3 + 1 = -2
a3 – a2 = – 5 – (-3) = -5 + 3 = -2
a4 – a3 = – 7 – (- 5) = -7 + 5 = -2
Every number is formed by adding a fixed number to its preceding term,

ii) Write 3 more Arithmetic Progressions.
a) a = -7;d = -3 and
A.P. is-7, – 10, – 13, – 16, …….
