Solution:
Maharashtra Board 11th Commerce Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Sequences and Series Miscellaneous Exercise 4 Q7

Question 8.
Find 2 + 22 + 222 + 2222 + …… upto n terms.
Solution:
Sn = 2 + 22 + 222 +….. upto n terms
= 2(1 + 11 + 111 +…… upto n terms)
= \(\frac{2}{9}\) (9 + 99 + 999 + … upto n terms)
= \(\frac{2}{9}\) [(10 – 1) + (100 – 1) + (1000 – 1) +…… upto n terms]
= \(\frac{2}{9}\) [(10 + 100 + 1000 + … upto n terms) – (1 + 1 + 1 + ….. n times)]
Since, 10, 100, 1000, …… n terms are in G.P.
with a = 10, r = \(\frac{100}{10}\) = 10

Question 9.
Find the nth term of the sequence 0.6, 0.66, 0.666, 0.6666,…..
Solution:
0.6, 0.66, 0.666, 0.6666, ……
∴ t1 = 0.6
t2 = 0.66 = 0.6 + 0.06
t3 = 0.666 = 0.6 + 0.06 + 0.006
Hence, in general
tn = 0.6 + 0.06 + 0.006 + …… upto n terms.
The terms are in G.P.with
a = 0.6, r = \(\frac{0.06}{0.6}\) = 0.1
∴ tn = the sum of first n terms of the G.P.

2, 4, 6, … are in A.P.
∴ rth term = 2 + (r – 1)2 = 2r
6, 9, 12, … are in A.P.
∴ rth term = 6 + (r – 1) (3) = (3r + 3)
∴ 2 × 6 + 4 × 9 + 6 × 12 +…… upto n terms

Solution:
(502 – 492) + (482 – 472) + (462 – 452) + …… + (22 – 12)
= (502 + 482 + 462 + …… + 22) – (492 + 472 + 452 + …… + 12)
= \(\sum_{r=1}^{25}(2 r)^{2}-\sum_{r=1}^{25}(2 r-1)^{2}\)

Solution:
Maharashtra Board 11th Commerce Maths Solutions Chapter 4 Sequences and Series Miscellaneous Exercise 4 Q17

Question 18.
Find k so that k – 1, k, k + 2 are consecutive terms of a G.P.
Solution:
Since k – 1, k, k + 2 are consecutive terms of a G.P.
∴ \(\frac{k}{k-1}=\frac{k+2}{k}\)
∴ k2 = k2 + k – 2
∴ k – 2 = 0
∴ k = 2

Question 19.
If pth, qth and rth terms of a G.P. are x, y, z respectively, find the value of \(x^{q-r} \cdot y^{r-p} \cdot z^{p-q}\).
Solution:
Let a be the first term and R be the common ratio of the G.P.
∴ tn = \(\text { a. } R^{n-1}\)
∴ x = \(\text { a. } R^{p-1}\), y = \(\text { a. } R^{q-1}\), z = \(\text { a. } R^{r-1}\)
