Question

14. The taxi fare after each kilometre, when the
fare is rs.15 for the first kilometre and rs.8 for each
additional kilometre, does not form an AP as the total
fare (in rs) after each kilometre is 15,8,8,8,......... Is the
statement true? Give reasons.​

Answer 1

Answer:

We can write the given condition as;

Taxi fare for 1 km = 15

Taxi fare for first 2 kms = 15+8 = 23

Taxi fare for first 3 kms = 23+8 = 31

Taxi fare for first 4 kms = 31+8 = 39

And so on……

Thus, 15, 23, 31, 39 … forms an A.P. because every next term is 8 more than the preceding term.
