Information given to us:
- 30 students stands in the first row
- 27 students stands in second row
- 24 students stands in third row
- 6 students in last row
What we have to calculate:
- Number of rows and total number of students?
Finding out common difference:
- 27 - 30 = -3
- 24 - 27 = -3
Therefore, common difference is -3
Calculations for number of rows:-
Using Formula,
- l = a + (n - 1) d
It's an A.P. where,
- a is first term
- l is last term
- d is common difference
- n is number of terms
Again we have,
- First term (a) is 30
- Common difference (d) is -3
We don't know about number of terms (n)
Let us find out!
Substituting the values:
- ➳30 + (n - 1)-3 = 6
- ➳ 30 + (n - 1) × -3 = 6
- ➳30 - 3n + 3 = 6
- ➳ 30 - 3n = 6 - 3
- ➳ 30 - 3n = 3
- ➳ -3n = 3 - 30
- ➳ -3n = -27
- ➳ -n = -9
- ➳ n = 9
Thus, there are 9 rows.
Total number of students:-
Using Formula,
Sum of n terms of an A.P.:
Where,
- a is first term
- d is common difference
- n is number of terms
Again we have,
- Number of terms (n) is 9
- Common difference (d) is -3
Substituting the values in the formula:
Hence,
- Number of rows are 9 and total number of students are 162
More information:
- Arithmetic progression (A.P.) is a sequence in which each term can be found by adding a certain quantity to its preceding term
- Difference between two consecutive terms is called common difference
- Progression means it's a type of sequence in which each term is related to its predecessor and successor.
Given :-
→ Students stand in first row = 30.
→ Students stand in second row = 27.
→ Students stand in third row = 20.
→ Students stand in last row = 6.
▶To find :-
→ The total number of students.
▶ Solution :-
To obtain the total number of students, we have to add the numbers of students stands in each row .
So, Total number of students = Students stand in first row + Students stand in second row + Students stand in third row + Students stand in last row .
= 30 + 27 + 20 + 6 .
= 83.
