Question

EXERCISE 5.1
- In which of the following situations, does the list of numbers involved make an arithmetic
progression, and why?
(i) The taxi fare after each km when the fare is * 15 for the first km and 8 for each
additional km.​

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.
