The minimum taxi fare is 20 for the first km and there after 8 for each
additional km.
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
(i) Fare for first km = Rs. 15
Fare for second km = Rs. 15+8= Rs 23
Fare for third km = Rs. 23+8=31
Here, each subsequent term is obtained by adding a fixed number (8) to the previous term.
Hence, it is in A.P.
(ii) Let us assume, initial quantity of air =1 .....1)
Therefore, quantity removed in first step =

Here, each subsequent term is not obtained by adding a fixed number to the previous term.
Hence, it is not an AP.
(iii) Cost of digging of 1
st
meter =150
Cost of digging of 2
nd
meter =150+50=200
Cost of digging of 3
rd
meter =200+50=250
Here, each subsequent term is obtained by adding a fixed number (50) to the previous term.
Hence, it is an AP.
(iv) Amount in the beginning = Rs. 10000
Interest at the end of 1
st
year @ 8% = 10000×8%=800
Thus, amount at the end of 1
st
year =10000+800=10800
Interest at the end of 2
nd
year @ 8% = 10800×8%=864
Thus, amount at the end of 2
nd
year =10800+864=11664
Since, each subsequent term is not obtained by adding a fixed number to the previous term; hence, it is not an AP.
