the third picture is the answer of 2nd and 2nd picture is the answer of 3rd
Answer:
(i) a = 10, d = 10
Let us consider, the Arithmetic Progression series be a1, a2, a3, a4, a5 …
a1 = a = 10
a2 = a1 + d = 10 + 10 = 20
a3 = a2 + d = 20 + 10 = 30
a4 = a3 + d = 30 + 10 = 40
a5 = a4 + d = 40 + 10 = 50
And so on…
Therefore, the A.P. series will be 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 …
And First four terms of this A.P. will be 10, 20, 30, and 40.
(ii) a = – 2, d = 0
Let us consider, the Arithmetic Progression series be a1, a2, a3, a4, a5 …
a1 = a = -2
a2 = a1 + d = – 2 + 0 = – 2
a3 = a2 + d = – 2 + 0 = – 2
a4 = a3 + d = – 2 + 0 = – 2
Therefore, the A.P. series will be – 2, – 2, – 2, – 2 …
And, First four terms of this A.P. will be – 2, – 2, – 2 and – 2.
(iii) a = 4, d = – 3
Let us consider, the Arithmetic Progression series be a1, a2, a3, a4, a5 …
a1 = a = 4
a2 = a1 + d = 4 – 3 = 1
a3 = a2 + d = 1 – 3 = – 2
a4 = a3 + d = – 2 – 3 = – 5
Therefore, the A.P. series will be 4, 1,- 2, – 5 …
And, the first four terms of this A.P. will be 4, 1, – 2 and – 5.
