SEBA CLASS 10 MATHS CHAPTER 5 MCQ (ARITHMETIC PROGRESSIONS) 

An arithmetic progression (AP) is a sequence of numbers in which the difference between a number and the next one (i.e consecutive numbers) is always the same. 

The 1st term or number of AP is donated by a and the number of terms by n. This difference or common difference is usually denoted by the letter d.

For example, the sequence 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 is an arithmetic progression with a common difference of 2. The 1st term is 1 and the number of terms is 5.

The nth term of an arithmetic progression with first term a and common difference d is given by the formula:

a_n = a + (n-1)d

The sum of n terms of an arithmetic progression is given by:

 S_n = n/2 * (2a + (n-1)d)

If l is the last term of the finite AP, say the nth term, then the sum of all terms of the AP

is given by :

 S_n = n/2 * (a + l)

Some of the important properties of arithmetic progressions are:

• The product of the first and last term of an arithmetic progression is given by: 
• a * l = a*(a + (n-1)d)
• The sum of an arithmetic progression is infinite if the common difference is a fraction.
