10 class math airthmatic progessions excerise 5.1
 Excerise no 5.1    1) In which of the following situations, does the list of number involved makes as airthmatic progessions and why ?         A) the taxi fare after each km when the fare is RS 15 for the first km and RS 8 for each additional km      Answer        It can be observed that    Taxi fare for 1st km = 15     Taxi fare for first 2nd km = 15+8 = 23   taki fare for first 3rd km  = 23+8 = 31   Taki fare for first 4 km    =31+8 = 39       Clearly 15, 23, 31, 39 form an A.P. because every term is 8 more than preceding term.     B) the amount of air present in the cylinder when a vaccum pump remove 1/4 À of the air remaining in the cylinder at a time     Answer      Let the initial volume of air in a cylinder by V litres . In each stock the vaccum pump remove À 1/4 À of air remaining in the cylinder at a time . In other words after every Stoke only 1- 1/4 = 3/4 Part of air will remain     Therefore volume will be V, 3V/4 , (3V...
