JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - 8. sequence and series

Let \(a_1, a_2, a_3, \ldots\) be an A.P. and \(g_1 = a_1, g_2, g_3, \ldots\) be an increasing G.P. If \(a_1 = a_2 + g_2 = 1\) and \(a_3 + g_3 = 4\), then \(a_{10} + g_5\) is equal to:

  1. A \(81\)
  2. B \(76\)
  3. C \(62\)
  4. D \(55\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(55\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the common difference of the A.P. be \(d\) and the common ratio of the G.P. be \(r\). Given \(a_1 = 1\) and \(g_1 = a_1 = 1\). From \(a_2 + g_2 = 1\), we have: \((a_1 + d) + g_1 r = 1\) \(1 + d + r = 1 \Rightarrow d = -r\) From \(a_3 + g_3 = 4\), we have:…
