This is the basic and conceptual question from Chapter name- Arithmetic Progression
Chapter number- 9
Exercise 9.6

In this question we have been given that The sum of first q terms of an A.P. is 63q – 3q2.

Also it is given that  its pth term is –60,

Now we have to find the value of p. Also,  the 11th term of this A.P.

  1. Given Sn = 63q – 3q2,

    On putting n = 1, we get the first term(a), S1 = a = 63(1) – 3(1)2 = 60.

    On putting n = 2 gives S2 = a + a + d = 63(2) – 3(2)2 = 114

    => d = 114 – 2a

    => d = 114 – 120 = –6

    The pth term of the A.P., ap = a + (p – 1)d = –60

    => 60 + (p – 1)(–6) = –60

    => (p – 1)(–6) = –120

    => p – 1 = 20

    => p = 21

    11th term of the A.P., a11 = a+10d

    = 60 + 10(–6)

    = 0

    Hence, the value of p is 21 and 11th term of the A.P. is 0.
