Find five numbers in an AP , whose sum is 25 and the sum of whose squares is 135
Dear Student,
Solution) Five terms be (a-2d ),(a-d),a,(a+d) and (a+2d)
Therefore, acc. to question,
Sum of terms = 25.
⇒ (a-2d ) + (a-d) + a + (a+d) + (a+2d) = 25
⇒ a-2d + a-d +a + a+d +a +2d =25
⇒ 5a = 25
⇒ a= 5 = first term
It is also given that,
sum of squares of terms of AP = 135
⇒ (a-2d )2+(a-d)2+a2+(a+d)2+(a+2d)2 = 135
Put a = 5, we get,
⇒ (5-2d )2+(5-d)2+52+(5+d)2+(5+2d)2 = 135
