Answer:

  • (a) 10, (b) 21, (c) 8, (d) 255, (e) 25

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)Total number of candies = 120

The number of candies in the rows form AP sequence:

  • 3, 5, 7, ...

The first term is a=3 and common difference is d=2

Sum of n terms:

  • S = 1/2n(2a + (n - 1)d)

Substitute values and solve for n:

  • 120 = 1/2n(2*3 + 2(n - 1))
  • 120 = 3n + n² - n
  • n² + 2n = 120
  • n²+ 2n + 1 = 121
  • (n + 1)² = 121
  • n + 1 = 11
  • n = 10

Correct choice is (ii) 10

(b) Formula for nth term:

  • a(n) = a + (n - 1)d
  • a(10) = 3 + 9*2 = 3 + 18 = 21 candies

Correct choice is (ii) 21

(c) Use same formula:

  • a(7) - a(3) = a + 6d - a - 2d = 4d
  • 4d = 4*2 = 8

Correct choice is (i) 8

(d) Sum of candies in 15 rows

  • S(15) = 1/2(15)(2*3 + (15 - 1)*2) = 1/2(15)(6 + 28) = 255

Correct choice is (iii) 255

(e) Number of candies in 12th row:

  • a(12) = 3 + (12 - 1)*2 = 3 + 22 = 25

Correct choice is (iii) 25
