Most Important Selected Qs for JEE AdvancedMathematicsSequences and Series
If a₁, a₂, , a_n is a sequence of positive numbers which are in A.P. with common difference d and a₁+a₄+a₇+ .+a₁₆=147 then a₁+a₁₆=M and a₁+a₆+a₁₁+a₁₆=N Maximum value of a₁ a₂ . a₁₆= ( S W )¹⁶ (where S and W are coprime), then:
Options
- AM=49
- BN=98
- CS=49
- DW=2
Correct answer
D. W=2
Step-by-step solution
Using, A.M. G.M. a_i 16 (a₁ a₂ a₁₆ )^ 1 / 16 a₁ a₂ a₁₆ ( a₁+a₂+ a₁₆ 16 )¹⁶ ( 392 16 )¹⁶ ( 49 2 )¹⁶ S=49 and W=2 6 2 (2 a+5 3 d)=1472 a+15 d=49 ...(1) 2 a+15 d=M=49 Also, 4 2 (2 a+3 5 d)=N ; (2 a+15 d) 2=N N=98
