Progressive MCQs covering the entire chapter.
Which of the following lists of numbers forms an Arithmetic Progression (AP)?
Exercise 5.3 Q19.
200 logs are stacked in the following manner: 20 logs in the bottom row, 19 in the next row, 18 in the row next to it, and so on.
Find out in how many rows the 200 logs are placed, and how many logs are in the top row.
Provide the exact numerical answers for both parts.
Explain how you set up the AP sum formula and solved the resulting quadratic equation.
Briefly explain why one of the quadratic roots is invalid in this real-world context.
Exercise 5.3 Q20.
In a potato race, a bucket is placed at the starting point, 5 m from the first potato. The other potatoes are placed 3 m apart in a straight line. There are 10 potatoes in total.
A competitor starts from the bucket, picks up the nearest potato, runs back with it, drops it in the bucket, and repeats this for all potatoes. What is the total distance the competitor has to run? Solve step-by-step.
List the first term, common difference, and number of terms (Hint: distance is run twice for each potato).
