In this video, we solve a Mathematics Problem from Arithmetic Progression (A.P.) / Geometric Progression (G.P.) involving Surds (Square Roots).
The given sequence is:
√2, √8, √18, √32, …
We are asked to find the sum of the first 10 terms of this series.
At first glance, this might seem like a complex square root series — but the key is to simplify each term correctly and identify the pattern.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Let’s simplify the given terms:
√2, √8, √18, √32, …
Now,
√8 = √(4×2) = 2√2
√18 = √(9×2) = 3√2
√32 = √(16×2) = 4√2
Hence, the series becomes:
√2, 2√2, 3√2, 4√2, …
We can see this is an Arithmetic Progression (A.P.) where —
👉 First term (a) = √2
👉 Common difference (d) = √2
So,
General term,
aₙ = a + (n - 1)d
= √2 + (n - 1)√2
= n√2
Formula for the Sum of n terms of an A.P.:
Sₙ = n/2 × [2a + (n - 1)d]
Substitute values:
S₁₀ = 10/2 × [2(√2) + (10 - 1)√2]
= 5 × [2√2 + 9√2]
= 5 × 11√2
= 55√2
Final Answer: (b) 55√2
Simplify square roots first to find a pattern.
Identify if the sequence is an A.P. (constant difference) or G.P. (constant ratio).
Use correct formula for the sum depending on the type of progression.
Important Formulas:
1️⃣ For A.P. →
Tₙ = a + (n - 1)d
Sₙ = n/2 × [2a + (n - 1)d]
2️⃣ For G.P. →
Tₙ = arⁿ⁻¹
Sₙ = a(1 - rⁿ) / (1 - r)
