The Fourth term of an Arithmetic Progression is 37 and the Sixth term is 12 more than the Fourth term. What is the sum of the Second and Eight terms?

First 3-digit number divisible by 6 is 102 and last 3-digit number divisible by 6 is 996.
Difference between two consecutive numbers divisible by 6 is 6.
So 3-digit numbers divisible by 6 are 102,108,114, ......., 996.
This is an Arithmetic Progression in which a = 102, d = 6 and l = 996.
where a = First Number , l = Last Number and d = difference of two consecutive numbers.
Let the number of terms be n. So Last term = t_n
Then t_n = 996
Use the formula for n terms of arithmetic progression.
? a + ( n - 1) x d = 996
? 102 + (n - 1) x 6 = 996
? 6(n - 1) = 894
? (n - 1) = 149
? n = 150
? Numbers of terms = 150

According to the question,
Every day adding 1 rs extra to previous day.
Let us assume after n day, total saving will become perfect square.
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 +.......................+ t_n.
Apply the algebra A.P formula,
sum of total rupees after n days = n(n+1)/2
Hit and trail method, Put the value of n = 2 , 3 , 4, 5 .... and so on to get the perfect square.
If n = 2
n(n+1)/2 = 2 x 3 / 2 = 3 which is not perfect Square.
If n = 3
n(n+1)/2 = 3 x 4 / 2 = 6 which is not perfect Square.
If n = 4
n(n+1)/2 = 4 x 5 / 2 = 10 which is not perfect Square.
If n = 5
n(n+1)/2 = 5 x 6 / 2 = 15 which is not perfect Square.
If n = 6
n(n+1)/2 = 6 x 7 / 2 = 21 which is not perfect Square.
If n = 7
n(n+1)/2 = 7 x 8 / 2 = 28 which is not perfect Square.
If n = 8
n(n+1)/2 = 8 x 9 / 2 = 36 which is perfect Square.

n(n+1)/2 should be a perfect square . The first value of n when this occurs would be for n = 8. thus , on the 8th of March of the required condition would come true.

Let us assume the first installment is a and difference between two consecutive installments is d.
According to question,
Sum of 40 Installments = 3600
Apply the formula Sum of first n terms in an Arithmetic Progression = S_n = n/2[ 2a + (n?1)d ]
where a = the first term, d = common difference, n = number of terms.
n/2[ 2a + (n?1)d ] = 3600
Put the value of a, n and d from question,
40/2[ 2a + (40 ?1)d ] = 3600
20[ 2a + 39d ] = 3600
[ 2a + 39d ] = 3600/20 = 180
2a + 39d = 180...........................(1)

Again according to given question,
After paying the 30 installments the unpaid amount = 1/3(total unpaid amount) = 3600 x 1/3
After paying the 30 installments the unpaid amount = 1200
So After paying the 30 installments the paid amount = 3600 - 1200 = 2400
Sum of 30 installments = 2400
30/2[ 2a + (30 ?1)d ] = 2400
[ 2a + (30 ?1)d ] = 2400 x 2/30
2a + 29d = 80 x 2 = 160
2a + 29d = 160..........................(2)
Subtract the Eq. (2) from Eq. (1), we will get
2a + 39d - 2a - 29d = 180 - 160
10d = 20
d = 2
Put the value of d in Equation (1), we will get
2a + 39 x 2 = 180
2a = 180 - 78
a = 102/2
a = 51
The value of first installment = a = 51

Let us assume the second number is a and the difference between consecutive numbers is d.
According to Arithmetic progression,
First number = a - d
Second number = a
Third number = a + d
According to question,
Sum of the all three numbers = 15
a - d + a + a + d = 15
3a = 15
a = 5
Again according to given question,
sum of square of the 3 numbers = 83
(a - d) ² + a ² + (a + d) ² = 83
apply the algebra formula
a ² + d ² - 2ad + a ² + a ² + d ² + 2ad = 83
3a ² + 2d ² = 83
Put the value of a in above equation.
3 x 5 ² + 2d² = 83
3 x 25 + 2d² = 83
75 + 2d² = 83
2d ² = 83 - 75
2d ² = 8
d ² = 8/2
d ² = 4
d = 2
Put the value of a and d in below equation.
First number = a - d = 5 - 2 = 3
Second number = a = 5
Third number = a + d = 5 + 2 = 7
The smallest number is 3.

According to given question,
First day 1 rs, second day 2 rs, third day 4 rs.....
1 , 2 , 4............ and so on
The given series is in geometric progression (GP).
1, 2¹, 2²,.............
Sum of first n terms in a geometric progression(GP)
S_n = a (rⁿ ? 1) /(r ?1)
if r > 1 and where a= the first term, r = common ratio,n = number of terms
As per the given question a = 1 , r = 2 and n = 20;
S_n = 1(2²⁰ ? 1) /(2 ?1)
S_n = (2²⁰ ? 1) /1
S_n = (2²⁰ ? 1)
S_n = 2²⁰ ? 1
