33) a1x3 + b1x2 + c1x + d1 = (x2 – 2x + 1) (a1x + d1)

on comparing coefficient of x, we get
c1 = –2d1 + a1 ...(1)
Similarly a2x + b2x + c2x + d2 = (x2 – 2x+1)(a2x + d2)
3 2

⇒ c2 = –2d2 + a2 ...(2)
(1) – (2) ⇒ c1 – c2 = –2(d1 – d2) + (a1 – a2)
or 2(d1 – d2) = (a1 – a2) + (c2 – c1)
Hence a1 – a2, d1 – d2, c2 – c1 are in A.P.

34) a + b, b + c, c + a are in H.P.

⇒
⇒ (2a + b + c)(b + c) = 2(a + b)(c + a)
⇒ (b + c)2 = 2ac + 2a2 + 2bc + 2ab
⇒ (5 – a)2 = 2a2 + 1
⇒ 25 – 10a + a2 = 2a2 + 1
⇒ a2 + 10a – 24 = 0
⇒ Sum of all values of a is '–10'.

Sum

37) 819th term is 13 and 820th term is 14.

∴ S1000 = 13 + 23 +....+ 133 + 14 × 181= 10815
97th term is 7 and 98th term is 7.
38) Let a = a, b = a + x, c = a + 2x, d = a + 3x
where x ∈ I+
⇒ a + 3x = a2 + (a + x)2 + (a + 2x)2
⇒ 3a2 + a(6x – 1) + (5x2 – 3x) = 0 ....(1)
∵ a ∈ I ⇒ D must be perfect square
D = ((6x – 1)2 – 12) (5x2 – 3x) = 1 + 24 × (1 – x) ≤ 1 (∵ x ≥ 1)
but D is a perfect square
∴ x = 1 ∴ (1) ⇒ 3a2 + 5a + 2 = 0

⇒
but a is an integer ⇒ a = –1
∴ a = –1, b = 0, c = 1, d = 2

(Q) =2

⇒
⇒ loga(x + 8).log(x+8)(x + 4) = 2
⇒ loga(x + 4) = 2
⇒ a2 = x + 4
(x – 2)2 = x + 4
x2 + 4 – 4x = x + 4
x2 – 5x = 0
x = 0 (rej.), 5
x=5

(R)
for Qmin.a+b+c ≥ 1+1+ 2
(a–b)2 + (b–c)2 + (c–a)2 ≥ 2
∵ a,b,c ∈ I+

then number of values of x = 4

43) As we know that

Now series is

Let S = =

Thus k = 2

Put value of n is equation (i), (a1 + an) .

45) 4xyz – x4 – y4 – z4 = 1

Consider
