Q24 / 54 · JEE Advanced 2022 (Paper 1) · Mathematics

Let l1,l2...l100 be consecutive terms of an arithmetic progression with common difference d1, and let w1,w2, …,w100 be consecutive terms of another arithmetic progression with common difference d2, where d1d2=10. For each i=1,2,3..........100, let Ri be a rectangle with length li, width wi and area Ai.If A51-A50=1000, then the value of A100-A90 is _______.

Correct answer: 18900

Solution

Given l1,l2...l100 are consecutive terms of an A.P

Now let T1=a and common difference =d1 

And similarly for A.P w1,w2,...w100, T1=b and common difference =d2

Now given, A51-A50=l51w51-l50w50

⇒a+50d1b+50d2-a+49d1b+49d2=1000

⇒50bd1+50ad2+2500d1d2-49ad2-49bd1-2401d1d2=1000

⇒bd1+ad2+99d1d2=1000

So, bd1+ad2=10 as given d1d2=10

Now finding A100-A90=l100w100-l90w90 we get,

=a+99d1b+99d2-a+89d1b+89d2

=99bd1+99ad2+992d1d2-89bd1-89ad2-892d1d2

=10bd1+ad2+1880d1d2

=1010+18800 again using d1d2=10 & bd1+ad2=10

=18900

Hence, the correct answer is 18900.
