 3. (a) y + 2x, 2y + 2x, 3y + 2x,

d1 = 2y + 2x (y + 2x)
=y
d2 = 3y + 2x (2y + 2x)
=y
Since d1 = d2, therefore it is an
arithmetic progression and d = y.

(b) L = 120 cm, x = 2 cm, y = 3 cm

8 [2(y + 2x) + 7y]
S8 =
2
= 4[2(3 + 4) + 7(3)]
= 4(14 + 21)
= 140 cm
No, it is short by 20 cm.
10 [2(7) + 9(3)]
(c) S10 =
2
= 5(14 + 27)
= 205 cm
