If l, m, n are in arithmetic progression, then the straight line b + my + n = 0 will pass through the point
(- 1, 2)
(1, - 2)
(1, 2)
(2, 1)
Let a = for n = 1, 2, 3 . . . then the greatest value of n for which an is the greatest is
11
20
10
8
C.
10
Given, , n = 1, 2, 3 . . . , here we see
that when we increase the value of n like as 1, 2, 3 . . . the value of a, increases but when we reach at n = 9 or 10 the value of an remain unchanged, ie, minor difference in after decimal places and when we cross the value n = 10 ie, n = 11, then we see that the value of a, is monotonically decreasing.
Hence, an have its maximum value at n = 9 or 10.
