(B) Places A and B are 180 km apart on a highway. One car starts from A and another from B at the
same time. If the car travels in the same direction at different speeds, they meet in 9 hours. If they
travel towards each other with the same speeds as before, they meet in an hour. What are the

SECTION E
12. Ms. Sheela visited a store near her house and found that the glass jars are arranged one above
the other in a specific pattern. On the top layer there are 3 jars. In the next layer there are 6 jars. In
the 3rd layer from the top there are 9 jars and so on till the 8th layer.
(i) Write an A.P whose terms represent the number of jars in different layers starting from
top . Also, find the common difference.
(ii) Is it possible to arrange 34 jars in a layer if this pattern is continued? Justify your answer.
(iii) (A) If there are ‘n’ number of rows in a layer then find the expression for finding the
total number of jars in terms of n. Hence find 𝑆8 .
OR
(iii) (B) The shopkeeper added 3 jars in each layer. How many jars are there in the 5th layer
from the top?
