    'Kolam' is a decorative art which is made with rice flour in South Indian States. It is drawn on grid pattern of dots. One such art work is shown below. Observe the given figure carefully. There are 4 dots in first square, 8 dots in second square, 12 dots in third square and so on. Based on the above, answer the following questions :
    37 (i)
    Show that number of dots given above form an A.P. Write the first term and common difference.
    37 (ii)
    Write nthn^{\text{th}} term of the A.P. formed.
    37 (iii) (a)
    The pattern is expanded on a large ground. If total 220 dots are used, then find the number of squares formed.
    37 (iii) (b)
    Is it possible to complete n number of squares using 100 dots ? If yes, then find the value of n.
