For what value of n, are the nth terms of two APs: 63, 65, 67, . . . and 3, 10, 17, . . . equal?

Given A .P.s are :
63, 65, 67, ... and 3, 10, 17, ...
Here, a₁ = 63, a₂ = 65, a₃ = 67, ....
and 6, = 3, b₂ = 10, b₃ = 17.....
Let d₁ and d₂ be the common differences of two given A .P.s respectively. Then
d₁ = 65 – 63 = 67 – 65 = 2
and d₂ = 10 – 3 = 17 – 10 = 7
Now, nth term of the 1st A .P. = a₁ + (n – 1)d₁and nth term of the Ilnd A.P. = b₁ + (n – 1 )d₂∵ nth terms of the given two A .P.s are equal.

Hence, the required value of n = 13.
