If a, b and c are in arithmetic progression, then the roots of the equation ax - 2bx + c = 0 are
Let the coefficients of powers of x in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th terms in the expansion of (1 + x)n, where n is a positive integer, be in arithmetic progression. Then, the sum of the coefficients of odd powers of x in the expansion is
32
64
128
256
Six numbers are in AP such that their sum is 3. The first term is 4 times the third term. Then, the fifth term is
- 15
- 3
9
- 4
D.
- 4
Let the numbers be
a - 5d, a - 3d, a - d, a + d, a + 3d, a + 5d
a - 5d + a - 3d + a - d + a + d + a + 3d + a + 5d = 3
Also, given T1 = 4T3, where T1, T3 are respectively, first and the third term of AP.
