An AP consists of 50 terms of which 3rd term is 12 and the last term is 106. Find the 29th term.
Which term of the AP : 3, 15, 27, 39, . . . will be 132 more than its 54th term?
Given A.P. is : 3, 15,27,39.....
Here a1 = 3, a2 = 15
a3 = 27, a4 = 39
d = a2 – a1 = 15 – 3 = 12
a54 = a (54 – 1)d
= 3 + 53 x 12
= 3 + 636 = 639
Let ntn term be 132 more than a54 We know that,
an = a + (n - 1)d
a54 + 132 = a + (n - 1)d
639 + 132 = 3 + (n - 1) x 12
771 - 3 = 12(n - 1)
768 = 12(n - 1)
Two APs have the same common difference. The difference between their 100th terms is 100, what is the difference between their 1000th terms?
