Question

(a) If 3/5 , a, 4 are three consecutive terms of an A.P., then find the value of a.

Answer 1

Given:

If 3/5 , a, 4 are three consecutive terms of an A.P.

Find:

The value of a

Step-by-step explanation:

• In the Arithmetic Progression of consecutive terms the mean of first and last term is equal to the second term .
• so, $(3/5 +4)/2=a$   and then solving for a $a=23/(5\times2) = 23/10=2.3$.

So the value of a is 2.3

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

a=2.3
