Given that,
↪ AP : 125,120,115,110.....
LET,
- a1 = 125
- a2 = 120
- a3 = 115
- a4 = 110
Common difference (d) = a2 - a1 = a4 - a3
➡ a2 - a1 = 120 - 125 = - 5
➡ a4 - a3 = 110 - 115 = - 5
- a15 = ?
a = 125; n = 15; d = - 5
➡ an = a + (n - 1)d
➡ a15 = 125 + (15 - 1)(-5)
➡ a15 = 125 + 14(-5)
➡ a15 = 125 - 70
➡ a15 = 55
∴ Hence common difference is “ - 5 ” & a15 = 55
