Question:-
For what value of n, are the nth terms of two APs: 63,65, 67, ... and 3, 10, 17,... equal?
Solution:-
Let's find term of both APs
1st AP
63,65,67,...
We know that formula is
= a + (n - 1)d
Here,
a = 63
d = 65 - 63 = 2
By putting these with formula
= a + (n - 1)d
= 63 + (n - 1) × 2
= 63 + 2n - 2
= 61 + 2n
2nd AP
3,10,17,...
As we know that formula is
= a + (n - 1)d
Here,
a = 3
d = 10 - 3 = 7
By putting these with formula
= a + (n - 1)d
= 3 + (n - 1)7
= 3 + 7n - 7
= 7n - 4
Given that
term of 1st AP = term of 2nd AP
61 + 2n = 7n - 4
61 + 4 = 7n - 2n
65 - 5n
= n
13 = n
n = 13
