Question

if p+2,3p and 4p+1 are in A.P find p

Answer 1

Hey

Here is your answer,

A.P : p+2 , 3p , 4p+1 ......

First term , a = p+2
Second term = 3p
Third term = 4p+1

Second term - first term = third term - second term
3p-p-2 = 4p+1-3p
2p-2 = p+1
2p-p = 1+2
p=3

p+2 = 3+2 = 5
3p = 3x3 = 9
4p+1 = 12+1 = 13

Hope it helps you!
