Appropriate Question :
If the 7th term and 13 th term of A.P. are 34 and 64 respectively. Find the 18 th term.
Required Answer :
The 18th term of A.P. = 89
Given :
- The 7th term of A.P. = 34
- The 13th term of A.P. = 64
To find :
- The 18th term of A.P.
Solution :
Formula to be used :
- tₙ = a + (n - 1)d
⇒ t₇ = a + (7 - 1)d = 34
⇒ t₇ = a + 6d = 34 -------(1)
⇒ t₁₃ = a + (13 - 1)d = 64
⇒ t₁₃ = a + 12d = 64 -----(2)
Solving (1) and (2) :
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀a + 6d = 34
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀a + 12d = 64
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀-⠀-⠀⠀⠀⠀-
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀____________
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀- 6d = - 30
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀____________
⇒ - 6d = - 30
⇒ 6d = 30
⇒ d = 5
Substituting the value of d in equation 1 :
⇒ a + 6d = 34
⇒ a + 6(5) = 34
⇒ a + 30 = 34
⇒ a = 34 - 30
⇒ a = 4
Therefore,
- The common difference (d) = 5
- The first term of A.P. (a) = 4
Calculating the 18th term of A.P. :
⇒ tₙ = a + (n - 1)d
⇒ t₁₈ = 4 + (18 - 1)5
⇒ t₁₈ = 4 + (17)5
⇒ t₁₈ = 4 + 85
⇒ t₁₈ = 89
Therefore, the 18th term of A.P. = 89
Answer:
◇◇Perfect question :-
- If the 7th term and 13th term of an Ap are 34 and 64 respectively, find 18th terms of an Ap
◇◇Given:-
- 7th terms of an AP is 34
- 13th terms of an AP is 64 .
◇◇To prove :-
- 18th term of an AP .
♧♧Explanation :-
a+6d=34 (i)
( - )a +12d=64
-6d=-30
d=-30/-6
d=+5.
♧♧Let , substitute the value of d =+5 on 1st equation ,
- a+6d =34
- a+6 (5)=34
- a +30=34
- a =34-30
- a = +4.
♤Here we should find 18th terms of an AP .
▪18th term of an AP
t18= a+17d
t18= 4+17 (5)
t18= 89.
