Answer:
64 / 63
Step-by-step explanation:
nth term of any AP is given by a + ( n - 1 )d, where a is the first term and d is the common difference between the terms.
Here, let the first term be a and common difference be d.
⇒ 7th term = 1 / 9
⇒ a + ( 7 - 1 )d = 1 / 9
⇒ a + 6d = 1 / 9
⇒ a = 1 / 9 - 6d
⇒ 9th term = 1 / 7
⇒ a + ( 9 - 1 )d = 1 / 7
⇒ a + 8d = 1 / 7
Value of a from above,
⇒ 1 / 9 - 6d + 8d = 1 / 7
⇒ 8d - 6d = 1 / 7 - 1 / 9
⇒ 2d = ( 9 - 7 ) / 63
⇒ 2d = 2 / 63
⇒ d = 1 / 63
Hence,
a = 1 / 9 - 6d
= 1 / 9 - 6 / 63
= ( 7 - 6 ) / 63
= 1 / 63
Therefore,
⇒ 64th term
= 1 / 63 + ( 64 - 1 )( 1 / 63 )
= 1 / 63 + ( 63 )( 1 / 63 )
= 1 / 63 + 1
= ( 1 + 63 ) / 63
= 64 / 63
