in an AP the sum of first 5th term is 55 and fourth term is 5 more than the sum of next two term find AP
Answers
Answer:
Let the 5 terms be (a - 2d), (a - d), a , (a + d), (a + 2d)
Sum of all terms = 5a = 55
⇒ a = 11
4ᵗʰ term = 5 + (1ˢᵗ term + 2ⁿᵈ term)
⇒ a + d = 5 + a - 2d + a - d
⇒ 4d = 5 + a
⇒ d = 16/4 = 4
On substituting the values of a and d we get the terms as 3, 7, 11, 15, 19.

Let assume that
- First term of an AP = a
- Common difference of an AP = d
Now, Given that sum of first 5 terms is 55.
Wᴇ ᴋɴᴏᴡ ᴛʜᴀᴛ,
↝ Sum of n terms of an arithmetic sequence is,
Wʜᴇʀᴇ,
- Sₙ is the sum of n terms of AP.
- a is the first term of the sequence.
- n is the no. of terms.
- d is the common difference.
So, on substituting the values, we get
Now, Further given that fourth term is 5 more than the sum of next two term.
Wᴇ ᴋɴᴏᴡ ᴛʜᴀᴛ,
↝ nᵗʰ term of an arithmetic sequence is,
Wʜᴇʀᴇ,
- aₙ is the nᵗʰ term.
- a is the first term of the sequence.
- n is the no. of terms.
- d is the common difference.
So, using this, we get
On Subtracting equation (1) from equation (2), we get
On substituting d = - 4 in equation (1), we get
Hence, Required AP series is
