Hi ,

Let a and d are first term and common

difference of an A.P

nth term = an

an = a + ( n - 1 ) d

according to the problem given,

a3 = 13

a + ( 3 - 1 )d= 13

a + 2d = 13 ---( 1 )

a11 = 25

a + ( 11 - 1 ) d = 25

a + 10d = 25 ---( 2 )

subtract ( 1 ) from ( 2 ) , we get

8d = 12

d = 12 / 8

d = 3/ 2

put d = 3/2 in ( 1 )

a + 2× ( 3/2 ) = 13

a + 3 = 13

a = 13 - 3

a = 10

Therefore ,

a = 10 , d = 3/2

a7 = a + ( 7 - 1 ) d

= a + 6d

= 10 + 6 × ( 3/2 )

= 10 + 9

a7 = 19

I hope this helps you.
