Next term of the AP √2, 3√2, 5√2, ……. is
(a) 2√7
(6) 6√2
(c) 9√2
(d) 7√2
Answers
Answer:
7√2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
√2, 3√2, 5√2, ……. is an AP series
To find,
Next term, i.e fourth term of the given AP series
Solution,
From the given AP series,
a (First term) = √2
We know that common difference (d) can be found out by taking the difference between the second and first term of the AP series.
d (Common difference) = 3√2 - √2
We know that tn term in an AP series is given by,
Applying the above formula to find the fourth term,
Here we have to find fourth term so instead of n we have put 4 and we have to subtisute the values of a and d
Hence the fourth term of the given AP series is 7√2
Hence option d is correct.
SOLUTION
TO CHOOSE THE CORRECT OPTION
Next term of the AP √2, 3√2, 5√2 …. is
(a) 2√7
(6) 6√2
(c) 9√2
(d) 7√2
CONCEPT TO BE IMPLEMENTED
If in an arithmetic progression
First term = a
Common difference = d
Then nth term of the AP
= a + ( n - 1 )d
EVALUATION
Here the given arithmetic progression is
√2, 3√2, 5√2, …
First term = a = √2
Second Term = 3√2
Third term = 5√2
Common Difference
= d
= 3√2 - √2
= 2√2
Hence the required next term of the AP
= 4th term of the AP
= a + 3d
= √2 + 6√2
= 7√2
FINAL ANSWER
Hence the correct option is (d) 7√2
