plz solve :
t5/8-120 = t3/8
OR
t3/8+120 = t5/8
Basilisk:
Is it A.p or G.p

t3/8+120 = t5/8
5T/8 - 3T/8 = 120
2T/8 = 120
T/4 = 120
T=480
5T/8 - 3T/8 = 120
2T/8 = 120
T/4 = 120
T=480

If the given problem corresponds to Arithmetic progression
then
tn = a + ( n - 1 ) d
where a = first term
d = common difference
t5 = a + 4d
t3 = a + 2d
now t5/8 -120 = t3/8
multiply the equation by 8 on both sides
then
a+4d - 960 = a+ 2d
a+4d -960 -a -2d =0
2d =960
d= 960 /2
=480
we know the series in A.p are a, a+d, a+2d, a+3d,...etc
by hit and trial method let a=40 then the sequence becomes
40,520,1000,1480,1960,2440,(a+6d),....,a+(n-1)d.
