Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given The 19th term of an ap is equal to 3 times its 6th term and ninth term is 19 find the AP
Let a be the first term and d will be the common difference.
Now given a19 = 3 a6
So a + 18 d = 3(a + 5d) (an = a + (n-1)d)
a + 18d = 3a + 15d
2a = 3d---------- 1
Also a9 = 19
a + 8d = 19----------2
From 1 and 2 we get
3d/2 + 8d = 19
19d = 38
d = 2
Put d = 2 in 1 we get
2a = 3 x 2
a = 3
Now a2 = a + d = 3 + 2 = 5
a 3 = a + 2d = 3 + 2 x 2 = 7
The AP will be 3,5,7,9……
