Step-by-step explanation:
5th term of an A.P = 21.
9th term of an A.P = 37.
As we know that,
General term of an A.P.
Tₙ = a + (n - 1)d.
⇒ T₅ = 21.
⇒ a + (5 - 1)d = 21.
⇒ a + 4d = 21 ⇒ (1).
⇒ T₉ = 37.
⇒ a + (9 - 1)d = 37.
⇒ a + 8d = 37 ⇒ (2).
From equation (1) & (2), we get.
⇒ a + 4d = 21.
⇒ a + 8d = 37.
We get,
⇒ - 4d = - 16.
⇒ d = 16/4.
⇒ d = 4.
Put the value of d = 4 in equation (1), we get.
⇒ a + 4d = 21.
⇒ a + 4(4) = 21.
⇒ a + 16 = 21.
⇒ a = 21 - 16.
⇒ a = 5.
First term = a = 5.
Common difference = d = 4.
