The first AP is 5,8,11..
The second AP is 5,11,17..
Step-by-step explanation:
let the first term be a
common difference be d
a7 = 23
a+6d = 23
a= 23-6d ..(1)
for the second AP
let common difference be y
a21 = 125
a+20y = 125 ..(2)
putting the value of a from 1 in 2
a+20y = 125
23-6d+20y=125
20y-6d=102
10y - 3d =51..(3)
ratio given
place the vale in equation 3 we get
10y-3d=51
10(2x) -3(x) = 51
20x-3x=51
17x=51
x =
x = 3
hence , d= 3
and y = 2(3) = 6
now ,
a+6d =23
putting the value of d we get
a=5
therefore , The first AP is 5,8,11..
The second AP is 5,11,17..
