the first terms of two AP are equal and their common difference is 12 if seventh term is 23 and the 21st term is 25 find the two APS
Answers
Correct Question:-
The first terms of two AP's are equal and their common difference is in the ratio 1 : 2. If the seventh term of first AP is 23 and 21st term of second AP is 125, Find the two AP's.
Answer:-
Let the first term of two AP's be "a" and the common difference of first AP be "d" then common difference of second AP will be "2d".
Given:
7th term of first AP = 23
→ a + (7 - 1)d = 23
→ a + 6d = 23
→ a = 23 - 6d -- equation (1)..
And,
21st term of second AP = 125
→ a + (21 - 1)2d = 125
→ a + 40d = 125
Now putting "a" from equation (1)
→ 23 - 6d + 40d = 125
→ 34d = 125 - 23
→ 34d = 102
→ d = 102/34
→ d = 3
→ Common difference of first AP = 3
→ Common difference of second AP = 2(3) = 6.
Substitute "d" value in equation (1).
→ a = 23 - 6d
→ a = 23 - 6(3)
→ a = 5
First term of two AP's = 5.
Now,
2nd term of first AP = a + (2 - 1)d
→ a(2) = 5 + 3 = 8
→ a(3) = 5 + 2(3) = 11.
Similarly,
2nd term of second AP = 5 + 6 = 11.
→ a(3) = 5 + 2(6) = 17.
Hence, Sequence of first AP is 5 , 8 , 11..... and Sequence of second AP is 5 , 11 , 17.....
