Question

The fourth term of an ap is equal to 3 times the first term and seventh term exceeds twice the third term by 1 .find the first term and the common difference

Answer 1

There is an AP, The 4th term is three times the first. So the relation is

3a = a + 3d, or

2a = 3d, or

a = (3/2)d …(1)

The 7th term exceeds twice the third term by 1. The relation is

a+6d = 2(a+2d)+1, or

a + 6d = 2a+4d+1, or

2a-a = 6d-4d-1, or

a = 2d-1 …(2). Equate (1) and (2)

a = (3/2)d = 2d-1, or

3d = 4d-2, or

4d-3d=2, or d = 2 and a = 3.

The first term is 3 and the common difference is 3.

Check: The series of the AP is 3,5,7,9,11,13,15.

The 4th term is 9, which is three times the first term. Correct.

The 7th term is 15, which is twice the third term plus 1. Correct.
