two aps have same common difference if difference their 50 term is 50 find the difference of their 100 terms is
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
- The common difference of two A.P is the same
- Difference of their 50th terms is 50
- Difference of their 100th terms
→ Let the common difference of the two A.Ps be d
→ Let the first term of first A.P be a
→ Let the first term of second A.P be A
→ The 50th term of the first A.P is given by
a₅₀ = a₁ + (50 - 1) × d
a₅₀ = a₁ + 49 d ---(1)
→ The 50th term of the second A.P is given by
A₅₀ = A₁ + (50 - 1) × d
A₅₀ = A₁ + 49 d -----(2)
→ By given,
equation 2 - equation 1 = 50
→ Hence,
A₁ + 49 d - (a₁ + 49 d )= 50
→ Cancelling 49 d we get,
A₁ - a₁ = 50 -----(1)
→ Now the difference between their hundredth terms is given by
A₁ + 99d - a₁ - 99d
→ Cancelling 99 d we get
Difference between 100th terms = A₁ - a₁
→ Substitute the value from equation 1
Difference between 100th terms = 50
→ Hence the difference between the 100th terms of the A.P is 50
→ The nth term of an A.P is given by
→ The common difference of an A.P is given by
