24. The sum of first six terms of an.A.P. is 42. The ratio of its 1030th.term is 1:3. Calculate the first and 13th term of the A. Pto

Answer»

S6 =42

a + 9d 1------------ = -------a + 29d 3

cross multiply we get

3a + 27d = a +29 d

2a - 2d = 0 ------------------ (1)its given thatsum of first six terms of ap is 42

therefore

S6 = n/2 ( 2a + (n-1) d)

42 = 6/2 ( 2a + (6-1) d)

42 = 3 (2a + 5d )

14 = 2a +5d

2a +5d = 14 ------------------- (2)

solve eq 1 and 2

2a - 2d = 02a +5d = 14

we getd= 2a = 2---------------13th term of AP= a + (n-1)d

2+ (13-1) 2

= 2+ 24

=26
