Find AP whose 3rd term is 16 and 7th term is more than the 5th term by 12 |
|
Answer» Answer: a = 4 Step-by-step explanation: Let a be the First term, a3 be the third term, a5 be the 5th term and a7 be the 7TH term a3 = 16 a7 = a5 + 12 ............ (1) Let the common difference be "d" Common difference is equal in AP So, a7 = a5 + d + d = a5 + 2d ............(2) From Equation (1) & (2) a5 + 12 = a5 + 2d 2d = 12 d = 6 From Given, we get that a3 = 16 a3 = a + 2d = 16 a + ( 2 × 6 ) = 16 [ We know that d = 6 ] a + 12 = 16 a = 4 So first term is 4 .... We can find AP by adding d continuously So, AP is 4, 10, 16, 22, 28....... Hope it helps !!! |
