Answer»

Let the first term and the common difference of the A.P areaanddrespectively.

Since the A.P contains 37 terms. So, the middle most term is (37+1)/2 th term = 19thterm.

Thus, three middle most terms of this A.P.are 18th, 19thand 20thterms.

Givena18+a19+a20= 225

⇒ (a+ 17d) + (a+ 18d) + (a+ 19d) = 225

⇒ 3(a+ 18d) = 225

⇒a+ 18d= 75

⇒a= 75 – 18d… (1)According to given information

a35+a36+a37= 429

⇒ (a+ 34d) + (a+ 35d) + (a+ 36d) = 429

⇒ 3(a+ 35d) = 429

⇒ (75 – 18d) + 35d= 143

⇒ 17d= 143 – 75 = 68

⇒d= 4

Substituting the value ofdin equation (1), it is obtained

a= 75 – 18 × 4 = 3

Thus, the A.P. is 3, 7, 11, 15 …
