Question
If the 7th and 13th terms of an AP are 34 and 64, then its 18th term is ___.
Answer: Option C
:
C
The nth term of an AP of first term a and common difference d is
an=a+(n−1)d.⇒a7=a+6d=34−−−(1) a13=a+12d=64−−−(2)(2) − (1)⇒6d=30 ⇒d=5Substituting d = 5 in (1), we get a=4.∴a18=a+17d=4+(17)5=89
