Let be the term of an A.P. If , and , then is equal to :
- A65
- B56
- C70
- D64
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
-
For an A.P., let first term be and common difference be .
Then: and
-
Given: So,
-
Also given: Using sum formula,
-
Subtract (2) from (1):
-
Put in (2):
-
Now use :
-
Solve the quadratic: Discriminant:
So,
Positive value:
-
Therefore,
-
Checking options:
- A: ❌
- B: ❌
- C: ❌
- D: ✅
Hence, the required term is .
