Question of The Day10-10-2022

If the 5th term of an arithmetic progression is 23 and the 29th term is -52. Then what is the common difference in this arithmetic progression?

Answer

Correct Answer : c ) 29/24

Explanation :

It is given that

5th term of AP = 23

29th term of AP = -52

We know that,

nth term of an AP, Tn = a + (n - 1) * d

where,

a = first term of AP

d = common difference of AP

Tn = nth Term of AP

5th term of AP, 23 = a + 3d ........ (1)

29th term of AP, -52 = a + 28d ........ (2)

Subtracting eq. 1 from eq. 2, we get

-75 = 25d

d = -3

Hence, (c) is the correct answer.
