The common difference of the A.P. b_1,b_2, ... .,b_m is 2 more than the common difference of A.P. a_1,a_2, ... ,a_n. If a_40 = - 159,a_100 = - 399 and b_100 = a_70, then b_1 is equal to

a_1, a_2, ... , a_n -> (C D=d) \ b_1, b_2, ... , b_m -> (C D=d+2) \ a_40=a+39 d=-159 \ a_100=a+99 d=-399 ... (1) Subtract : 60 d=-240 => d=-4 using equation (1) a+39(-4)=-159 \ a=156-159=-3 \ a_70=a+69 d=-3+69(-4)=-279=b_100 \ b_100=-279 \ b_1+99(d+2)=-279 \ b_1-198=-279 => b_1=-81

The common difference of the A.P. b_{1},b_{2},.,b_{m} i... | Sequence & Series (Mathematics)

\begin{aligned} & a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n \rightarrow(C D=d) \\ & b_1, b_2, \ldots, b_m \rightarrow(C D=d+2) \\ & a_{40}=a+39 d=-159 \\ & a_{100}=a+99 d=-399 \ldots(1) \end{aligned}

Subtract :

60 \mathrm{~d}=-240 \Rightarrow \mathrm{~d}=-4

using equation (1)

\begin{aligned} & a+39(-4)=-159 \\ & a=156-159=-3 \\ & a_{70}=a+69 d=-3+69(-4)=-279=b_{100} \\ & b_{100}=-279 \\ & b_1+99(d+2)=-279 \\ & b_1-198=-279 \Rightarrow b_1=-81 \end{aligned}

Explanation

Let a_{1},a_{2},,a_{n} be a given A.P. whose common difference is an integer and S_{n} = a_{1} + a_{2} + + a_{n}. If a_{1} = 1,a_{n} = 300 and 15 \leq n \leq 50, then the ordered pair ( S_{n - 4},a_{n - 4} ) is equal to

Let a_{1},a_{2},a_{3},. be a G.P. of increasing positive numbers. Let the sum of its 6^{{th}{~}} and 8^{{th}{~}} terms be 2 and the product of its 3^{{rd}{~}} and 5^{{th}{~}} terms be 1/9. Then 6( a_{2} + a_{4} )( a_{4} + a_{6} ) is equal to

For any odd integer n ? 1,n^{3} - (n - 1)^{3} + + ( - 1)^{n - 1}1^{3} =

The sum of the first n terms of the series (1^{2} + 2.2^{2} + 3^{2} + 2.4^{2} + 5^{2} + 2 . 6^{2} + ..) is (\frac{n(n + 1)^{2}}{2}, when n is even. when n is odd, the sum is

Let a,b be two non-zero real numbers. If p and r are the roots of the equation x^{2} - 8ax + 2a = 0 and q and s are the roots of the equation \end{enumerate} x^{2} + 12bx + 6b = 0, such that \frac{1}{p},\frac{1}{q},\frac{1}{r},\frac{1}{s} are in A.P., then a^{- 1} - b^{- 1} is equal to

If a_{1},a_{2},a_{3}, are in A.P. such that a_{1} + a_{7} + a_{16} = 40, then the sum of the first 15 terms of this A.P. is

Let \frac{1}{x_{1}},\frac{1}{x_{2}},,\frac{1}{x_{n}}( x_{i} eq 0 .\ for . \ i = 1,2,,n ) be in A.P. such that x_{1} = 4 and x_{21} = 20. If n is the least positive integer for which x_{n} > 50, then \sum_{i = 1}^{n}\mspace{2mu}( \frac{1}{x_{i}} ) is equal to

Let 3,a,b,c be in A.P. and 3,a - 1,b + 1,c + 9 be in G.P. Then, the arithmetic mean of a,b and c is
