If 8th term of an ap is 31 and 15th term is 16 more than 11th term find ap

Answered by admin @



Answer:

Required A.P: 3,7,11,15,...

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a and d are first term and common difference of an A.P.

 We \:know \: that,\\n^{th}\:term (a_{n}) = a+(n-1)d

 Given \: 8^{th}\: term =31\\

\implies  a+(8-1)d=31\\\implies   a+7d=31\:---(1)

According to the problem given, we get

 a_{15}-a_{11}=16

\implies a+14d-(a+10d)=16

\implies a+14d-a-10d=16

\implies 4d=16

\implies d =\frac{16}{4}=4

/* Substitute d = 4 in equation (1), we get

 a+7\times 4 = 31

\implies a+28=31

\implies a = 31-28=3

Now, Required A.P:

a,a+d,a+2d,a+3d,....,

3,3+4,3+8,3+12,...,

3,7,11,15,...
