If seventh and eleventh terms of an arithmetic progression are 31 and 47 respectively. then fifteenth termis
Let a and d are first term and common difference of an A.P.
$$n^{th}$$ term will be $$a_{n}$$ = a + (n-1)d then we haveÂ
$$a_{7}$$ = a + (7-1)d  Â
$$a_{7}$$ = a + 6d       equation 1
$$a_{11}$$ = a + (11-1)d  Â
$$a_{11}$$ = a + 10d       equation 2Â
now eq2 - eq1Â
we get 4d = 16 then d = 4  put the value in eq 1Â
we get a = 31Â
so the 15^(th) term will beÂ
$$a_{15}$$ = 31 + (15-1)4Â
$$a_{15}$$ = 63Â answerÂ
