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 beΒ $$a_{n}$$ = a + (n-1)d then we haveΒ
$$a_{7}$$ = a + (7-1)dΒ Β Β
$$a_{7}$$ = a + 6dΒ Β Β Β Β Β Β equation 1
$$a_{11}$$ = a + (11-1)dΒ Β Β
$$a_{11}$$ = a + 10d Β Β Β Β Β Β equation 2Β
now eq2 - eq1Β
we getΒ 4d = 16Β thenΒ d = 4Β Β put the value in eq 1Β
we getΒ aΒ = 31Β
so the 15^(th) term will beΒ
$$a_{15}$$ = 31 + (15-1)4Β
$$a_{15}$$ = 63Β answerΒ
