Question 26

The number of common terms in the two sequences: 15, 19, 23, 27, . . . . , 415 and 14, 19, 24, 29, . . . , 464 is

Solution

A: 15, 19, 23, 27, . . . . , 415

B: 14, 19, 24, 29, . . . , 464

Here the first common term = 19

Common difference = LCM of 5, 4=20

19+(n-1)20 $$\le\ $$ 415

(n-1)20 $$\le\ $$ 396

(n-1) $$\le\ $$ 19.8

n=20
