उत्तर
Given:
Let the first term of the A.P. be a and the common difference be d.
\[a_4 = 3a\]
\[ \Rightarrow a + \left( 4 - 1 \right)d = 3a\]
\[ \Rightarrow a + 3d = 3a\]
\[ \Rightarrow 3d = 2a\]
\[ \Rightarrow a = \frac{3d}{2} . . . (i)\]
\[\text { And,} a_7 - 2 a_3 = 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow a + \left( 7 - 1 \right)d - 2\left[ a + \left( 3 - 1 \right)d \right] = 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow a + 6d - 2(a + 2d) = 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow a + 6d - 2a - 4d = 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow - a + 2d = 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow - \frac{3d}{2} + 2d = 1 \left[ \text { From } (i) \right] \]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{- 3d + 4d}{2} = 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{d}{2} = 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow d = 2\]
\[\text { Putting the value in (i), we get }: \]
\[a = \frac{3 \times 2}{2}\]
\[ \Rightarrow a = 3\]
