Solution
Consider the A.P. 63, 65, 67, …
a = 63
d = a2 − a1 = 65 − 63 = 2
nth term of this A.P. = an = a + (n − 1)d
an = 63 + (n − 1)2
an = 63 + 2n − 2
an = 61 + 2n ...(1)
3, 10, 17, …
a = 3
d = a2 − a1
= 10 − 3
= 7
nth term of this A.P. = 3 + (n − 1) 7
an = 3 + 7n − 7
an = 7n − 4 ...(2)
It is given that the nth term of these A.P.s is equal to each other.
Equating both these equations, we obtain
61 + 2n = 7n − 4
61 + 4 = 5n
5n = 65
n = 13
Therefore, the 13th terms of both these A.P.s are equal to each other.
