If the (n)th term of an AP is (a_n=9n+2), what is the value of (a_{11}-a_5)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (54)

The direct answer is B, 54. We are given the general term \(a_n=9n+2\). Substitute the required positions separately: \(a_{11}=9(11)+2=99+2=101\), and \(a_5=9(5)+2=45+2=47\). Therefore \(a_{11}-a_5=101-47=54\). We can also see that the coefficient of n is the common difference, so \(d=9\); the positions differ by \(11-5=6\), giving \(6d=6\times9=54\). Option A, 45, is only part of the calculation and equals \(9\times5\). Option B, 54, is correct. Option C, 63, uses an incorrect position difference or extra amount. Option D, 72, also overcounts the difference. Always substitute the complete expression, including the constant +2, or use the position difference carefully.
