In an AP, (a_5=27) and (a_{13}=67). What is the value of (a_{21})?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (107)

The direct answer is D, 107. In an AP, the difference between two terms equals the difference in their positions multiplied by the common difference. From the given values, \(a_{13}-a_5=67-27=40\), while the position difference is \(13-5=8\). Hence \(8d=40\), so \(d=5\). The 21st term is eight positions after the 13th term, so \(a_{21}=a_{13}+(21-13)d=67+8\times5=67+40=107\). Option A, 99, is too small and does not add all eight increases. Option B, 103, misses one increase. Option C, 111, adds too many increases. Option D, 107, is correct. A helpful check is that the sequence rises by 5 each time, and moving eight places forward must increase 67 by 40.
