In an AP (a_{10}=58) and (a_{22}=130). What is the first term?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 4

For an AP, \(a_n=a+(n-1)d\). Thus, \(a_{22}-a_{10}=12d=130-58=72\), so \(d=6\). Now \(a_{10}=a+9d\) gives \(58=a+9\times6\), hence \(a=4\). Option 6 is the common difference, not the first term. Exam tip: When two terms are given, first use the difference in their term numbers to find \(d\).
