In an AP, (a_{11}=4a_3) and (a_3=18). What is (a_{15})?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 99

Given \(a_3=18\), we get \(a_{11}=4a_3=4\times18=72\). In an AP, \(a_{11}-a_3=(11-3)d=8d\). Thus, \(8d=72-18=54\), so \(d=\frac{27}{4}\). Now \(a_{15}=a_{11}+4d=72+4\times\frac{27}{4}=99\). Hence, 99 is correct. The value 96 would result from not accounting correctly for the common difference between the terms. Exam tip: use the difference in term numbers to find \(d\) when two terms are given.
