If \(a_{20}=3a_8\) and \(a_8=28\), what is \(a_{26}\)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 112

Given \(a_8=28\), \(a_{20}=3a_8=3\times28=84\). In an AP, \(a_{20}-a_8=(20-8)d=12d\). Hence, \(84-28=12d\), so \(d=\frac{14}{3}\). Now \(a_{26}=a_{20}+(26-20)d=84+6\times\frac{14}{3}=84+28=112\). Therefore, 112 is correct. Choosing 106 would mean adding the increase over six terms incorrectly. Exam tip: when two distant terms are given, use the difference of their indices to find \(d\).
