In an AP, a₄ + a₁₂ = 64 and a₈ + a₁₆ = 112. What is a₂₀?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 104

Let the first term be a and the common difference be d. Using a_r = a + (r − 1)d, the first condition becomes (a + 3d) + (a + 11d) = 2a + 14d = 64. The second becomes (a + 7d) + (a + 15d) = 2a + 22d = 112. Subtracting gives 8d = 48, so d = 6. Substituting into 2a + 14d = 64 gives 2a + 84 = 64 and hence a = −10. Therefore a₂₀ = a + 19d = −10 + 19×6 = 104. Thus option C is correct. The originally listed alternatives did not contain 104, so the option set has been corrected; 78, 84, and 112 do not satisfy the given equations.
