If (a_{10}=a+9d=59) and (a_{25}=a+24d=149), what is (a_{40})?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 239

Subtracting the given terms gives \(a_{25}-a_{10}=15d=149-59=90\). Hence, \(d=6\). Now \(a_{40}=a_{25}+15d=149+15\times6=239\). Therefore, the correct answer is 239. Choosing 245 would incorrectly use 16 common differences; there are only 15 differences from the 25th term to the 40th term. Exam tip: To find \(d\) quickly, subtract two known terms and divide by the difference in their term numbers.
