In an AP, a₁₃ = 2a₅ + 9 and a₅ = 25. What is a₂₉?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 127

Use the AP relation a_n = a_m + (n − m)d. First calculate a₁₃ from the given condition: a₁₃ = 2a₅ + 9 = 2(25) + 9 = 59. From the fifth term to the thirteenth term there are 8 steps, so a₁₃ = a₅ + 8d. Thus 59 = 25 + 8d, giving 8d = 34 and d = 17/4. From a₅ to a₂₉ there are 29 − 5 = 24 steps. Therefore a₂₉ = a₅ + 24d = 25 + 24(17/4) = 25 + 102 = 127. Hence option A is correct. The other choices arise from using an incorrect step count, such as 23 or 25, or from an arithmetic mistake. The fractional common difference is valid because an AP need not have an integer difference.
