In an AP, a₁₂ = 5a₄ − 6 and a₄ = 16. What is a₂₄?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 161

For an arithmetic progression, a₁₂ − a₄ = (12 − 4)d = 8d. First use a₄ = 16 in the given relation: a₁₂ = 5(16) − 6 = 80 − 6 = 74. Therefore 74 − 16 = 8d, so 58 = 8d and d = 29/4. To move from the fourth term to the twenty-fourth term requires 24 − 4 = 20 equal steps. Hence a₂₄ = a₄ + 20d = 16 + 20(29/4) = 16 + 145 = 161. Thus option C is correct. The answer is not found by multiplying a₄ directly by a fixed factor; the AP formula depends on the difference between term indices. Options A, B, and D fail the verified twenty-step calculation.
