In an AP, (a_{12}=0) and (a_{28}=-96). What is (a_1)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 66

For an AP, \(a_n=a_1+(n-1)d\). Thus, \(a_{28}-a_{12}=16d=-96\), so \(d=-6\). Now \(a_{12}=a_1+11d=0\) gives \(a_1=-11(-6)=66\). Therefore, 66 is the correct option. If 60 were chosen, \(a_{12}\) would be \(-6\), not the given value. Exam tip: when two terms are given, first find \(d\) by subtracting the terms.
