In an AP, (a_4=18) and (a_{16}=78). If (a_{4r}=138), what is (r)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 7

First find the common difference using the two given terms: \(d=\frac{a_{16}-a_4}{16-4}=\frac{78-18}{12}=5\). Now \(a_{4r}=a_4+(4r-4)d\). Thus, \(138=18+(4r-4)\times5\), giving \(4r-4=24\) and hence \(r=7\). If \(r=8\), the term would be \(a_{32}\), whose value is 158, not 138. Exam tip: For two non-consecutive AP terms, use \(d=\frac{a_n-a_m}{n-m}\).
