If in an AP (a_3=3x-4), (a_7=7x-12), and (a_{11}=11x-20), what is (a_{15})?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (15x-28)

The subscripts increase by 4 from 3 to 7 and from 7 to 11. Therefore, the corresponding term differences must be equal: (a_7-a_3)=(7x-12)-(3x-4)=4x-8. Hence, (a_{15}-a_{11}) is also 4x-8. So, (a_{15})=(11x-20)+(4x-8)=15x-28. The option (15x-26) has an incorrect constant term. Exam tip: In an AP, equal jumps in term numbers give equal differences between the terms.
