In an AP, (a_2+a_6=50) and (a_{10}=57). What is (a_{22})?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 121

Let the first term be \(a\) and the common difference be \(d\). Then \(a_2+a_6=(a+d)+(a+5d)=2a+6d=50\), so \(a+3d=25\). Also, \(a_{10}=a+9d=57\). Subtracting the two equations gives \(6d=32\), hence \(d=\frac{16}{3}\). Now \(a_{22}=(a+3d)+18d=25+18\times\frac{16}{3}=121\). Therefore, 121 is correct. A value such as 105 can result from using an incorrect common difference. Exam tip: subtract equations involving AP terms first to find \(d\) quickly.
