In an AP, (a_5+a_{15}=100) and (a_9+a_{19}=164). What is (a_{27})?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 186

Let the first term be \(a\) and the common difference be \(d\). Then \(a_5+a_{15}=2a+18d=100\) and \(a_9+a_{19}=2a+26d=164\). Subtracting the first equation from the second gives \(8d=64\), so \(d=8\). Using \(2a+18\times8=100\), we get \(a=-22\). Hence, \(a_{27}=a+26d=-22+26\times8=186\). The value 210 does not follow from the correct common difference. Exam tip: subtract equations formed from sums of AP terms to find \(d\) quickly.
