In an AP, (a_p=42), (a_{p+12}=150), and (p=9). What is (a_{40})?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 321

Since \(p=9\), we have \(a_9=42\) and \(a_{21}=150\). Thus, \(a_{21}-a_9=12d=150-42=108\), so \(d=9\). Now \(a_{40}=a_9+(40-9)d=42+31\times9=321\). The value 330 does not follow from the common difference \(d=9\) for the 40th term. Exam tip: When two terms with different indices are given, first use the difference of their indices to find \(d\).
