In an AP, a₁₂ = 75 and a₃₆ = 219. What is a₂₄?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 147

In an arithmetic progression, terms whose indices are equally spaced have the middle term equal to the arithmetic mean of the two outer terms. The indices 12, 24, and 36 are equally spaced because 24 − 12 = 12 and 36 − 24 = 12. Hence 2a₂₄ = a₁₂ + a₃₆. Substituting the given values gives 2a₂₄ = 75 + 219 = 294, so a₂₄ = 294/2 = 147. Therefore option B is correct. This can also be checked using the common difference: 24 index steps separate a₁₂ and a₃₆, so d = (219 − 75)/(36 − 12) = 144/24 = 6; then a₂₄ = 75 + (24 − 12) × 6 = 147. The other options are not the required midpoint.
