In an AP, (a_6+a_{18}=156) and (a_{10}+a_{22}=252). What is (a_{34})?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 342

For an AP, \(a_n=a+(n-1)d\). Thus, \(a_6+a_{18}=2a+22d=156\) and \(a_{10}+a_{22}=2a+30d=252\). Subtracting the first equation from the second gives \(8d=96\), so \(d=12\). Now \(2a+22(12)=156\) gives \(a=-54\). Hence, \(a_{34}=a+33d=-54+33(12)=342\). The value \(324\) does not satisfy the two given conditions. Exam tip: subtract two such sum equations to eliminate \(a\) and find \(d\) quickly.
