If in an AP (a_4=20) and (a_9+a_{14}=160), what is (a_{28})?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 212

In an AP, the common difference is the same between consecutive terms. Here, \(a_9=a_4+5d\) and \(a_{14}=a_4+10d\). Therefore, \(20+5d+20+10d=160\), so \(15d=120\) and \(d=8\). Now, \(a_{28}=a_4+24d=20+24\times8=212\). Hence, 212 is correct. The value 204 does not result when the correct common difference \(d=8\) is used. Exam tip: when one term \(a_r\) is known, use \(a_n=a_r+(n-r)d\) directly.
