In an AP, (a_7+a_{21}=224) and (a_{13}+a_{27}=368). What is (a_{41})?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 436

For an AP, \(a_n=a+(n-1)d\). Thus, \(a_7+a_{21}=2a+26d=224\) and \(a_{13}+a_{27}=2a+38d=368\). Subtracting the equations gives \(12d=144\), so \(d=12\). Then \(2a+26(12)=224\) gives \(a=-44\). Hence, \(a_{41}=a+40d=-44+40(12)=436\). Option 560 results from not accounting for the first term \(a\). Exam tip: in AP questions involving two sums of terms, subtract the equations first to find \(d\) quickly.
