In an AP, (a_{25}=a_{10}+180) and (a_{10}=70). What is (a_{65})?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 730

In an AP, the difference between two terms equals the difference of their positions multiplied by the common difference. Thus, \(a_{25}-a_{10}=15d=180\), so \(d=12\). Now, \(a_{65}=a_{10}+(65-10)d=70+55\times12=730\). Hence, 730 is correct. The close distractor 710 may result from incorrectly counting the difference in term positions instead of using \(65-10\). Exam tip: use \(a_m-a_n=(m-n)d\) when two terms are given; finding the first term is unnecessary.
