In an AP (a_{22}=0) and (a_{58}=-468). What is (a_1)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 273

For an AP, \(a_{58}-a_{22}=(58-22)d\). Thus, \(-468-0=36d\), so \(d=-13\). Now, from \(a_{22}=a_1+21d\), \(0=a_1+21(-13)\), giving \(a_1=273\). Hence, 273 is the correct option. If 263 were used, the 22nd term would not be 0. Exam tip: First find \(d\) by using the difference between the given term numbers.
