In an AP (a_{10}+a_{30}=500) and (a_{18}+a_{38}=820). What is (a_{58})?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 1010

Let the first term be \(a\) and common difference be \(d\). Then \(a_{10}+a_{30}=2a+38d=500\) and \(a_{18}+a_{38}=2a+54d=820\). Subtracting gives \(16d=320\), so \(d=20\). From \(2a+38(20)=500\), we get \(a=-130\). Hence, \(a_{58}=a+57d=-130+57(20)=1010\). The nearby option 1030 can result from incorrectly using \(58d\); remember that \(a_{58}=a+57d\). Exam tip: use \(a_n=a+(n-1)d\).
