If (a_r=86), (a_{r+6}=176), and (a_{4r}=536), what is the value of (r)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 10

In an AP, \(a_{r+6}-a_r=6d\). Thus, \(176-86=6d\), so \(d=15\). Now, \(a_{4r}-a_r=(4r-r)d=3rd\). Hence, \(536-86=3r\times15\), i.e. \(450=45r\), giving \(r=10\). If 9 were used, the difference between the terms would be \(3\times9\times15=405\), not 450. Exam tip: Subtracting two given AP terms eliminates the first term and directly relates the common difference to the difference in indices.
