If (9,b,21) are consecutive terms of an arithmetic progression, what is the value of (b)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 15

For three consecutive terms of an arithmetic progression, the middle term equals the average of the first and third terms. Thus, \(b=\frac{9+21}{2}=15\). Therefore, 15 is the correct option. For instance, if \(b=13\), the differences are \(13-9=4\) and \(21-13=8\), which are not equal. Exam tip: For three consecutive AP terms \(a-d,\ a,\ a+d\), the middle term is always the average of the outer terms.
