If (x, x+6, 3x−2) are in an arithmetic progression, what is the third term?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 19

For three consecutive terms of an arithmetic progression, twice the middle term equals the sum of the first and third terms. Apply this condition: 2(x+6)=x+(3x−2). After expansion, 2x+12=4x−2, so 14=2x and x=7. The third term is therefore 3x−2=3(7)−2=21−2=19. Hence option A is correct. A direct check confirms the result: the terms become 7, 13, 19, whose consecutive differences are 6 and 6. Option C is the unadjusted value 3x after finding x=7, while the other numerical choices do not satisfy the defining AP condition. The governing concept is equality of consecutive differences, equivalently the middle-term relation 2b=a+c.
