If (2a−5, a+4, 4a−7) are in an arithmetic progression, what is the value of a?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 5

Use the defining relation for three consecutive AP terms: twice the middle term equals the sum of the first and third terms. Thus 2(a+4)=(2a−5)+(4a−7). Simplifying gives 2a+8=6a−12, so 20=4a and a=5. Substituting a=5 produces the terms 5, 9, and 13. Their consecutive differences are 9−5=4 and 13−9=4, confirming that the terms really form an arithmetic progression. Therefore option D is correct. The other values do not make the two consecutive differences equal. The governing concept is the middle-term property of an AP, which converts the progression condition into a linear equation and gives a unique value of the variable.
