If (3,x,11,y,19) are five consecutive terms of an AP, what are (x,y) and the common difference?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (x=7,y=15,d=4)
There are (4) equal gaps between the first and fifth terms, so (d=\frac{19-3}{4}=4). In exams, divide the total difference between distant terms by the number of gaps.
