If (5,x,y,20) are consecutive terms of an arithmetic progression, what will be the values of (x) and (y)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (x=10,y=15)
There are three equal gaps from (5) to (20), so (d=\frac{20-5}{3}=5), hence (x=10) and (y=15). Find missing terms by splitting the total difference into equal gaps.
