If in an AP (a_4=4x-1), (a_9=9x-16), and (a_{14}=14x-31), what is (a_{19})?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(19x-46\)

From the 4th to the 9th term and from the 9th to the 14th term, the gap is 5 terms each. \(a_9-a_4=(9x-16)-(4x-1)=5x-15\), so \(a_{19}-a_{14}\) is also \(5x-15\). Hence, \(a_{19}=(14x-31)+(5x-15)=19x-46\). The option \(19x-44\) has an incorrect addition of the constant terms. Exam tip: In an AP, equal gaps between term numbers give equal differences between the corresponding terms.
