In an AP, (a_{18}=135) and (a_{46}=443). What is (a_{32})?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (289)

The direct answer is option C: 289. In an AP, terms change by the same common difference. The indices 18 and 46 have midpoint (18 + 46)/2 = 32, so a32 lies exactly halfway between a18 and a46. In an AP, equally spaced terms have values equally spaced too. Therefore a32 = (a18 + a46)/2 = (135 + 443)/2 = 578/2 = 289. Option C is correct. Option A, 279, results from an incorrect average or subtraction. Option B, 285, does not equal the required midpoint. Option D, 295, is also not the average of 135 and 443. We can verify using differences: from index 18 to 32 there are 14 steps, and from 32 to 46 there are also 14 steps, so the middle term must be the numerical midpoint. Exam cue: when the index is exactly halfway between two AP indices, average the two corresponding terms.
