In an arithmetic progression, (a_4=19) and (a_{13}=73). What is the common difference (d)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 6

In an arithmetic progression, the difference between two terms equals the difference in their positions multiplied by the common difference. Thus, \(a_{13}-a_4=(13-4)d=9d\). Here, \(73-19=54\), so \(9d=54\) and \(d=6\). Note that 9 is the difference between the term numbers, not the common difference. Exam tip: Use \(a_n-a_m=(n-m)d\) to find \(d\) without first finding the first term.
