Let a₁, a₂, a₄₀ be in AP and h₁, h₂, . h₁₀ be in HP. If a₁=h₁=2 and a₁₀=h₁₀=3 , then a₄ h₇ is
Options
- A2
- B3
- C5
- D6
Correct answer
D. 6
Step-by-step solution
Let d be the common difference of the AP. Then, aligned & a₁₀=3 a₁+9 d=3 & 2+9 d=3 d= 1 9 & a₄=a₁+3 d=2+ 1 3 = 7 3 aligned Let D be the common difference of 1 h₁ , 1 h₂ , .- 1 h₁₀ . Then, h₁₀=3 array ll & 1 h₁₀ = 1 3 1 2 +9 D= 1 3 & 9 D=- 1 6 D=- 1 54 & 1 h₇ = 1 h₁ +6 D= 1 2 - 1 9 = 7 18 & h₇= 18 7 & a₄ h₇= 7 3 18 7 =6 array
