Let a₁, a₂, a₃ . be terms on A.P. If a₁+a₂+ a_ p a₁+a₂+ .+a_ q = p² q² , p q, then a₆ a₂₁ equals
Options
- A41 11
- B7 2
- C2 7
- D11 41
Correct answer
D. 11 41
Step-by-step solution
p 2 [2 a₁+(p-1) d ] q 2 [2 a₁+(q-1) d ] = p² q² 2 a₁+(p-1) d 2 a₁+(q-1) d = p q a₁+ ( p-1 2 ) d a₁+ ( q-1 2 ) d = p q For a₆ a₂₁ , p=11, q=41
