If 19 th term of a non-zero A.P. is zero, then its (49th term): (29th term) is:
Options
- A4: 1
- B1: 3
- C3: 1
- D2: 1
Correct answer
C. 3: 1
Step-by-step solution
Let first term and common difference of A P be a and d respectively, then t_ n =a+(n-1) d t₁₉=a+18 d=0 a=-18 d t₄₉ t₂₉ = a+48 d a+28 d = -18 d+48 d -18 d+28 d = 30 d 10 d =3t₄₉: t₂₉=3: 1
