If x₁, x₂, ., x_n and 1 h₁ , 1 h^2 , . . 1 h_n are two A.P's such that x₃=h₂=8 and x₈=h₇=20 , then x₅ . h₁₀ equals.
Options
- A2560
- B2650
- C3200
- D1600
Correct answer
A. 2560
Step-by-step solution
Suppose d₁ is the common difference of the A.P. x₁, x₂, . x_n then aligned & x₈-x₃=5 d₁=12 d₁= 12 5 =2.4 & x₅=x₃+2 d₁=8+2 12 5 =12.8 aligned Suppose d₂ is the common difference of the A.P 1 h₁ , 1 h₂ , . 1 h_n then aligned &5 d₂= 1 20 - 1 8 = -3 40 d₂= -3 200 & 1 h₁₀ = 1 h₇ +3 d₂= 1 200 h₁₀=200 & x₅ . h₁₀=12.8 200=2560 aligned
