Question: If is the common difference of , and is the common difference of , then which one of the following is always correct?
Options
- A
- B
- C
- DNone of the above
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
There are two AP with the different first terms and common difference.
For the first AP A:
Let the first term be a and common difference
Sum of n terms term
For the second AP B:
Let the first term be M and common difference
Sum of n terms term
It is given that
Now, we need to find the ratio of the first term of A and Hence, $\frac{n-1}{2}=0 \Rightarrow n=1$
Putting $\mathrm{n}=1$ in equation (1), we get\begin{aligned}
& \frac{a}{M}=\frac{5(1)+4}{9(1)+6} \\
& \Rightarrow \frac{a}{M}=\frac{9}{15} \\
& \Rightarrow \frac{a}{M}=\frac{3}{5} \\
& \Rightarrow \frac{1^{\text{st }} \text{ term of } A}{1^{\text{st }} \text{ term of } B}=\frac{3}{5}
\end{aligned}Now, we need to find the ratio of the second term of $A and B\begin{aligned}
& \frac{2^{\text{nd }} \text{ term of } A}{2^{\text{nd }} t \text{ erm of } B} \\
& =\frac{a+(2-1) d}{M+(2-1) D} \\
& =\frac{a+d}{M+D}
\end{aligned}$
Hence, $\frac{n-1}{2}=1 \Rightarrow n=3$
Putting $\mathrm{n}=3$ in equation (1), we get\begin{aligned}
& \frac{a+d}{M+D}=\frac{5(3)+4}{9(3)+6} \\
& \Rightarrow \frac{a+d}{M+D}=\frac{19}{33} \\
& \Rightarrow \frac{2^{\text{nd }} \text{ term of } A}{2^{\text{nd }} \text{ term of } B}=\frac{19}{33}
\end{aligned}$A=3A=19d=19-3=16B=5B=33D=33-5=28D > d\therefore$ The correct option is (1)
