17) In an A.P if the first term is 4 and 9th term is 20 then 15th term is
A) 16
B) 32
C) 18
D) 36
View Answer
B) 32
Explanation:In an A.P., if the first term is 4 and the 9th term is 20, then the 15th term is:
Solution:
Given:

In an A.P.,
So,
8d = 16
d = 2
Now,
15th term ()
= 4 + 14 × 2
= 4 + 28
= 32.
