If the first term of an A.P. is a and nth term is b, then its common difference is
पर्याय
- \[\frac{b - a}{n + 1}\]
- \[\frac{b - a}{n - 1}\]
- \[\frac{b - a}{n}\]
- \[\frac{b + a}{n - 1}\]
उत्तर
Here, we are given the first term of the A.P. as a and the nth term (an) as b. So, let us take the common difference of the A.P. as d.
Now, as we know,
an = a + ( n-1) d
On substituting the values given in the question, we get.
b = a + ( n - 1) d
( n - 1) d = b - a
d = \[\frac{b - a}{n - 1}\]
Therefore, d = \[\frac{b - a}{n - 1}\]

First term and the common differences of an A.P. are 6 and 3 respectively; find S27.
Solution: First term = a = 6, common difference = d = 3, S27 = ?
Sn = `"n"/2 [square + ("n" - 1)"d"]` - Formula
Sn = `27/2 [12 + (27 - 1)square]`
= `27/2 xx square`
= 27 × 45
S27 = `square`

For an A.P., If t1 = 1 and tn = 149 then find Sn.
Activitry :- Here t1= 1, tn = 149, Sn = ?
Sn = `"n"/2 (square + square)`
= `"n"/2 xx square`
= `square` n, where n = 75
