Question
If nine times ninth term is equal to the fifteen times fifteenth term, show that six times twenty fourth term is zero
Solution
Nine times ninth term = Fifteen times fifteenth term
9t9 = 15t15
9(a + 8d) = 5(a + 14d)
9a + 72d = 15a + 210
15a + 210d – 9a – 72d = 0
⇒ 6a + 138 d = 0
⇒ 6(a + 23 d) = 0
⇒ 6(a + (24 – 1)d) = 0
⇒ 6t24 = 0.
Hence it is proved.
