  • Question
  • The 9th term exceeds the fifth term of an AP by 32. The sum of the ninth and fifth terms is 114. Find the eight term of the AP.?


  • Options
  • A. 60
  • B. 63
  • C. 65
  • D. 68

  • Correct Answer
  • 65 

    Explanation

    T9 = a + (9 - 1)d = a + 8d
    T5 = a + (5 - 1)d = a + 4d
    T9 - T5 = 32
    ? (a + 8d) - (a + 4d) = 32
    ? 4d = 32
    ? d = 8
    T9 + T5 = (a + 8d) + (a + 4d)
    = 2a + 12d
    T9 + T5 = 114
    ? 114 = 2(a + 6d)
    ? a + 6d = 57
    ? T8 = a + 7d
    = a + 6d + d
    = 57 + 8 = 65
