  • Question
  • The sum of 3rd and 15th elements of an arithmetic progression is equal to the sum of 6th, 11th and 13th elements of the same progression. Then which element of the series should necessarily be equal to zero ?


  • Options
  • A. 14th element
  • B. 9th element
  • C. 12th element
  • D. 7th element

  • Correct Answer
  • 12th element 

    Explanation

    If we consider the third term to be ?x?
    The 15th term will be (x + 12d)
    6th term will be (x + 3d)
    11th term will be (x + 8d) and
    13th term will be (x + 10d).
    Thus, as per the given condition, 2x + 12d = 3x + 21d.Or x + 9d = 0.
    x + 9d will be the 12th term.

    Thus, 12th term of the A.P will be zero.
