If the sum of the 8th and 9th terms of an arithmetic progression is 72 and the 4th term is -6, find the common difference
4
8
623
913
Correct answer is D
Let the first term and common difference = a & d respectively.
Tn=nth term=a+(n−1)d (A.P)
Given: T4=−6⟹a+3d=−6...(i)
T8+T9=72
⟹a+7d+a+8d=72⟹2a+15d=72...(ii)
From (i), a=−6−3d
∴ (ii) becomes 2(-6 - 3d) + 15d = 72
-12 - 6d + 15d = 72 \implies 9d = 72 + 12 = 84
d = \frac{84}{9} = 9\frac{1}{3}
