The 9th term of an AP is 0. Prove that its 29th term is double the 19th term.

Question:

The $9^{\text {th }}$ term of an AP is 0 . Prove that its $29^{\text {th }}$ term is double the $19^{\text {th }}$ term.

 

Solution:

Given : $9^{\text {th }}$ term is 0

To prove: $29^{\text {th }}$ term is double the $19^{\text {th }}$ term

$a+8 d=0$

$a=-8 d$

$29^{\text {th }}$ term is

$a+28 d$

$\Rightarrow 20 d$

$19^{\text {th }}$ term is

$a+18 d$

$\Rightarrow 10 d$

Hence proved $29^{\text {th }}$ term is double the $19^{\text {th }}$ term
