Q10 of 105 Page 139

Two APs have the same common difference. The difference between their 100th terms is 100, what is the difference between their 1000th terms?

Given that the 2 AP series has same common difference (d)

Let x, x+d, x+2d,…. X+(n-1)d &


y, y+d, y+2d,…..y+(n-1)d are the two A.P series


given that the difference between their 100th terms is 100


that is,


x+(100-1)d – (y+(100-1)d) = 100


x-y = 100


The difference between their 1000th term is


= x+(1000-1)d –(y+(1000-1)d)


= x-y


We know that value from previous equation


= 100


The difference between their 1000th terms is 100
