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
