QJEEM20Ma384d: JEE Main 2020 Mathematics - Class 11 JEEM20Ma384d Solution: The number of terms common to the two A.P.'s 3, 7, 11, .....,…
The number of terms common to the two A.P.'s 3, 7, 11, ....., 407 and 2, 9, 16, ....., 709 is ______.
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
First A.P. is 3, 7, 11, 15, 19, 23, ..... 407
d1 = 4
Second A.P. is 2, 9, 16, 23, ..... 709
d2 = 7
First common term = 23
Common difference of new A.P using the common terms of the two given A.P's is d = L.C.M. (4, 7) = 28
Last term 407
23 + (n – 1) (28) 407
n 14.7
n = 14
d1 = 4
Second A.P. is 2, 9, 16, 23, ..... 709
d2 = 7
First common term = 23
Common difference of new A.P using the common terms of the two given A.P's is d = L.C.M. (4, 7) = 28
Last term 407
23 + (n – 1) (28) 407
n 14.7
n = 14
