Step-by-Step Verified Solution

a1, a2, a3 .... are in A.P. (Let common difference is d1)

b1, b2, b3 .... are in A.P. (Let common difference is d2)

and a1 = 2, a10 = 3, a1b1 = 1 = a10b10

∵ a1b1 = 1

∴ b1 = 12

a10b10 = 1

∴ b10 = 13

Now, a10 = a1 + 9d1 ⇒ d1 = 19

b10 = b1 + 9d2 ⇒ d2 = 19[13−12] = − 154

Now, a4 = 2 + 39 = 73

b4 = 12 − 354 = 49

∴ a4b4 = 2827
