MCQ
The number of common terms in the progressions $4,9,14,19, \ldots \ldots$, up to $25^{\text {th }}$ term and $3,6,9,12$, up to $37^{\text {th }}$ term is :
  • A
    $9$
  • B
    $5$
  • $7$
  • D
    $8$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$7$
c
$4,9,14,19, \ldots$, up to $25^{\text {th }}$ term

$\mathrm{T}_{25}=4+(25-1) 5=4+120=124$

$3,6,9,12, \ldots$, up to $37^{\text {th }}$ term

$\mathrm{T}_{37}=3+(37-1) 3=3+108=111$

Common difference of $\mathrm{I}^{\text {st }}$ series $\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{l}}=5$

Common difference of $\mathrm{In}^{\text {nd }}$ series $\mathrm{d}_2=3$

First common term $=9$, and

their common difference $=15\left(\mathrm{LCM}\right.$ of $\mathrm{d}_1$ and $\mathrm{d}_2$ )

then common terms are

$9,24,39,54,69,84,99$
