Let x(1) lt x(2) lt x(3) lt x(4) lt x(5)...

Let `x_(1) lt x_(2) lt x_(3) lt x_(4) lt x_(5)` and `y_(1) lt y_(2) lt y_(3) lt y_(4) lt y_(5)` are in AP such that `underset(I = 1)overset(5)(sum) x_(i) = underset(I = 1)overset(5)(sum) y_(i) = 25` and `underset(I =1)overset(5)(II) x_(i) = underset(I = 1)overset(5)(II) y_(i) = 0` then `|y_(5) - x_(5)|`

A

`5//2`

B

5

C

10

D

15

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Let 5 nos in AP are
a - 2d, a -d, a,a + d, a + 2d
ATO `5a = 35 implies a = 5`
And `(a^(2) - 4d^(2)) (a^(2) - d^(2)) a = 0 implies d = (5)/(2)` or `d = 5`
So nos would be
`0,(5)/(2), 5, (15)/(2), 10` or -5,0,5,10,15
