Any term of an AP (except first ) is ...

Any term of an AP (except first ) is equal to half the sum of terms which are equidistant from it .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

True
Consider AnAP a,a,+d,A+2d ,…
Now `a_(2)+a_(4)=a+d+a+3d`
`=2a+4d=2a_(3)`
`a_(3)=(a_(2)+a_(4))/(2)`
Again ,` (a_(3)+a_(5))/(2)=(a+2d+a+4d)/(2)=(2a+6d)/(2)`
` =a+3d=a_(4)`
hence ,the statement is true .
