The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the 30th term of an arithmetic progression (A.P.) given that 10 times the 10th term is equal to 20 times the 20th term. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Terms of A.P.:** The nth term of an A.P. can be expressed as: \[ A_n = A + (n - 1)d \] where \( A \) is the first term and \( d \) is the common difference. 2. **Expressing the 10th and 20th Terms:** - The 10th term (\( A_{10} \)): \[ A_{10} = A + (10 - 1)d = A + 9d \] - The 20th term (\( A_{20} \)): \[ A_{20} = A + (20 - 1)d = A + 19d \] 3. **Setting Up the Equation:** According to the problem, we have: \[ 10 \times A_{10} = 20 \times A_{20} \] Substituting the expressions for \( A_{10} \) and \( A_{20} \): \[ 10(A + 9d) = 20(A + 19d) \] 4. **Expanding Both Sides:** - Left-hand side: \[ 10A + 90d \] - Right-hand side: \[ 20A + 380d \] Thus, we have: \[ 10A + 90d = 20A + 380d \] 5. **Rearranging the Equation:** Bringing all terms involving \( A \) and \( d \) to one side: \[ 10A - 20A + 90d - 380d = 0 \] Simplifying this gives: \[ -10A - 290d = 0 \] or \[ 10A + 290d = 0 \] 6. **Finding the Relationship:** Dividing the entire equation by 10: \[ A + 29d = 0 \] This implies: \[ A = -29d \] 7. **Finding the 30th Term:** The 30th term (\( A_{30} \)) can be expressed as: \[ A_{30} = A + (30 - 1)d = A + 29d \] Substituting \( A = -29d \): \[ A_{30} = -29d + 29d = 0 \] ### Conclusion: The 30th term of the A.P. is: \[ \boxed{0} \]
