Let `a_(n)` be the nth term of an AP, if `sum_(r=1)^(100)a_(2r)= alpha " and "sum_(r=1)^(100)a_(2r-1)=beta`, then the common difference of the AP is

A

`(alpha-beta)/(100)`

B

`beta-alpha`

C

`(alpha-beta)/(200)`

D

`alpha-beta`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
We have,
`alpha=underset(r=1)overset(100)suma_(2r)andbetaunderset(r=1)overset(100)suma_(2r-1)`
`:." "alpha-beta=underset(r=1)sum100(a_(2r)-a_(2r-1))`
`rArr" "alpha-beta=100d`, where d is the common difference
`rArr" "d=(alpha-beta)/(100)`
