The correct Answer is:
Let's solve the problem step by step. ### Part (i) **Step 1: Set up the equation based on the given condition.** We are given that 10 times the 10th term is equal to 15 times the 15th term of an arithmetic progression (A.P.). Let the first term of the A.P. be \( A \) and the common difference be \( D \). The 10th term \( A_{10} \) can be expressed as: \[ A_{10} = A + 9D \] The 15th term \( A_{15} \) can be expressed as: \[ A_{15} = A + 14D \] According to the problem: \[ 10 \cdot A_{10} = 15 \cdot A_{15} \] Substituting the expressions for \( A_{10} \) and \( A_{15} \): \[ 10(A + 9D) = 15(A + 14D) \] **Step 2: Simplify the equation.** Expanding both sides: \[ 10A + 90D = 15A + 210D \] **Step 3: Rearrange the equation.** Rearranging gives: \[ 10A - 15A + 90D - 210D = 0 \] \[ -5A - 120D = 0 \] **Step 4: Solve for \( A \).** From the above equation: \[ -5A = 120D \implies A = -24D \] **Step 5: Find the 25th term of the A.P.** The 25th term \( A_{25} \) can be expressed as: \[ A_{25} = A + 24D \] Substituting \( A = -24D \): \[ A_{25} = -24D + 24D = 0 \] Thus, the 25th term of the A.P. is: \[ \boxed{0} \] ### Part (ii) **Step 1: Set up the equation based on the given condition.** We are given that 17 times the 17th term is equal to 18 times the 18th term of an A.P. Using the same notation as before: \[ A_{17} = A + 16D \] \[ A_{18} = A + 17D \] According to the problem: \[ 17 \cdot A_{17} = 18 \cdot A_{18} \] Substituting the expressions for \( A_{17} \) and \( A_{18} \): \[ 17(A + 16D) = 18(A + 17D) \] **Step 2: Simplify the equation.** Expanding both sides: \[ 17A + 272D = 18A + 306D \] **Step 3: Rearrange the equation.** Rearranging gives: \[ 17A - 18A + 272D - 306D = 0 \] \[ -A - 34D = 0 \] **Step 4: Solve for \( A \).** From the above equation: \[ -A = 34D \implies A = -34D \] **Step 5: Find the 35th term of the A.P.** The 35th term \( A_{35} \) can be expressed as: \[ A_{35} = A + 34D \] Substituting \( A = -34D \): \[ A_{35} = -34D + 34D = 0 \] Thus, the 35th term of the A.P. is: \[ \boxed{0} \]

Let's solve the problem step by step. ### Part (i) **Step 1: Set up the equation based on the given condition.** We are given that 10 times the 10th term is equal to 15 times the 15th term of an arithmetic progression (A.P.). ...
