Suppose that all the terms of an arithmetic progression (A.P.) are natural numbers. If the ratio of the sum of the first seven terms to the sum of the first eleven terms is 6: 11 and the seventh term lies in between 130 and 140, then the common difference of this A.P. is

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
9
Given `s_1/S_11=6/11`
`rArr (7/2[2a+6d])/(11/2[2a+10d])=6/11`
`rArr (7(a+3d))/(11(a+5d))=6/11`
`rArr 7a+21d= 6a+30d `
`rArr a = 9d`
`rArr T_7=a+6d=15d`
Given `130 lt 15 d lt 140`
`rArr d=9`
