The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the properties of Arithmetic Progressions (AP). Let's denote the first AP as \( A_n \) and the second AP as \( T_n \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the nth Term Formula**: The nth term of an AP can be expressed as: \[ A_n = A_1 + (n-1)D \] where \( A_1 \) is the first term and \( D \) is the common difference. 2. **Write the 50th Terms**: For the first AP: \[ A_{50} = A_1 + (50-1)D = A_1 + 49D \] For the second AP: \[ T_{50} = T_1 + (50-1)D = T_1 + 49D \] 3. **Set Up the Difference Between the 50th Terms**: According to the problem, the difference between the 50th terms of the two APs is given as: \[ A_{50} - T_{50} = 100 \] Substituting the expressions for \( A_{50} \) and \( T_{50} \): \[ (A_1 + 49D) - (T_1 + 49D) = 100 \] Simplifying this gives: \[ A_1 - T_1 = 100 \] 4. **Write the 100th Terms**: Now, we will write the 100th terms for both APs. For the first AP: \[ A_{100} = A_1 + (100-1)D = A_1 + 99D \] For the second AP: \[ T_{100} = T_1 + (100-1)D = T_1 + 99D \] 5. **Set Up the Difference Between the 100th Terms**: We need to find the difference between the 100th terms: \[ A_{100} - T_{100} = (A_1 + 99D) - (T_1 + 99D) \] Simplifying this gives: \[ A_{100} - T_{100} = A_1 - T_1 \] 6. **Substitute the Value of \( A_1 - T_1 \)**: From step 3, we found that \( A_1 - T_1 = 100 \). Thus: \[ A_{100} - T_{100} = 100 \] ### Final Answer: The difference between the 100th terms of the two APs is **100**.
