The correct Answer is:
To find the value of \( a_{25} - a_{15} \) for the arithmetic progression (AP) given as 6, 9, 12, 15, ..., we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the first term and common difference The first term \( a \) of the AP is 6, and the common difference \( d \) can be calculated as follows: \[ d = 9 - 6 = 3 \] ### Step 2: Write the formula for the nth term of an AP The formula for the nth term \( a_n \) of an AP is given by: \[ a_n = a + (n - 1) \cdot d \] ### Step 3: Calculate \( a_{25} \) Using the formula for the 25th term: \[ a_{25} = a + (25 - 1) \cdot d = 6 + (24) \cdot 3 \] Calculating this: \[ a_{25} = 6 + 72 = 78 \] ### Step 4: Calculate \( a_{15} \) Now, using the formula for the 15th term: \[ a_{15} = a + (15 - 1) \cdot d = 6 + (14) \cdot 3 \] Calculating this: \[ a_{15} = 6 + 42 = 48 \] ### Step 5: Find \( a_{25} - a_{15} \) Now we can find the difference: \[ a_{25} - a_{15} = 78 - 48 = 30 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \( a_{25} - a_{15} \) is \( \boxed{30} \). ---
