Question

Insert five numbers between 8 and 26 such that the resulting sequence is an A.P.

✓

Answer

Let A₁, A₂, A₃, A₄, A₅ be five numbers between 8 and 26.
Let d be the common difference.
Then, we have:
26 = A₇
⇒ 26 = 8 + (7−1)d
⇒ 26 = 8 + 6d
⇒ d = 3
A₁ = 8 + d = 8 + 3 = 11
A₂ = 8 + 2d = 8 + 6 = 14
A₃ = 8 + 3d = 8 + 9 = 17
A₄ = 8 + 4d = 8 + 12 = 20
A₅ = 8 + 5d = 8 + 15 = 23
Therefore, the five numbers are 11, 14, 17, 20, 23.
