8. Sequences and Series
easy
If $2x,\;x + 8,\;3x + 1$ are in $A.P.$, then the value of $x$ will be
A
$3$
B
$7$
C
$5$
D
$-2$
Solution
(c) $2x,\;x + 8,\;3x + 1$ are in $A.P.$
Therefore $(x + 8) = \frac{{(2x) + (3x + 1)}}{2} = \frac{{5x + 1}}{2}$
$ \Rightarrow $ $2x + 16 = 5x + 1$
$ \Rightarrow $ $3x = 15$
$ \Rightarrow $ $x = 5$.
