If twice the $11^{th}$ term of an $A.P.$ is equal to $7$ times of its $21^{st}$ term, then its $25^{th}$ term is equal to

A

$24$

B

$120$

C

$0$

D

None of these

Solution

(c) Let the first term of $A.P. $ is a and common difference is $d$.

$11^{th}$ term of $A.P. =$ $a + 10d$

$21^{st}$ term of $A.P. = a+ 20d$

$2(a + 10d) = 7(a + 20d)$

==> $2a + 20d = 7a + 140d$

$5a + 120d = 0$

==> $a + 24d = 0$

Hence $25^{th}$ term is $0.$
