$m \neq n$ માટે કોઈક સમાંતર શ્રેણીનું $m$ મું પદ $n$ અને $n$ મું પદ $m$ હોય, તો તેનું $p$ મું પદ શોધો.

A

$n+m-p$

B

$n+m-p$

C

$n+m-p$

D

$n+m-p$

Solution

We have $a_{m}=a+(m-1) d=n,$        ……$(1)$

and $\quad a_{n}=a+(n-1) d=m$          ………$(2)$

Solving $(1)$ and $(2),$ we get

$(m-n) d=n-m,$ or $d=-1,$          ………..$(3)$

and $\quad a=n+m-1$             ………..$(4)$

Therefore $\quad a_{p}=a+(p-1) d$

$=n+m-1+(p-1)(-1)=n+m-p$

Hence, the $p^{\text {th }}$ term is $n+m-p$
