પ્રત્યેક પ્રાકૃતિક સંખ્યા $n$ માટે બે સમાંતર શ્રેણીનાં પ્રથમ $n$ પદોના સરવાળાનો ગુણોત્તર $5 n+4: 9 n+6 .$ છે. તેમનાં $18$ માં પદનો ગુણોત્તર મેળવો. 

Let $a_{1}, a_{2}$ and $d_{1}, d_{2}$ be the first terms and the common difference of the first and second arithmetic progression respectively.

According to the given condition,

$\frac{{{\rm{ Sum }}\,\,{\rm{of }}\,\,n\,\,{\rm{ terms }}\,\,{\rm{of}}\,\,{\rm{ first}}\,\,{\rm{ A}}{\rm{.P}}{\rm{. }}}}{{{\rm{ Sum}}\,\,{\rm{ of }}\,\,n{\rm{ }}\,\,{\rm{terms }}\,\,{\rm{of }}\,\,{\rm{second}}\,\,{\rm{ A}}{\rm{.P}}{\rm{. }}}} = \frac{{5n + 4}}{{9n + 6}}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{\frac{n}{2}\left[2 a_{1}+(n-1) d_{1}\right]}{\frac{n}{2}\left[2 a_{2}+(n-1) d_{2}\right]}=\frac{5 n+4}{9 n+6}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{2 a_{1}+(n-1) d_{1}}{2 a_{2}+(n-1) d_{2}}=\frac{5 n+4}{9 n+5}$          ..........$(1)$

Substituting $n=35$ in $(1),$ we obtain

$\frac{2 a_{1}+34 d_{1}}{2 a_{2}+34 d_{2}}=\frac{5(35)+4}{9(35)+6}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{a_{1}+17 d_{1}}{a_{2}+17 d_{2}}=\frac{179}{321}$        ...........$(2)$

$\frac{{{{18}^{th}}\,\,{\rm{ term}}\,\,{\rm{of}}\,\,{\rm{ first }}}}{{{{18}^{th}}\,\,{\rm{ term }}\,\,{\rm{of }}\,\,{\rm{second}}\,\,{\rm{ A}}{\rm{.P}}{\rm{. }}}} = \frac{{{a_1} + 17{d_1}}}{{{a_2} + 17{d_2}}}$            ............$(3)$

From $(2)$ and $(3),$ we obtain

$\frac{{{{18}^{{\rm{th }}}}\,\,{\rm{ term}}\,\,{\rm{ of }}\,\,{\rm{first }}}}{{{{18}^{{\rm{th }}}}\,\,{\rm{ term }}\,\,{\rm{of}}\,\,{\rm{ second }}\,\,{\rm{A}}{\rm{.P}}{\rm{. }}}} = \frac{{179}}{{321}}$

Thus, the ratio of $18^{\text {th }}$ term of both the $A.P.$s is $179: 321 .$
