Four numbers are inserted between the numbers 4 and 39 such that an AP. results. Find the biggest of these four numbers.
Given: Four numbers are inserted between the numbers $4$ and $39$ such that an AP. results.
To do: To find the biggest of these four numbers.
Solution:
When $n$ numbers are inserted between two numbers $a$ and $b$, then the common difference $d$ is given by, $d=\frac{b-a}{n+1}$
Here, $b=39,\ n=4$ and $a=4$
$\Rightarrow d=\frac{39-4}{4+1}$
$\Rightarrow d=\frac{35}{5}$
$\Rightarrow d=7$
Therefore the inserted numbers betwween $4$ and $39$ are: $11,\ 18,\ 25,\ 32$
The largest number is $32$.
