If the numbers $n-2$, $4n-1$, and $5n+2$ are in A.P. , Find the value $n$.
Given: Numbers $n-2$, $4n-1$, and $5n+2$ are in A.P.
To do: To find the value of $n$.
Solution:
$\because n-2,\ 4n-1,\ and\ 5n+2$ are in A.P.
$\therefore$ Common difference $d=( 4n-1)-( n-2)=( 5n+2)-(4n-1)$
$\Rightarrow 4n-1-n+2=5n+2-4n+1$
$\Rightarrow 3n+1=n+3$
$\Rightarrow 3n-n=3-1$
$\Rightarrow 2n=2$
$\Rightarrow n=\frac{2n}{2}$
$\Rightarrow n=1$
Thus, $n=1$.
