If the numbers $n-2,\ 4n-1$ and $5n+2$ are in A.P., then find the value of $n$.
Given: Numbers $n – 2,\ 4n – 1$ and $5n +2$ are in A.P.
To do: To find the value of $n$.
Solution:
As given, $n-2,\ 4n-1$ and $5n+2$ are in A.P.
$\because$ Common difference is the same in A.P.
Therefore, $( 4n-1)-( n-2)=( 5n+2)-( 4n-1)$
$\Rightarrow 4n-1-n-2=5n+2-4n+1$
$\Rightarrow 3n-3=n+3$
$\Rightarrow 3n-n=3+3$
$\Rightarrow 2n=6$
$\Rightarrow 2n=6$
$\Rightarrow n=\frac{6}{2}$
$\Rightarrow n=3$
Thus, $n=2$
