If 3 2 sin 2 α - 1 , 14 and 3 4 - 2 sin 2 α are the first three terms of an A.P. for some α ,…

If 32sin2α-1,14 and 34-2sin2α are the first three terms of an A.P. for some α , then the sixth term of this A.P. is
  1. 66
  2. 81
  3. 65
  4. 78

Solution

If a, b, c are in AP, then b is A.M of a & c

 2 b=a+c

28=32sin2α-1+34-2sin2α

Putting, 32sin2α=x we get,

28=x3+81xx2-84x+243=0

(x-3)(x-81)=0

 32sin2α=3 or 34

sin2α=12sin2α2

Terms are 1,14,27, then

T6=1+5(13)=66
