Let 3 ,   6 ,   9 ,   12 ,   … upto 78 terms and 5 ,   9 ,   13 ,  …

Let 3, 6, 9, 12,  upto 78 terms and 5, 9, 13, 17,  upto 59 terms be two series. Then, the sum of the terms common to both the series is equal to ______.

Solution

Given,

3,6,9, upto 78 terms

t78=3+77×3=234

5,9,13, upto 59 terms

t59=5+58×4=237

Common difference of common terms =LCM3,4=12

First common term is 9 and last common term is 225

So series will be 9,21,33,,225  n=19

S=n2a+l=1929+225=2223
