Let 3, 7,11, 15,..,403 and 2, 5, 8, 11,...,404 be two arithmetic progressions. Then the sum, of the common terms in them, is equal to_________

Solution

Given AP are: 3, 7,11, 15,..,403 and 2, 5, 8, 11,...,404

a1=3, a2=2, d1=4, d2=3

So, for the common AP,

a=11, d=LCM3,4=12

Also, an403

n40412

n33.6

n=33

Sn=3322×11+32×12

Sn=6699
