CD = 3BD
Now, BD + DC = BC
BD + 3BD = BC

20. The sum of first six terms of an arithmetic progression is 42. The ratio of its
10th term to its 30th term is 1 : 3. Calculate the first and the thirteenth term of
the A.P.
Solution:
Let a be the first term and d be the common difference of the given A. P.
It is known that the nth term of an A.P. is given by an = a + (n – 1)d and the
n
sum of the first n terms is given by S n [2a (n 1)d ] .
