Question:
If the ratio of the sum of the first n terms of two A.Ps is(7n 1):(4n 27), then find the ratio of their 9th term?
Answer:

Let a1 and d1 are the first term and common difference of the first AP

and a2 and d2 are the first term and common difference of the second AP

Given, the ratio of the sum of the first n terms of two A.Ps = (7n + 1) : (4n + 27)

=> S1 /S2 = (7n + 1)/(4n + 27) .................1

=> {2a1 + (n-1)d1 }/{2a2 + (n-1)d2 } = (7n + 1)/(4n + 27)

Now, T9 /t9 = {a1 + (9-1)d1 }/{a2 + (9-1)d2 }

=> T9 /t9 = {a1 + 9d1 }/{a2 + 9d2 }

=> T9 /t9 = {2a1 + 2*9d1 }/{2a2 + 2*9d2 }

=> T9 /t9 = {2a1 + 18d1 }/{2a2 + 18d2 }

=> T9 /t9 = {2a1 + (19-1)d1 }/{2a2 + (19-1)d2 }

=> T9 /t9 = (7*19 + 1)/(4*19 + 27) ....................from equation 1

=> T9 /t9 = (153 + 1)/(76 + 27)

=> T9 /t9 = 154/103

=> T9 : t9 = 154 : 103

So, ration of 9th term of AP is 154 : 103
