If the ratio of the sum of n terms of two AP is (4n+2): (3n+47)
we need to find the ratio of the 9th term
Let a,a' and d, d' are the first term and common difference of the two APs
general term of the AP = a+(n-1)d and = a'+(n-1)d'
Sum to n terms of the AP will be n/2(2a+(n-1)d) and n/2(2a'+(n-1)d')
(2a+(n-1)d) /(2a'+(n-1)d') = (4n+2): (3n+47)
(a+(n-1)/2d ): (a'+(n-1)/2d') = (4n+2): (3n+47)
Substitute n = 17 on both sides to get the ratio of 9th term
(a+8d ):(a'+8d') = 5:7
