There are two arithmetic progression, A1 and A2, whose first terms are 3 and 5 respectively and whose common difference are 6 and 8 respectively. How many terms of the series are in common in the first n terms of A1 and A2, if the sum of the nth terms of A1 and A2 is equal to 6,000?

Expert Answer
nth term of Arithmetic progression A1 = 3 + (n-1)6
nth term of Arithmetic progression A2 = 5 + (n-1)8
Sum of both nth terms = 14n - 6 = 6000 or n = 429
let pth term of A1 equals qth term of A2 : then we have, 3+(p-1)6 = 5+(q-1)8 or 3p = 4q
from the above equation, we know that 4-th term of A1 or multiples of 4-th term of A1 is equal to
3-rd term of A2 or respective muliples of 3-rd term of A2
if last multiple of 4-th term in first 429 terms of A1 is 428, then this number is 107-th multiple of 4-th term
Corresponding 107-th multiple of 3-rd term in A2 is 321
hence we have, 107 common terms of A1 and A2 in first 429 terms.
