Question:
In an AP, if $7$ times the $7$th term equals $11$ times the $11$th term, the $18$th term is:
$0$
$1$
$18$
Cannot be determined
Step-by-Step Solution
Key Concept: Use the standard identity: if $m\cdot a_m = n\cdot a_n$ for $m<br>eq n$, then $a_{m+n}=0$.
Here $m=7,n=11$, and $m+n=18$, so by the standard identity $a_{18}=0$. [1.0 Mark]
Correct Answer: $0$
