    If am denotes the mth term  of an A.P. then am = 

    A) \[\frac{2}{{{a}_{m+k}}+{{a}_{m-k}}}\]

    B) \[\frac{{{a}_{m+k}}-{{a}_{m-k}}}{2}\]

    C) \[\frac{{{a}_{m+k}}+{{a}_{m-k}}}{2}\]

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     \[{{a}_{m+k}}=A+(m+k-1)\,D\] and \[{{a}_{m-k}}=A+(m-k-1)\,D\] Adding both equations, we get \[\frac{{{a}_{m+k}}+{{a}_{m-k}}}{2}=A+(m-1)\,D={{a}_{m}}\].
