  • question_answer
                    Let\[{{a}_{1}},\,\,{{a}_{2}},\,\,{{a}_{3}},..\] be an A.P. such that\[\frac{{{a}_{1}}+{{a}_{2}}+...+{{a}_{p}}}{{{a}_{1}}+{{a}_{2}}+{{a}_{3}}....+{{a}_{q}}}=\frac{{{\operatorname{p}}^{3}}}{{{\operatorname{q}}^{3}}};p\ne q\].  Then\[\frac{{{a}_{6}}}{{{a}_{21}}}\] is equal to:     JEE Main Online Paper (Held On 09 April 2013)              

    A)                 \[\frac{41}{11}\]                

    B)                 \[\frac{121}{1681}\]                

    C)                 \[\frac{11}{41}\]                

    D)                 \[\frac{121}{1861}\]                

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                    Given that \[\frac{{{a}_{1}}+{{a}_{2}}+....{{a}_{p}}}{{{a}_{1}}+{{a}_{2}}+....+{{a}_{r}}}=\frac{{{p}^{3}}}{{{q}^{3}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{\frac{p}{2}[2{{a}_{1}}+(p-1)d]}{\frac{q}{2}[2{{a}_{1}}+(q-1)d]}=\frac{{{p}^{3}}}{{{q}^{3}}}\]                 When d be a common difference of an AP                 \[\frac{{{a}_{1}}+\left( \frac{p-1}{2} \right)d}{{{a}_{1}}+\left( \frac{q-1}{2} \right)d}=\frac{{{p}^{2}}}{{{q}^{2}}}\] \[\because \]     \[\frac{{{a}_{6}}}{{{a}_{21}}}=\frac{{{a}_{1}}+5d}{{{a}_{1}}+20d}\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{p-1}{2}=5\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[p=11\]                 \[\frac{q-1}{2}=20\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[q=41\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{{{a}_{1}}+5d}{{{a}_{1}}+20d}=\frac{{{11}^{2}}}{{{41}^{2}}}=\frac{121}{1681}\]
