Detailed Solution

Given two A.P.’s as 13, 19, 25, ... and 69, 68, 67, ...
We know, the formula of nth term is,
T n =a+ n1 d  .
The first term is a.
The common difference is d.
The number of terms are n.
Therefore, according to the first A.P.,
  T n =13+ n1 6 T n =13+6n6 T n =6n+7   The nth term of 1st A.P is T n =6n+7...... 1  .
Again, for the second A.P.,
T n =69+ n1 1 T n =69n+1 T n =70n   The nth term of A.P is T n =70n......(2)  
Equating equations (1) and (2),
6n+7=70n 6n+n=707 7n=63 n=9  
The 9th term is a common term to both series 13,19,25,....... and 69,68,67,........
Therefore, option 4 is correct.
