Detailed Solution

Given that the 19th term of an AP is equal to 3 times its 6th term and the 9th terms of A.P. is 19.
Formula used for n th term of A.P.:  a n =a+ n1 d a 19 =3 a 6
Applying the formula of nth term of A.P.,
a 19 =a+(191)d a 6 =a+(61)d a+(191)d=3{a+(61)d} a+18d=3a+15d a= 3d 2 (1)
a 9 =19 a+(91)d=19 a+8d=19(2)
Put the value of equation (1) to equation (2):
3d 2 +8d=19 3d+16d=38 19d=38 d=2 Put the value of d in equation (1)
a= 3×2 2 a=3
Put the value of a and d in the general series,
(3),[3+2],[3+2×2],[3+3×2], or (3),(5),(3+4),(3+6), or(3),(5),(7),(9),
Therefore, the A.P. series is 3,5,7,9....
Thus, the given statement is true.
Hence, option (1) is correct.
