Detailed Solution

The 5th and 11th terms of the corresponding A.P. are 45

and 69 respectively. Let a be the first term and d be the common difference

of the  corresponding A.P then, 5th term =a+4d=45…. (i)  and 

11th term = a+10d=69….. (ii) 

Solving   equations   (i) and (ii), we get a=29, d=4  the 16th term of  the A.P=a+15d=29+15(4)=89

Hence, the 16th term  of the H.P = 189
