$a, b, c a r e i n A P w i t h c o m m o n d i f f e r e n c e = d ∴ b - a = c - b = d \Rightarrow b - a = d \Rightarrow a = b - d \Rightarrow b = a + d a n d c - b = d \Rightarrow c = b + d \Rightarrow c = a + 2 d N o w, a - 2 b - c = a - 2 (a + d) - (a + 2 d) = a - 2 a - 2 d - a - 2 d = - 2 a - 4 d$

Solution

Q.
If a, b, c from an AP with common difference d, then the value of $a - 2 b - c$ is equal to

1 $2 a + 4 d$

2 0

Q. If a, b, c from an AP with common difference d, then the value of a-2b-c is equal to

1 2a+4d

2 0

3 -2a-4d

4 -2a-3d

Ans. (3) a,b,care in AP with common difference =d∴ b-a=c-b=d⇒b-a=d⇒a=b-d⇒b=a+dand c-b=d⇒c=b+d⇒c=a+2dNow,a-2 b-c=a-2(a+d)-(a+2d)=a-2a-2d-a-2d=-2a-4d
