what "d1 and d2 of two APs" stands for?
but I tried to solve the first problem as follow:
I equated each answer to the ratio 2n+3:n-11, and solve the one that yield an integer is the right answer. e.g
2n+3:n-11=1:3, after computation it yields 4.
Would you please post the answer for both.
which is the best answer
1:3
