If the 9th term of an arithmetic progression is zero, then its 29th term is:

Competition practiceAlgebra
  • Aequal to its 19th term
  • Bhalf its 19th term
  • Ctwice its 19th term
  • Dthree times its 19th term

Step-by-Step Solution

a + 8d = 0 gives a = −8d. Then the 19th term is a + 18d = 10d and the 29th term is a + 28d = 20d, so the 29th term is twice the 19th term (for any non-zero d).
Answer: C) twice its 19th term
