Verbal Reasoning - Mental Ability Questions

We know that in A.P series
18th term = a + 17d
29th term = a + 28d
But given
a + 17d = 29..........(i)
a + 28d = 18......... (ii)
Solving equation (i) and (ii), we get
d = -1
put d = -1 in any of the above equations and we get,
a = 46
Now, we know 49th term can be written as, a + 48d
putting the value of a and d in the above equation,
a + 48d = 46 + 48(-1)
= 46 - 48
= -2

Hence, the 49th term is -2.

We know that,

Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem::

The Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem states that, when two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, the resulting alternate exterior angles are congruent .

Converse of the Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem ::

Converse of the Alternate Exterior Angles Theorem states that, If two lines are cut by a transversal and the alternate exterior angles are congruent, then the lines are parallel.
