    The production of TV in a factory increases uniformly by a fixed number every year. It produced 8000 sets in 6th year and 11300 in 9th year. Find the production in the 6 years.

    A) 40500             

    B) 20000             

    C)        20500        

    D)        31500                         

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Since, production of TV in 6th year = 8000 \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{a}_{6}}=8000\Rightarrow a+5d=8000\]             ....(i) Also, production of TV in 9th year = 11300 \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{a}_{9}}=11300\]or\[a+8d=11300\]        ....(ii) Subtracting (i) from (ii), we get \[3d=3300\,\,\Rightarrow \,d=1100\] From (i), a = 2500 \[\therefore \]   Production in 6 years, i.e., \[{{S}_{6}}=\frac{6}{2}\left[ 2\left( 2500 \right)+\left( 6-1 \right)\left( 1100 \right) \right]=31500\]
