    Let \[{{a}_{n}}\] be the \[{{n}^{th}}\] term of an A.P. If \[\sum\limits_{r=1}^{{{10}^{99}}}{{{a}_{2r}}}={{10}^{100}}\] and \[\sum\limits_{r=\,1}^{{{10}^{99}}}{{{a}_{2r-1}}}={{10}^{99}},\] then the common difference of the A.P. is

    A)  \[1\]                     

    B)  \[9\]

    C)  \[10\]                                  

    D)  \[{{10}^{99}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Let\[d\]be the common difference of the A.P. then \[{{a}_{2r}}={{a}_{2r-1}}+d\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\sum\limits_{r\,=\,1}^{{{10}^{99}}}{{{a}_{2r}}}=\sum\limits_{r\,=\,1}^{{{10}^{99}}}{({{a}_{2r-1}}+d)}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\sum\limits_{r\,=\,1}^{{{10}^{99}}}{{{a}_{2r}}}=\sum\limits_{r\,=\,1}^{{{10}^{99}}}{{{a}_{2r-1}}}+{{10}^{99}}d\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{10}^{100}}={{10}^{99}}+{{10}^{99}}d\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[d=\frac{{{10}^{100}}-{{10}^{99}}}{{{10}^{99}}}=\frac{{{10}^{99}}(10-1)}{{{10}^{99}}}=9\]
