Solution:
Let a1 and a2 be the initial terms of two APs, respectively.
And let d be the common difference between these APs.
For the first A.P.,we know,
an = a+(n−1)d
Therefore,
a100 = a1+(100−1)d
= a1 + 99d
a1000 = a1+(1000−1)d
a1000 = a1+999d
For second A.P., we know that,
an = a+(n−1)d
Therefore,
a100 = a2+(100−1)d
= a2+99d
a1000 = a2+(1000−1)d
= a2+999d
Given that, the difference between the two APs’ 100th terms equals 100.
Therefore, (a1+99d) − (a2+99d) = 100
a1−a2 = 100……………………………………………………………….. (i)
Difference between the two APs’ 1000th terms
(a1+999d) − (a2+999d) = a1−a2
From equation (i),
This difference, a1−a2 = 100
As a result, the difference between the two A.P. 1000th terms will be 100.
