(c)
Let the first term and common difference of the first A.P. and the first6 term and commo0n difference of the second A.P. and let the number of terms be . Then,
(1)
(2)
From (1) and (2), we get
(3)
(4)
(5)
gives
(6)
gives
(7)
Further, gives
Or
Putting in (3) and solving it with (4), we get
Then, the ratio of their terms is
