AP2 - AP - Complete The Series (Easy) |
Arithmetic and geometric Progressions are 2 of the well known progressions in maths.
Arithmetic progression (AP) is a set in which the difference between 2 numbers in constant. for e.g., 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 ... In this series the difference between 2 numbers is 2.
The task here is very simple indeed.
You will be given the 3rd term, 3rd last term and the sum of the series. You need print length of the series and the series.
Input
First line will contain a number indicating the number of test cases.
Each of the following t lines will have 3 number '3term', '3Lastterm' and 'sum'
3term - is the 3rd term in of the series and
3Lastterm - is the 3rd term in of the series and
sum - is the sum of the series.
Output
For each input of the test case, you need to print 2 lines.
First line should have 1 value - the number of terms in the series.
2nd line of the output should print the series numbers separated by single space.
Example
Input: 1 3 8 55 Output: 10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
NOTE:
- In all the test cases, all the series elements are positive integers.
- The series will have at least 7 elements.
- number of test cases <=100.
- All the numbers will fit in 64 bits (long long in C)

Just one thing you need to know: (1st term + last term) = (2nd term + 2nd last term)= (3rd term + third last term) and so on.. rest all is simple, also no need to go into quadratic equations. |

is it possible to solve in java? because of time constraint. please advice. |

1st term + last term = 2nd term + last 2nd term = 3rd term + last 3rd term this observation is helpful and directly gives n |

It's misconception here in statements that n >=7. I'm pretty sure it's >= 6. |

guys, don't go to quadratic. try to solve it in linear equation itself. SPOILERS: Try to remember that sn = n/2*(first term + last term) ..(you can actually and simply derive). And also don't take 3rd and last3rd as some variable and start the problem.It will complicate you. take starting element as some variable.Then get other elements from it. Simple basic maths related to Arithmatic progression , which we learned in child. |
