If the difference of 25th and 20th term of an increasing AP is 45, then what is the value of d?

-9
Given, a25 − a20=45 ⟹ [a+(25−1)d]−[a+(20−1]d]=45 ⟹ 24d - 19d = 45 ⟹ 5d = 45 ⟹ d = 9.
The 5th term of an AP is 20 and the sum of its 7th and 11th terms is 64. the common difference of the AP is (a) 4 (b) 5 (c) 3 (d) 2
