The ratio of their $n$-th term. The sum of $n$ terms of two arithmetic series are in the ratio of $(7n+ 1) : (4n+ 27)$. We have to find the ratio of their $n$-th term.
�
I tried to find the ratio by using the formula of summation of A.P.
But it becomes too long due to many variables that is $a_1,a_2,d_1,d_2$
 A: It is actually quite simple. Let $a_1$ and $a_1'$ denote the first terms of the first and second progressions with their common differences $d$ and $d'$ respectively. We thus get $$\frac{S_1}{S_2} = \frac {0.5n (2a_1 +(n-1)d)}{0.5n (2a_1' +(n-1)d')} = \frac {2a_1+(n-1)d}{2a_1' +(n-1)d'} = \frac {7n+1}{4n+27} $$ 
The ratio of the $n$th term of the two AP's can be thus calculated as $$\frac{a_n}{a_n'} = \frac {a_1 +(n-1)d}{a_1'+(n-1)d'} = \frac {2a_1 +((2n-1)-1)d}{2a_1' + ((2n-1)-1)d'} $$ $$=\frac {S_{2n-1}}{S_{2n-1}'} = \frac {14n-6}{8n+23} $$ Hope it helps. 
A: Hint: The sum of $nth$ term of a AP is given by $$\frac{n}{2}[a+a_n]$$.The ratio of first term can easily be found out by putting $n=1$.So it is easy to find out the ratio of $nth$ term using this.
A: We have $$\frac{7n+1}{4n+27}=\dfrac{\dfrac n2\{2a_1+(n-1)d_1\}}{\dfrac n2\{2a_2+(n-1)d_2\}}=\dfrac{a_1+\dfrac{(n-1)}2\cdot d_1}{a_2+\dfrac{(n-1)}2\cdot d_2}$$
Replace $\dfrac{n-1}2$ with $m-1\iff n=2m-1$ to find the ratio of their $m$th term.
A: The sum to $n$ terms of an AP is of the form $\lambda(An^2+Bn)$, (where $A,B, \lambda$ are constants) although when taking ratios for the sums for two APs, $n, \lambda$ cancel out, giving $\frac{^1An+^1B}{^2An+^2B}$. The ratio of the $n$-th terms can be derived by considering the ratio of the differences between the sum to $n$ terms and sum to $(n-1)$ terms respectively, based on the given ratio of sums but first adjusting for the point described above. 
$$\begin{align}
\frac {^1u_n}{^2u_n}&=\frac{^1S_n-^1S_{n-1}}{^2S_n-^2S_{n-1}}\\
&=\frac{\color{blue}n[7n+1]-\color{blue}{(n-1)}[7(n-1)+1]}{\color{blue}n[4n+27]-\color{blue}{(n-1)}[4(n-1)+27]}\\
&=\frac{7[n^2-(n-1)^2]+1}{4[n^2-(n-1)^2]+27}\\
&=\frac{7(2n-1)+1}{4(2n-1)+27}
\color{lightgrey}{=\frac{7N+1}{4N+27}=\frac {^1S_{N}}{^2S_N}}\\
&=\color{red}{\frac {14n-6}{8n+23}}\end{align}$$ 
Note that, as also pointed out in other solutions posted earlier, this is the same as the ratio of the sum to $N$ terms of the two APs  where $N=2n-1$.
A: Let $a_1$, $a_2$ be the first terms and $d_1$, $d_2$ the common differences of the given APs. Then, their sum of $n$ terms are given by: $S_{n}=\frac{n}{2}\left[2 a_{1}+(n-1) d_{1}\right]$ and $S_{n}^{\prime}=\frac{n}{2}\left[2 a_{2}+(n-1) d_{2}\right]$
On dividing, we get:
$$
\frac{2 a_{1}+(n-1) d_{1}}{2 a_{2}+(n-1) d_{2}}=\frac{(7 n+1)}{(4 n+27)}
$$
$\therefore$ The ratio of their 11 th terms $=\frac{a_{1}+10 d_{1}}{a_{2}+10 d_{2}}=\frac{2 a_{1}+20 d_{1}}{2 a_{2}+20 d_{2}}$
$=\frac{2 a_{1}+(21-1) d_{1}}{2 a_{2}+(21-1) d_{2}}=\frac{(7 \times 21+1)}{(4 \times 21+27)}=\frac{148}{111} \quad[$ Putting $n=21$ in (iii) ]
Hence, the required ratio is $148: 111$.
