Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The set \(A\) consists of the first 101 terms of an A.P. with first term \(a_1 = 1\) and common difference \(d_1 = 5\). The terms of \(A\) are \(1, 6, 11, 16, \dots, 1 + (101-1) \times 5 = 501\). The set \(B\) consists of the first 71 terms of an A.P. with first term \(b_1 = 9\)…
