Consider an arithmetic series and a geometric series having four initial terms from the set11,8,21,16,26,32,4. If the last terms of these series are the maximum possible four digit numbers, then the number of common terms in these two series is equal to _______.

Answer:
3
Solution:

Given set=11,8,21,16,26,32,4

Given an arithmetic series and a geometric series having the first four terms from the given set. 

Then, 

Geometric series : 4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024,2048,4096,8192

Arithmetic series: 11,16,21,26,31,36,...,256,....4096,...

Tn (G.P.)=4·2n-1

Tn (A.P.)=11+5n-1=5n+6

For common terms, 4·2n-1=5n+6

So, common terms are 16,256,4096 only.
