  1. Solution: 

    Given that,

    a9 = 0

    As we know that, to find nth term in an A.P = a + (n – 1)d

    therefore, a + (9 – 1)d = 0 ⇒ a + 8d = 0 ———-(i)

    Now,

    29th term is given by a29 = a + (29 – 1)d

    =a29 = a + 28d

    And, a29 = (a + 8d) + 20d (using (i))

    = a29 = 20d ———-(ii)

    Similarly, 19th term is given by a19 = a + (19 – 1)d

    =a19 = a + 18d

    And, a19 = (a + 8d) + 10d (using (i))

    =a19 = 10d ———(iii)

    On comparing (ii) and (iii), we observe that

    a29 = 2(a19)

    Hence, 29th term is double the 19th term.
