Correct answer
D

Step-by-step explanation

a1, a2, a3 .... are in A.P. (Let common difference is d1)

b1, b2, b3 .... are in A.P. (Let common difference is d2)

and a1 = 2, a10 = 3, a1b1 = 1 = a10b10

a1b1 = 1

b1 =

a10b10 = 1

b10 =

Now, a10 = a1 + 9d1 d1 =

b10 = b1 + 9d2 d2 = =

Now, a4 = 2 + =

b4 = =

a4b4 =
