1st child, 2nd child, 3rd child, ....... nth child (to be born after 2 yrs)
What is the difference between first and last terms (children)? (T + 2) yrs
What is the common difference (age difference between two consecutive kids)? J yrs
What is the number of terms (children)? (T + 2)/J + 1
(Number of terms of an AP is n = (Last term - First term)/Common Difference + 1. )
OR
Try with numbers:
They have a child every 3 years (J=3)
child 1 is 1 year old
ch 2 4y
ch 3 7y
ch 4 10y (oldest)
T=10
They have 4 children now
(10+2)/3 =(T+2)/J
After 2 years they will have (T+2)/J +1
