Explanation

a_n = 11 + 4n, A_m = 9 + 5m. 11 + 4n = 9 + 5m -> 5m = 4n + 2. For m to be an integer, 4n+2 must be divisible by 5. n=2 (m=2, value=19), n=7 (m=6, value=39), n=12 (m=10, value=59). n follows arithmetic progression with d=5. Last term < 500: 11 + 4n < 500 -> 4n < 489 -> n <= 122. Terms: 2, 7, 12, ..., 122. Number of terms = (122 - 2)/5 + 1 = 25.

B Correct answer
Explanation

The differences between consecutive terms are 1, 3, 6, 10, 15. These differences follow a pattern of adding consecutive integers (1+2=3, 3+3=6, 6+4=10, 10+5=15). Therefore, the next term is 15 + 10 = 25.
