We have nth term of an A.P is  {tex}{ T }_{ n }=a+\left( n-1 \right) d{/tex}

Now {tex}{ T }_{ 6 }=19\Rightarrow a+5d=19.............(i)\\ { T }_{ 17 }=41\Rightarrow a+16d=41..........(ii){/tex}

Subtracting  equation(i) from(ii), we get

{tex}11d=22\Rightarrow d=\frac { 22 }{ 11 } =2{/tex}

Now from equation (i) we get 

{tex}a+10=19\Rightarrow a=9{/tex}

Hence we get {tex}{ T }_{ 40 }=a+39d=9+39\left( 2 \right) =9+78=87{/tex}

So the 40th term is 87.
