(C) For $S_1$,the first term $a_1 = 1$ and common difference $d_1 = 6 - 1 = 5$.The general term is $T_n = 1 + (n - 1)5 = 5n - 4$.For $S_2$,the first term $a_2 = 3$ and common difference $d_2 = 7 - 3 = 4$.The general term is $T_m = 3 + (m - 1)4 = 4m - 1$.To find common terms,set $5n - 4 = 4m - 1$,which implies $5n = 4m + 3$.The first common term is $11$ (when $n=3, m=3$).The common difference of the new $A.P.$ formed by common terms is $LCM(d_1, d_2) = LCM(5, 4) = 20$.The $k^{th}$ common term is given by $T_k = 11 + (k - 1)20$.For the $25^{th}$ common term $(k = 25)$:$T_{25} = 11 + (25 - 1)20 = 11 + 24 	imes 20 = 11 + 480 = 491$.
