The terms of the first sequence are of the form 4p + 13 The terms of the second sequence are of the form 5q + 11 If a term is common to both the sequences, it is of the form 4p+13 and 5q+11 or 4p = 5q -2. LHS = 4p is always even, so, q is also even. or 2p = 5r - 1 where q = 2r. Notice that LHS is again even, hence r should be odd. Let r = 2m+1 for some m. Hence, p = 5m + 2. So, the number = 4p+13 = 20m + 21. Hence, all numbers of the form 20m + 21 will be the common terms. i.e 21,41,61,...,401 = 20.
