Find the 20th term from the last term of the A.P. 3, 8, 13, …, 253.
उत्तर
Given A.P. is
3, 8, 13, …, 253
Common difference for this A.P. is 5.
Therefore, this A.P. can be written in reverse order as
253, 248, 243, …, 13, 8, 3
For this A.P.,
a = 253
d = 248 − 253
d = −5
n = 20
a20 = a + (20 − 1) d
a20 = 253 + (19) (−5)
a20 = 253 − 95
a = 158
Therefore, 20th term from the last term is 158.
