उत्तर

Sn = 5n2 + 3n

Put n = 1

S1 = T1 = 5 + 3 = 8

Put n = 2

S2 = 5(2)2 + 3 + 2 = 26

T2 = S2 – S1 = 26 – 8 = 18

S3 = 5(3)2 + 3 + 3 = 54

T3 = S3 – S2 = 54 – 26

= 28

Therefore, first term, a = 8 and common difference = 18 – 8 = 10 

Tm = a + (m – 1) d 

168 = 8 + (m – 1) 10

168 = 8 + 10m – 10

170 = 10m

m = 17

T20 = 8 + (20 – 1) 10

= 8 + 19 × 10

= 198
