Which term of the AP 21, 18, 15, …… is -81?

उत्तर

The given AP is 21,18,15,.......
First term, a =  21
Common difference, d= 18 -21 =-3

Suppose  nth  term of the given AP is  - 81. then,

a= -81

⇒ 21 +(n-1) × (-3) =-81               [an = a + (n-1)d] 

⇒ -3 (n-1) = -81 -21=-102

⇒  `n-1 = 102/3 = 34`

⇒ n= 34+1=35

Hence, the 35th term of the given AP is -81.
