Which term of the A.P. 121, 117, 113 … is its first negative term?

[Hint: Find n for an < 0]

योग

उत्तर

Given A.P. is 121, 117, 113 …

a = 121

d = 117 − 121

d = −4

an = a + (n − 1) d

= 121 + (n − 1) (−4)

= 121 − 4n + 4

= 125 − 4n

We have to find the first negative term of this A.P.

Therefore, an < 0

125 - 4n < 0

125 < 4n

`n > 125/4`

n > 31.25

Therefore, 32nd term will be the first negative term of this A.P.
