प्रश्न

How many terms are there in the A.P.?

7, 10, 13, ... 43.

उत्तर

In the given problem, we are given an A.P.

We need to find the number of terms present in it

So here we will find the value of n using the formula, `a_n = a + (n -1)d`

Here, A.P is  7, 10, 13, ... 43.

The first term (a) = 7

The last term `(a_n)` = 43

Now

Common difference (d) = `a_1 - a`

= 10 - 7

= 3

Thus, using the above mentioned formula, we get,

43 = 7 + (n - 1)3

43 - 7 = 3n - 3

36 + 3 = 3n

`n = 39/3`

n = 13

Thus, n = 13

Therefore, the number of terms present in the given A.P is 13
