Question
Find the 27th term of the following A.P.
9, 4, –1, –6, –11,...
Solution
The given sequence is 9, 4, –1, –6, –11,...
Here,
First term (a) = 9
Common difference (d) = a2 – a1 = 4 – (9) = –5
Now,
\[a_{27} = a + \left( n - 1 \right)d\]
\[ = 9 + \left( 27 - 1 \right)\left( - 5 \right)\]
\[ = 9 + \left( 26 \right)\left( - 5 \right)\]
\[ = - 121\]
Hence, the 27th term of the progression is –121.

How many two-digit numbers are divisible by 5?
Activity :- Two-digit numbers divisible by 5 are, 10, 15, 20, ......, 95.
Here, d = 5, therefore this sequence is an A.P.
Here, a = 10, d = 5, tn = 95, n = ?
tn = a + (n − 1) `square`
`square` = 10 + (n – 1) × 5
`square` = (n – 1) × 5
`square` = (n – 1)
Therefore n = `square`

Decide whether 301 is term of given sequence 5, 11, 17, 23, .....
Activity :- Here, d = `square`, therefore this sequence is an A.P.
a = 5, d = `square`
Let nth term of this A.P. be 301
tn = a + (n – 1) `square`
301 = 5 + (n – 1) × `square`
301 = 6n – 1
n = `302/6` = `square`
But n is not positive integer.
Therefore, 301 is `square` the term of sequence 5, 11, 17, 23, ......
