Question

Write 5th term from the end of the A.P. 3, 5, 7, 9, ..., 201.

 
Sum

Solution

In the given problem, we need to find the 5th term from the end for the given A.P.

3, 5, 7, 9 …201

Here, to find the 5th term from the end let us first find the common difference of the A.P. So,

First term (a) = 3

Last term (an) = 201

Common difference (d) =  5 - 3 = 2 

Now, as we know, the nth term from the end can be given by the formula,

an = l - (n-1) d

So, the 5th term from the end,

a5 = 201 - (5-1)2

     = 201 - (4)2

     = 201 - 8 

     = 193

Therefore, the 5th term from the end of the given A.P. is 193 .
