उत्तर
The given sequence is 24, 17, 10, 3,......
Here, t1 = 24, t2 = 17, t3 = 10, t4 = 3
∴ t2 – t1 = 17 – 24 = – 7
t3 – t2 = 10 – 17 = – 7
t4 – t3 = 3 – 10 = – 7
∴ t2 – t1 = t3 – t2 = ... = – 7 = d = constant
The difference between two consecutive terms is constant.
∴ The given sequence is an A.P.
tn = a + (n – 1)d
= 24 + (n – 1)(– 7)
= 24 – 7n + 7
= 31 – 7n

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`
There are `square` two-digit numbers divisible by 5.
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,......
