उत्तर

Given A.P. is

3, 8, 13, …, 253

Common difference for this A.P. is 5.

Therefore, this A.P. can be written in reverse order as

253, 248, 243, …, 13, 8, 3

For this A.P.,

a = 253

d = 248 − 253

d = −5

n = 20

a20 = a + (20 − 1) d

a20 = 253 + (19) (−5)

a20 = 253 − 95

a = 158

Therefore, 20th term from the last term is 158.
