उत्तर
The numbers of rose plants in consecutive rows are 43, 41, 39,..., 11.
Difference of rose plants between two consecutive rows = (41 – 43) = (39 – 41) = –2
[Constant]
So, the given progression is an AP
Here, first term = 43
Common difference = –2
Last term 11
Let n be the last term, then we have:
Tn = a + (n-1) d
⇒ 11= 43 + (n-1) (-2)
⇒ 11=45 - 2n
⇒34=2n
⇒ n=17
Hence, the 17th term is 11 or there are 17 rows in the flower bed.
