उत्तर
The given AP is 21,18,15,.......
First term, a = 21
Common difference, d= 18 -21 =-3
Suppose nth term of the given AP is - 81. then,
an = -81
⇒ 21 +(n-1) × (-3) =-81 [an = a + (n-1)d]
⇒ -3 (n-1) = -81 -21=-102
⇒ `n-1 = 102/3 = 34`
⇒ n= 34+1=35
Hence, the 35th term of the given AP is -81.

Find the sum of natural numbers between 1 to 140, which are divisible by 4.
Activity: Natural numbers between 1 to 140 divisible by 4 are, 4, 8, 12, 16,......, 136
Here d = 4, therefore this sequence is an A.P.
a = 4, d = 4, tn = 136, Sn = ?
tn = a + (n – 1)d
`square` = 4 + (n – 1) × 4
`square` = (n – 1) × 4
n = `square`
Now,
Sn = `"n"/2["a" + "t"_"n"]`
Sn = 17 × `square`
Sn = `square`
Therefore, the sum of natural numbers between 1 to 140, which are divisible by 4 is `square`.
