Check whether -150 is a term of the A.P. 11, 8, 5, 2, ....

उत्तर

For this A.P.,

a = 11

d = a2 − a1

= 8 − 11

= −3

Let −150 be the nth term of this A.P.

We know that,

an = a + (n − 1) d

-150 = 11 + (n - 1)(-3)

-150 = 11 - 3n + 3

-164 = -3n

n = `164/3`

Clearly, n is not an integer.

Therefore, -150 is not a term of this A.P.
