Solution

The given A.P. is 12, 16, 20, 24,......

Here, a = 12, d = 16 – 12 = 4

Since tn = a + (n – 1)d

t25 = 12 + (25 – 1)(4)

= 12 + 24(4)

= 12 + 96

= 108

∴ 25th term of the given A.P. is 108.

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,......
