Solution
The given A.P. is 5, 8, 11, 14,......
Here, a = 5, d = 8 – 5 = 3, tn = 68
Since tn = a + (n – 1)d,
68 = 5 + (n – 1)(3)
∴ 68 = 5 + 3n – 3
∴ 68 = 2 + 3n
∴ 66 = 3n
∴ n = `66/3`
∴ n = 22

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`
