Question

Which term of the A.P. 3, 8, 13, ... is 248?

Advertisements

Solution

 3, 8, 13...
Here, we have:
a = 3

\[d = \left( 8 - 3 \right) = 5\]

\[\text { Let } a_n = 248\]

\[ \Rightarrow a + \left( n - 1 \right)d = 248\]

\[ \Rightarrow 3 + \left( n - 1 \right)5 = 248\]

\[ \Rightarrow \left( n - 1 \right)5 = 245\]

\[ \Rightarrow n - 1 = 49\]

\[ \Rightarrow n = 50\]

Hence, 248 is the 50th term of the given A.P.
