Fill in the blanks in the following table, given that a is the first term, d the common difference and an the nth term of the AP:
Choose the correct choice in the following and justify :
30th term of the AP: 10, 7, 4, . . . , is
(A) 97 (B) 77 (C) –77 (D) – 87
The given A. P. is 10, 7, 4
Here, a = 10
d = 7 - 10 = -3
and n = 30
We know that, an = 1 + (n - 1) d
So, a30 = 10 + (30 - 1) (-3)
a30 = 10 - 87
a30 = -77
Hence the correct choice is (C) = - 77.
Choose the correct choice in the following and justify :
30th term of the AP: 10, 7, 4, . . . , is
11th term of the A.P. is
