Find the 12th term from the end of the following arithmetic progressions:
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(i)
a=3, d=5 -3=2, an =201
an= a +(n -1)d
201 =3 +2n – 2
N =100
Now, we have to find 12th term from the last that means,
100th – 11=89th term
Then,
a89 =a + (89 – 1)d
=3 +88
=179
Hence, the 12th term from the end of the A.P. is 179.
(ii)
a=3, d= 8 -3 =5
an= 253
a + (n -1)d =253
3 + (n -1)5 =253
n=51
Now, we have to find 12th term from the last that means,
51th -11 = 40th term
Then,
a40 = a + (n -1)d
= 3 + 39(5)
=198
Hence, the 12th term from the end of the A.P. is 198
(iii)
a=1, d= 4 -1 =3
an= 88
a + (n -1)d =88
1 + (n -1)3 =88
n =30
Now, we have to find 12th term from the last that means,
30th -11 = 19th term
a19 = a + 18d
= 1 + 18(3)
=55
Hence, the 12th term from the end of the A.P. is 198.
