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.
