Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 58 CONCEPT: The nth term an of the AP with first term a and common difference d is given by an = a + (n – 1) d. CALCULATION : Given A.P = 4, 9, 14, . . . Here, first term a = 4 and common difference d = 5. Let consider 289 be the nth term of the given A.P. Then we have, ⇒ an = 289 ⇒ a + (n-1) d = 289 ⇒ 4 + (n-1) x 5 = 289 ⇒ (n-1) x 5 = 289 – 4 On, Solving we get, ⇒ n - 1 = 57 ⇒ n = 57 + 1 ⇒ n = 58 Hence, option (1) is the correct answer. |
