Which term of the A.P. 4, 9, 14, 19 … is 289?1. 582. 603. 404. 45

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.
