Find the middle term of the AP 213,205,197,.....37. |
|
Answer» Given, T1 = 213 = a. T2 = 205. Then, d = T2 - T1. d = 205 - 213. d = - 8.Now, Tn = a + (n - 1) × d. 37 = 213 + (n - 1) × (-8). 37 = 213 - 8n + 8. 37 = 221 - 8n. 8n = 221 - 37. 8n = 264. n = 184/8. n = 23. Hence the total no. of terms in the A.P are 23.therefore the no. middle term will be 12.Then, T12 = a + (12 - 1) × d. = a + 11d. = 213 + 11(-8). = 213 - 88. T12 = 125. Take out first no of terms do it\'s half that tern 125 which is 12th term of ap |
