    				| 1. | which term of the A.P. : 120, 116, 112,..... is first negative term? | 
| Answer» In the given `A.P.`, First term, `a = 120` Common difference `d = -4` `:. T_n = a+(n-1)d = 120 - 4(n-1) = 124-4n` For, `T_n` to be negative, `124-4n lt 0` `=> 4n gt 124 => n gt 31` So, for `n = 32`, `T_n` will be negative. So, `32^(nd)` term of the given `A.P.` will be the first negative term. | |
