Which term of the AP 3, 8, 13, 18, … is 88?

Answer»

Let nth term is 88.

AP is 3, 8, 13, 18, …

Here,

First term = a = 3

Common difference = d = 8 – 3 = 5

nth term of AP is a_n = a + (n – 1) d

Now,

88 = 3 + (n – 1)(5)

88 – 3 = (n – 1) x 5

n – 1 = 88 /5

or n = 17 + 1 = 18

Therefore: 88 is the 18th term.
