Question

$0$ (zero) is a term of the A.P $40,37,34,31,....$. True or false?

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

We have,

$a_n=a+(n-1)d$

Let's check

$0=40+(n-1)(-3)$

solving the above equation, we get,

$n=\frac{43}{3}$

as, $n$ is not an integer value, $0$ cannot be a term of series .
