Solution

The correct option is C: 32

Here, first term, a=10, common difference, d=710=3, last term, l=62,

Where, l=a+(n1)d

To find the 11th term from the last term, we will find the total number of terms in the AP.

So, 62=10+(n1)(3)

i.e., 72=(n1)(3)

i.e., n1=24

or, n=25

So, there are 25 terms in the given AP.

These are a1,a2,a3,a4,a5,a6,a7,a8,a9,a10,a11,a12,a13,a14,a15,a16,a17,a18,a19,a20,a21,a22,a23,a24,a25

The 11th term from the last term will be the 15th term from the start.

So, a15=a+(n1)d

=10+(151)(3)=1042=32

i.e., the 11th term from the last term is 32.
