Let the first term be 1213 and the second term be 25.
Therefore, the common difference is −14115.
Let the last term Tn be the last term.
Therefore, Tn=a+(n−1)d
⇒Tn=1223+(n−1)(−14115)
⇒Tn=(74−14n115)
Now, find n such that it given the largest positive term.
For n=1, ⇒T1=1223
For n=2, ⇒T2=25
For n=3, ⇒T3=32115
For n=4, ⇒T4=18115
For n=5, ⇒T5=4115
For n=6, ⇒T6=−223
Notice that from n=6 onwards the terms in the series are negative.
Hence the largest positive term of the A.P. is 4115.
Thus, for n=5 the largest positive term obtained.
