Solution

The correct option is A

34, 27


(i)
7,13,19....,205

First term, a=7

Common difference, d=137=1913=6

an=205

Using formula an=a+(n1)d to find nth term of arithmetic progression, we get

an=a+(n1)d

205=7+(n1)6

205=6n+1

204=6n

n=2046=34

Therefore, there are 34 terms in the given arithmetic progression.


(ii)
18,312,13,...47

First term, a=18

Common difference, d=31218=52

an=47

Using formula an=a+(n1)d to find nth term of arithmetic progression, we get

an=a+(n1)d

47=18+(n1)(52)

47=185n2+52

Multiplying by 2 on both sides, we get,

94=365n+5

5n=94+36+5=135

n=1355=27

Therefore, there are 27 terms in the given arithmetic progression.
