Solution

The correct option is B 189
AP: $- 21, \frac{- 21}{2}, 0, \frac{21}{2}, 21, . . . . .$
Here $a = - 21$
and $d = \frac{- 21}{2} - (- 21) = \frac{- 21}{2} + 21 = \frac{21}{2}$
Now, $a_{n} = a + (n - 1) d$
$a_{21} = a + (21 - 1) d = - 21 + 20 \times \frac{21}{2}$
$= - 21 + 10 \times 21$
$= - 21 + 210$
$= 189$
Hence, the correct answer is option (2).
