Question

Find the number of terms in each of the following A.P.

7,13,19,,205


Open in App
Solution

Step 1. Find the common difference

The given arithmetic series is,

7,13,19,,205

We have to find the nth term of an A P.

As we know that the arithmetic progression is a sequence of numbers such that the difference d between consecutive term is a constant.

From the given,

a=7,

So the common difference is

d=13-7

d=6

Step 2. Find the number of terms

Formula to find thenth term of an A P. is,

Tn=[a+n-1×d]

Here, Tn is the nth term, a is first term, n is the number of terms in the sequence and d is a common difference.

tn=205

By using the formula, the nth term is,

205=7+n-1×6

205=6n+1

204=6n

n=34

Hence, the number of terms is 34.
