  1. Given that,

    3rd term, a3 = 12

    50th term, a50 = 106

    We know that,

    an = a+(n−1)d

    a3 = a+(3−1)d

    12 = a+2d ……………………………. (i)

    In the same way,

    a50 a+(50−1)d

    106 = a+49d …………………………. (ii)

    On subtracting equation (i) from (ii), we get

    94 = 47d

    d = 2 = common difference

    From equation (i), we can write now,

    12 = a+2(2)

    a = 12−4 = 8

    a29 = a+(29−1) d

    a29 = 8+(28)2

    a29 = 8+56 = 64

    Therefore, 29th term is 64.
