  1. Given that, a11=38   a16=73

    We know that,

    an=a+(n1)d

    a11=a+(111)d

    38=a+10d … (i)

    Similarly,

    a16=a+(161)d

    73=a+15d … (ii)

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

    35=5d

    d=7

    From equation (i),

    38=a+(10)(7)

    3870=a

    a=32

    Now a31=a+(311)d

    =32+30(7)

    =32+210

    =178

    Hence, 31st  term is 178.
