  1. Given A. P 4, 9, 14, …………

    First term (a) = 4,

    nth term is 254

    Common difference (d) = a2 – a1

    d = 9 – 4 = 5

    As we know that, to find nth term in an A.P = a + (n – 1)d

    4 + (n – 1)5 = 254

    (n – 1)∙5 = 250

    n – 1 = 250/5 = 50

    n = 51

    Hence 51th term in the A.P is 254.
