Given AP is 3, 8, 13, 18,…
First term = a = 3
Common difference = d = 8 – 3 = 5
And n = 20 and a_20 be the 20th term, then
a_20 = a + (n – 1)d
= 3 + (20 – 1) 5
= 3 + 95
= 98
The required term = 98 + 55 = 153
Now, 153 be the nth term, then
a_n = a + (n – 1)d
153 = 3 + (n – 1) x 5
153 – 3 = 5(n – 1)
150 = 5(n – 1)
n – 1 = 30
n = 31
Required term will be 31st term.
