  1. AP is 5, 15, 25,…
    First term = a = 5
    Common difference = d = 15 – 5 = 10
    Find 31st term:
    a_31 = a + (n – 1)d
    = 5 + (31 – 1) 10
    = 5 + 30 x 10
    = 305
    Required term = 305 + 130 = 435
    Now, say 435 be the nth term, then
    a_n = a + (n – 1)d
    435 = 5 + (n – 1)10
    435 – 5 = (n – 1)10
    n – 1 = 43
    n = 44
    The required term will be 44th term.
