Question

2. In an A.P, a = 5, d = 3 then 5th term

Answer 1

Given:-

• a = 5

• d = 3

• n = 5

To Find:-

• 5th term $(a_5)$ of an A.P.

Formula used:-

• $a_n= a+(n-1)d$

Solution:-

$⟹a_n= a+(n-1)d$

$⟹a_5= 5+(5-1)3$

$⟹a_5= 5+4×3$

$⟹a_5=5+12$

${\boxed{⟹a_5=17}}$

Hence, The 5th term of given A.P is 17.

Answer 2

Answer = 17

explanation : a = 5

d = 3

n = 5

nth term = a + (n-1)d

= 5 + (5-1)3

= 5 + (4×3)

= 17.

Therefore 5 th term of A. P = 17
