Concept:
Odd numbers can be defined as the numbers which are completely divisible by 2.
Given:
The first term and difference.
Find:
50th odd number.
Solution:
This can be calculated using Arithmetic progression.
Having the a = 1 and d = 2, as two odd numbers are differ by 2, where a is the first term and d is a common difference.
nth term is calculated using,
x = a + ( n - 1 )d
here, x is the nth term and we have to calculate the 50th term.
Substituting the values,
x = a + ( n - 1 )d
x = 1 + ( 50 - 1 ) × 2
x = 1 + ( 49 × 2 )
x = 1 + 98 = 99
Hence, the 50th odd number is 99.
