a = 5, d = 11-5
d = 6
nth term = 301
a +(n-1)d = 301
5+(n-1)6 =301
5+ 6n-6 = 301
-1+6n = 301
6n = 301+1
6n = 302
n = 302/6 (Divide by 2 )
n = 151/3
so,151/3 is not a term of the given list of number.
d = 6
nth term = 301
a +(n-1)d = 301
5+(n-1)6 =301
5+ 6n-6 = 301
-1+6n = 301
6n = 301+1
6n = 302
n = 302/6 (Divide by 2 )
n = 151/3
so,151/3 is not a term of the given list of number.

Hi!
____________________________________
Finding Common difference (d) from the list of numbers
5 , 11, 17 , 23 .......
= 11 - 5
= 6
= 17 -11
= 6
So , We have
First term ( a) = 5
Common Difference (d) = 6
nth term = 301
Putting the value in the Formula
=
=
Here , n is not a positive integer . So , 301 is not a term of the given list of numbers
