9th term is -6 n d = 5/2

a + (9-1)*5/2 = -6

a + 8*5/2 = -6

a + 20 = -6

a = -26

so 27th term-

a + (27-1) 5/2

= -16 + 26*5

= -16 + 65

= (-16+65)

= 49

thus the 27th term is 49

anumanikandan: i asked 4 25ty term
anumanikandan: 25th*
meezan0571: Common difference is given 5/4, first term would come out to be -16,hence 25th term would be 14
anumanikandan: how come 14?
meezan0571: 14 is wrong??
anumanikandan: its 44
meezan0571: Question u have written different and question written in Attachment is different,i have solved question written in attachment,which will result into answer of -16+(25-1)(5/4)=14,if i am taking d=5/4 as you written than answer would be 44 like -16+(25-1)*(5/2)= -16+60 = 44.
anumanikandan: sry and tq
meezan0571: *If i am taking d=5/2 as u written
