first we should find the number of terms
5,2,..-1.........-49
according to AP
a+(n-1)×d
No. of terms =5+(n-1)×-3
5-3n+3=-49
8-3n=-49
-3n=-49-8
-3n=-57
n=19

therefore the no.of terms is 19..
and
3rd term from the last ,
a+(n-1)×d
a=-49,n=3 and d=3
-49+(3-1)×3
-49+6
=-43 is the 3rd term from the last
