Answer 2

$\boxed{\tt \dagger Given :- \dagger}$

11th term of AP is 38 and,

16th term of AP is 73.

$\boxed{ \tt \dagger To find :- \dagger}$

The 31st term of AP = ?

$\boxed{ \tt \dagger Solution :- \dagger}$

Let first term of AP be a

Let first term of AP be aand common difference be d

Let first term of AP be aand common difference be dNow,

$\tt \red{a_{11}=38a}$

$\tt\longrightarrow \green{a+10d=38\:.............(i)}$

And,

$\blue{\tt\:a_{16}=73a}$

$\tt\longrightarrow\pink{a+15d=73\:.............(ii)}$

From eq (i) and eq (ii),

a + 10d = 38 ‿︵‿︵│

-5d = -35

$\purple{ \tt⤇ d = \dfrac{-35}{-5} }$

$\orange{ \tt⤇ d = 7}$

Now,

Substitute the value of d in equation (i),

$\tt a + 10d = 38 \\ \tt⤇ a + 10 × 7 = 38 \\ \tt⤇ a + 70 = 38 \\ \tt⤇ a = 38 - 70 \\ \tt⤇ a = -32$

Then,

$\gray{\tt\:a_{31}=a+30da }$

$\tt\longrightarrow\:a_{31}=-32+30\times{7} \\ \tt\longrightarrow\:a_{31}=-32+210 \\ \tt\longrightarrow\:a_{31}=178$

Hence, the 31st term of an AP was $\boxed{\sf\pink{178.}}$
