Find the sequence of natural numbers which lives remained 1 on divisible by 3. Find it's 40th term.
Answers
Answer:
The three digit numbers which are divisible by 9 are
108,117,126,...……..999
which forms an A.P
the first term of this A.P is a
1
=108
second term of this A.P is a
2
=117
common difference of this A.P is
d=a
2
−a
1
=117−108=9
the nth term of this A.P is given by
a
n
=a
1
=(n−1)d
⟹a
n
=108+(n−1)9
⟹a
n
=108+9n−9
⟹a
n
=99+9n......eq(1)
since last term of this A.P is a
n
=999
hence for finding the number of terms (n) in this A.P put a
n
=999 in eq(1)
⟹999=99+9n
⟹9n=999−99
⟹9n=900
⟹n=
9
900
⟹n=100
hence there are 100 three digit terms which are divisible by 9.
Step-by-step explanation:
The sequence must be in the form of 3k+1
So the sequence is 1,4,7,10,....
The sequence must be in the form of 3k+2
So the sequence is 2,5,8,11,⋯⋯
