In the ratio 3n + 5 : 5n + 7, if you put the value of n as 2n - 1, then you'll get the ratio of nth terms.
So taking n as 2n - 1,
3(2n - 1) + 5 : 5(2n - 1) + 7
⇒ 6n - 3 + 5 : 10n - 5 + 7
⇒ 6n + 2 : 10n + 2
⇒ 3n + 1 : 5n + 1
So this is the answer.
So remember this that, if the ratio of sums of two APs are in the ratio an + b : cn + d, then put the value of n as 2k - 1 to find the ratio of kth terms.
Plz ask me if you've any doubts.
Thank you. :-))

Answer:
3n+1 / 5n+1
Step-by-step explanation:
When you've gotta find the mth term when the AP is n, you replace it with 2m-1 right?
Similarly replace the n of the sum with 2n-1
So 3n+5/5n+7
=3(2n-1)+5/5(2n-1)+7
=6n+2/10n+2
=3n+1/5n+1
Well.. quite simple now innit?
