Answer 1

Answer:

no 302 is not the term of this ap

Answer 2

To find:

Is 302 a term of A.P. 3,8,13..?

Solution:

Given sequence : 3,8,13,..

The first term, a=3

Common diffrence, d = 8-3 = 5

Let nth term be 302

nth term of an arithmetic progression is given by a+ (n-1)d

Therefore, a+(n-1)d = 302

3+(n-1)5 = 302

3+5n - 5 =302

5n -2 =302

5n =304

n = 304/5

n cannot be a fraction. Hence, 302 is not the term of the given A.P.
