Question

is zero a term of the ap 31,28,25​

Answer 1

$\underline{\underline{\LARGE{\orange{\mathsf{Solution}}}}}$

Given A.P : 31, 28, 25,....

let an = 0

Here, a = 31

d = 28 - 31 = - 3

By using first n terms of A.P,

an = a + (n - 1)d

0 = 31 + (n - 1) × - 3

0 = 31 - 3n + 3

0 = 34 - 3n

3n = 34

n = 34/3

n = 11.33...

As, n is not a natural number,

Therefore, A.P does not have 0 as a term.
