the 17th term of an ap is 5 more than twice of its 8th term and the 11th term of the ap is 43 then the nth termis
Answers
=> a + 10d = 43 -------(1)
T17 = 2× T8 + 5
=> a + 16d = 2 (a + 7d) + 5
=> a + 16d = 2a + 14d + 5
=> - a + 2d = 5
=> 2d - a = 5 -------(2)
On adding equation 1 and 2, we get
12d = 48
=> d = 4
Now,
On substituting the value d in equation 2, we get
2 (4) - a = 5
=> 8 - a = 5
=> a = 3
Tn = a + (n-1)d
= 3 + ( n-1)(4)
= 3 + 4n - 4
= 4n - 1

✤ How to solve?
For the above question, We need to know the formula of nth term of an AP, That is:
\large{ \boxed{ \sf{a_n = a + (n - 1)d}}}
a
n
=a+(n−1)d
Here, an is the last term, a is the first term, n is the no. of terms and d is the common difference. ☃️ So, let's solve this question...

✤ Solution:
By using the above formula,
a17 = a + 16d
a8 = a + 7d
a11 = a + 10d
According to condition-1)
➝ a17 = 2a8 + 5
➝ a + 16d = 2(a + 7d) + 5
➝ a + 16d = 2a + 14d + 5
➝ a - 2a + 16d - 14d = 5
➝ - a + 2d = 5
➝ - a = 5 - 2d
➝ a = 2d - 5.........(1)
According to condition-2)
➝ a11 = 43
➝ a + 10d = 43
Substituting value of a in this eq.
➝ 2d - 5 + 10d = 43
➝ 12d - 5 = 43
➝ 12d = 48
➝ d = 48/12
➝ d = 4
Putting the value of d in eq.(1),
➝ a = 2(4) - 5
➝ a = 8 - 5
➝ a = 3
We have to find, a15
➝ a15 = a + 14d
➝ a15 = 3 + 14(4)
➝ a15 = 3 + 56
➝ a15 = 59
☀️ 15th term of the AP = 59
